X is set in tokyo, There is a battle taking place between 7 dargons of the earth who want total destruction and 7 dragons of the heavens who want to protect the world. All comes down to the final 2 memebers of each team in a battle that will decide the earth's fate. Overall a good film, graphics are okay but not top notch but will pass. Plot generally is okay but there are times where you sense that it is slightly rushed. There is a LOT of killing in this film and i dont recommend it to young kids.
