Witcher: Sirens of the Deep - How Special Is It for Witcher Fans?

Hello friends, I am Joy. Today I am going to review the new film of the Witcher universe The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep. After watching the trailer of this film, it was clear that it focuses on the side story. But on the other hand, being an animated film of the Witcher universe, my expectations were also a bit high. I thought that maybe this film would do something good and special in the Witcher universe.

Initial Reaction & Expectations

Talking about the live-action series, initially its graph was going up brilliantly with Henry Cavill. But Netflix almost ruined this universe with its interference. This situation is like firing a missile on a sinking Titanic. If they save it with a new actor in the next two seasons, then it is fine, otherwise this franchise will end completely. Netflix has also understood this now, and perhaps that is why they have made this new film as damage control.

Now take a look at the story. The film focuses on one of the Witcher's side missions, particularly the character of Yasmin and her bond with her friend. Their relationship is a symbol of brother-sister love, which is explored a bit. Also, the story of this universe shows a king and his son, who are madly in love with a mermaid.

Story Summary

The people of the kingdom want the king to come out of this love story so that they can save their kingdom. Meanwhile, there are many political conspiracies going on. The Witcher is tasked with investigating a special case. If he does not solve this case on time, then war is certain between two kingdoms - one of humans on land and the other of mermaids. The underwater scenes of the mermaids are dubbed in Hindi, giving the audience some relief.

The film is about an hour and a half long. Is it worth the time to watch it? Let's talk about its details now. I didn't have much expectation from this film, but Netflix has taken a step towards damage control and has paid a lot of attention to the Witcher's side missions in this animated film. This surprised me a lot.

I can say that this film is worth the time, but it should not be put on the level of that first animated project. This is the story of a different mission, which presents its simple story completely by staying in the Witcher universe. To understand this, you should have a good knowledge of the Witcher universe - for example, what is the significance of Jennifer to the Witcher, or what the Witcher has done in his past.

If you understand this universe, then you will like this film even more. Apart from the Witcher, good attention has also been given to the other characters. Netflix has shown its 5% in this film, which is the specialty of their content.

Talking about the visuals, a little 3D effect at the end looks strange, but still this film is in a position to survive. It's worth giving it a try. The Hindi dub is great, and this is a movie you can't watch with your family. But it's clear that if Netflix wants to take this universe forward honestly, this style of animation is the right fit.

They lost one of the best actors in live-action, Henry Cavill, and the audience is witness to how the whole story was ruined. After Henry Cavill's departure, many fans have sworn not to watch the upcoming seasons. Those who watched the last season must have also been disappointed at how such a great franchise was ruined.

My Rating

Now, let's talk about the ratings. For action, this movie deserves 3 stars out of 5. For comedy, which failed to make me laugh, 1 star out of 5. For drama, 2.5 stars out of 5. For suspense, 0 stars out of 5 according to me, but for a new audience, it can work to some extent. Talking about horror and feel, both ratings have been taken into consideration, and in this category it deserves 2 stars out of 5.

For the mass audience, this content is A-. Critics will give it a rating of B. In my opinion, it deserves B+ in terms of enjoying it. This is a content worth passing time. If you have time, do watch it.
