Watch Reign of Fire For Free

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The positives: Acting was ok, although the characters were mostly one dimensional, and the hero/pretty lady part didn't really grip me, and neither did the hero dad/adopted son part. Sound was very good. Visuals were good, but lacked depth. Both the Mad Max films and Waterworld did a better job at creating a dystopian wolrd. The idea behind the story was inventive and should have been a great story.The negative: A list of a few of the things that didn't make sense. * How did Denton Van Zan cross the Atlantic during one hour of dusk? * Why didn't Denton Van Zan & crew try to sneak into London by dusk when they knew the dragons couldn't see properly? Was it only Quinn who was smart enough to realize this cause he's the big hero? * How did the giant dragon know where the castle was? * And where was it? Near Edinburgh? Or just on the border of London? * What do dragons eat? Soot or flesh? If flesh, why did they burn everyone? If soot, why did they sometimes eat them alive? * What were the nuclear weapons used against? A superhigh consentration of dragons somewhere? That would be a city, but a city before the dragons get there would be manslaughter and after the dragons were there would be unneccessary because the dragons would leave when there were no more people there. And London was spared. So there's no place to nuke that makes sense, * When all the worlds army forces had been in ruins for 20 years after having so little success that Denton Van Zan is greeted as a magic man for having a dragons tooth, how come all it took to take out the giant dragon was an explosive shot from a crossbow? * After the big boy died, did all the other dragons just disappear? This film was jawdropping. I wish it was because it was good, but my jaw droped because my brain was unable to cope with all the logical flaws of the film and had no resources left to control my facial muscles.

Great Story line, but you are supposed to be able to suspend disbelief. This treatment makes it difficult for the viewer to do that. The CGI is good The characterisation is good. But the conclusion is just not satisfying. This supposed to represent the survival of the human race. Why, at the end, am I left feeling like I've just watched a fast food ad ?

This is another post-apocalyptic film, the apocalypse this time having been brought about by dragons. Not ordinary dragons, but terrifying dragons that move lightning fast and scorch the earth like napalm. The story starts with a group of tough, grimy, low tech humans trying their best to survive in this world, and doing a pretty good job of it. But then a group of well-armed high-tech humans shows up and bring the battle to another level. Their goal is not just to survive, but to destroy all the dragons. These two groups are each led by strong-willed leaders, who naturally ram heads with each other for a while. They each believe in what they're doing. Will they be able to work together? Even though the two leaders are two of the best actors on the planet (McConaughey and Bale), they put on pumped-up cartoonish performances here. I suppose that's what most of the watchers of this movie would want. I think the movie is aimed at teenage boys more than anyone else. I thought this was an enjoyable enough action film. I had serious suspension-of-disbelief issues for a few scenes, but I was able to look past it. There was more grit and sweat in the movie than magic. This movie has little fantasy or medieval context to it, although it does a good job of showing a dark, apocalyptic world.

This film is great, I have watched numerous times and it is always good value.What is so good is seeing the emergence of Christian Bale (pre Batman) as being able to hold and command a leading role. He had done so previously but this was his first action role and this then leads on to his future.However, it is Matthew McConaughey who commands and elicits most interest in the film. I really do believe that it is this film that began his renaissance. It proved he could act and could also do gritty roles.This is a seminal film for both actors, great work and good for their future prospects.
