 Good Cast-Interesting Movie March 16, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Reign of Fire brings to the screen the unlikely scenario that ash-eating dragons will take over the world and humanity will become near extinct as a result.
It is the year 2020 and an isolated community in England trying to survive in the dragon dominated world is visited by an American military force bound on bringing an end to the reign of reptiles...
Don't look for the movie to make any sense; it doesn't.
Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey, Gerard Butler, Alexander Siddig (from Star Trek DS9!), the lovely Izabella Scorupco, and the rest of the cast carry out their performances well though the acting is nothing extraordinary.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the special effects, and the music are all good.
In a nutshell, it's probably not a movie you would want to add to your collection, but it will provide for an evening's entertainment. 3.5 Stars

Long story short: Mad Max fights dragons.
* Kid stumbles into a dragon's lair in a pit where his mom is the project manager digging a tunnel. Mom is killed.
* Dragon escapes and breeds. Kills everyone on earth, as humans use nukes to try to kill them. Earth is devastated.
* Band of English survive, led by the kid who has grown up. They hide in the underground of a castle, and practice and prepare the kids (next generation) for dragon attacks. One male dragon (bull), hundreds of females.
* Band of Americans stumble upon English. Americans use high tech to try to kill dragons. English skeptical. Almost all Americans die.
* Surviving Americans and English unite at the end to kill the male dragon.
Special Effects: Very Good
Plot: Very Simplistic
Buy?: Only if on sale (I got it for $6.99.)

This movie was totally missed at the movies or something.....I watch it alot. The special effects are great. The story line is great, the men are handsome and there is a bit of a love thing going on too. Matthew MCConaughay was almost unrecongnizable ! I would have like the plot to be developed out a bit more. I wanted the movie to be longer. But its a cool concept and definately not cheezy CGI. I like !

Reign reigns ! February 8, 2008
Truly an awesome disc with numerous short flix included and what with the voiceover you can spend 8 hours on this disc alone without getting bored. The dragons in BR are phenomenal to witness, as real as it gets. Considering how little BR discs actually cost for what you get this disc is a tremendous bargain and how excellent to see such a high quality dragon flic anyway. It's also great to see Gerard Butler before 300 fame in a scene-stealing cameo part. Bale is balefully brave and Matthew M is fantastic as the rogue marine dragon killer. He's never been better. All in all well worth every penny !
