Reign of Fire
Reign of Fire is an entertaining Sci-Fi Action movie if you’re in need of a quick Friday night fix for that sort of thing. Elements of believability are spotty at best, but the special effects are nothing short of spectacular. Matthew McConaughey plays an American soldier/dragon slayer in this futuristic tale where fire-breathing monsters prey upon a burnt-out England. Blazing tattoos, a scruffy beard, and a piss poor attitude, it’s hard to imagine that this guy was once considered Hollywood’s gift to the ladies—even the next Paul Newman. Contrast and irony are almost as big a stimulation as the CGI dragons. Anyway, we found this movie to be entertaining on several levels, but not a landmark achievement by any means.
