| REIGN
OF FIRE
With Matthew McConnaughey, Christian Bale, Izabella Scorupco,
Gerard Butler
Directed by Rob Bowman
The world has been laid to
waste by dragons awakened from their ancient slumber. It is the UK and the few
people left over have to hide from the flame spewing beasts. Then a crack team
of military Yanks arrives, with a plan to defeat the monsters. Power struggle
here, moral dilemma there. Our two head butting leaders of each group has to work
together to nail the dragons. As you enter this celluloid landscape, you'll either
surrender to its fantasy elements or dismiss it as ludicrous - by avoiding the
latter you'll get far more entertainment out of it. An interesting premise with
elements of humanity and well placed action that prevents it from becoming a mere
dark, morbid struggle for survival.
