    Worth a watch, thanks mostly to a great cast and phenomenal CGI that holds up remarkably well to this day. The post-apocalyptic world is well realised, with the mix of medieval elements and modern technology working very well, however the script definitely could have been better and the climax is slightly disappointing. It's fun though, and make sure to look out for the fleeting appearance of King Joffrey. 10 years 3 months ago

    I don't think anyone ever expected a dragon apocalypse, so Reign of Fire scores some points on premise alone. It's also got a pretty good genre action cast, with Christian Bale and Gerard Butler as community leaders protecting a human stronghold (for Trekkies, Alexander Siddig is also there) and Matthew McConaughey as an American soldier with some experience and useful knowledge when it comes to slaying dragons. These beasts look pretty good and having burned the world, there's a Medieval feel to what's left. What hurts it is the structure. We start with an origin (a waste of Alice Krige) before plunging into cheap infodump narration, and McConaughey shows up as a main character only in the second act. It's clumsy. Never mind the slim world building that makes the plans and results highly suspect. Pretty watchable, but fails to realize its full potential. 1 year 11 months ago
