Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies. I like the action and the special effects. Actors are ok.DVD Review: Tea: I'll have more, thanks!
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, I love this movie and watch it every time it comes on. It's the perfect movie for a wintry cold day all bundled up drinking some tea with some freshly baked cookies.
It's the story of a man, played by Christian Bale (pre 'Batman' and 'Terminator'), with help from his best friend, played by Gerald Butler (pre '300' and 'P.S. I love you') lead a make-shift group of men, women, and children, in England trying to survive in a world where dragons have taken over the skies. Enter Matthew McConaughey, who has tracked down the origins of the dragons to England, and who flew over with this band of dragons killers from America.
Great story, loved the characters and the alternate futuristic story. Nice Visual Effects too (remember this movie was made in 2002).. Matthew's acting was awesome! And a great edge of your seat battle at the end!
DVD Review: Pretty Straightforward Stuff
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a bit different than one expected. There was no nonsense, no tongue-in-cheek humor or special-effects just for the sake of it: this was simply a humans vs. dragons story taking place in the future. No laughs and nothing hokey, which is what I expected. They played it straight, simply as a fight story between the two parties.
Yes, there were credibility problems with the story but overall, it was good escapist adventure. The dragons were realistic-looking, the scenery dreary but the story interesting and intense in spots.
I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a night of adventure on film. You could do a whole lot worse, especially with two young actors who have arrived as stars: Christian Bale and Matthew McConnaughey.
DVD Review: Not interesting enough
Summary: 3 Stars
Although the CGI effects looked fantastic, and McConaughey and Bale were excellent, I found Reign of Fire to be very dull. Other people liked this film and that's fine, but personally I wasn't really entertained when I watched this movie. The action sequences weren't that exciting, and the dragon fights weren't really interesting. Maybe it's because of the old and tired stereotypes of the dragons that annoy me. Oh well, at least I enjoyed "Equilibrium".
Grade: C
Description of Reign of Fire
Matthew McConaughey (U-571) and Christian Bale (SHAFT) star in an explosive action-packed adventure with bone-charring special effects that will have you glued to your seat! When workers in a London tunneling project awaken an unearthly fire-breathing beast from centuries of slumber, all hell breaks loose. Twelve-year-old Quinn (Bale) sees his mother, one of the workers, die trying to escape this new terror. Twenty years later as a "fire chief," he tries to keep a group of refugees alive with fierce dragons dominating the air, burning the land and feeding on the ash. Unexpectedly, Van Zan (McConaughey), a hotshot American militia leader, shows up with a ragtag group of slayers on a perilous crusade to hunt down and destroy the beasts. Tempers flare when there is a struggle for leadership -- until both men realize only one species is getting out of this alive.The Road Warrior meets Dragonslayer in the briskly entertaining post-apocalyptic action thriller Reign of Fire. Reign of Fire exists primarily to give us a bigger and better dragon than the Vermithrax Pejorative of 1981's classic Dragonslayer, and in that regard, the special effects are mightily impressive; the reptilian fire-breathers are stupendously convincing. While the earlier film offers a richer, more whimsical medieval adventure, Reign of Fire is a fast-moving tale of man versus dragon that takes place in the charred England of 2020, after Earth has been scorched by rapidly multiplying dragons and the aftermath of a futile nuclear counterstrike. Mixing high-tech gadgetry with primitive survivalism, X-Files alumnus Rob Bowman makes the most of his midlevel budget, establishing a lavish castle base for the rugged, adversarial teaming of Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey as dragonslayers on the brink of extinction. With a steady supply of crowd-pleasing highlights, Reign of Fire is a pyrotechnical treat. --Jeff Shannon
