Even if the story is so unreal I really liked the scenario, because is pioneer! First time I saw a movie that is merging dragons with the future. I think the story was interesting and ofcourse the casting was really good!
One more think that I really liked on this movie was the scenes, which were really atmospheric.
Don't expect to watch a movie for deep thinkers but is definitely worths a try!

Reign Of Fire is certainly not a very good movie, but it's fascinating nonetheless, if a little frustrating in the sense that there's a good story buried under almost two hours of Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale screaming at each other. You'd think a flick that starred a trio of those two plus a young Gerard Butler fighting dragons in a futuristic London would be a surefire winner, but nah. Bale plays the leader of a ragtag band of survivors who have been forced underground by the arrival of monstrous dragons which take up residence in London and char - grill the hell out of it. McConaughey plays an outsider, a hotshot warrior who shows up claiming he has discovered away to kill the beast. Tension sprouts between him and Bale. And the rest of the film is yelling, running, stuff burning and whatnot. The dragons look cool enough, but it wears off once the reality of the mediocre script sets in. Butler fares best in a supporting role, as does Izabella Scorupco, the both of them outshine old Christian and Man. It's a meh of a flick.

Brave Americans have been saving the world in cinematography for many- many years (mostly from aliens and terrorists). This time though it was something unbelievably fresh. The world have been saved by Americans together with English from...dragons(!)...in future! Such wow! This is...fantastic...in all senses. Don't get me wrong, i did like the movie, but mostly due to the cast. Mcconaughey did his job exquisitely once again. One will find him in a very unusual role here (not that i barely recognized him or something, i did, and was even really amazed). For Bale - well job as well. The plot and the actualization are cheesy but it could be worse (there are lots of similar movies which are trashy). But this one is quite fascinating, sometimes even intriguing. So i would recommend to watch it just for one time. Evening, beer, pizza and Mcconaughey killing dragons - a pretty nice kit for having a good time, don't you think?

What happens when fire breathing dragons roam the world. Obviously, fire reign in the sky ergo Reign of Fire. Now that we had cleared that up, heh, we enter in a world of scarcity, battle, hopelessness in the eyes of some people. But there are some, who lives on to fight and regains what was lost. Some question them, what is the point? Why still fight a battle were even when fleets, armies, marines were helpless against them, completely decimated.For this two completely opposite view, we are introduced to two people of one that found a way to live with it, and one who continues to fight this ravaging merciless beasts. This is not all fight. This two people living in two opposite lives, comes to different realization. The fighter comes to helplessness and the farmer learns there is still something left to fight.Now, the graphics. Real and life like. That's all that I could say. Very believable. Motions of the dragons when landing or flying both closely resembles the birds. The way the body flexes, considers the weights and length of its neck and wings, and tails.Entertaining in a way only battles and death can give. Edgy and worldly, you know, where world is at stake.
