Review of Reign of Fire (2002) by Stefan G — 24 Aug 2014

This movie had no life whatsoever, and the entire concept behind the movie is a just plain stupid arrangement of ideas. Seriously, the film's story is only enjoyable if you're that willing to suspend your critical instincts or don't have any at all.

But that's the least of our worries. Aside from its dumb story and its pretentious presentation, the rest of the movie is still entirely uninteresting to the point that it's not even funny. The initial introduction to the dragons is also poor, you never really see them a dragon properly in the beginning, and when I finally get a proper look at the dragon it feels like a let down.

The special effects in this movie honestly feel artificial, as though the makers of the film didn't use enough of their $60 million budget. Lastly, the movie also has no real sense of flow, as transitions between events is oven choppy.

All-in-all, the movie is nothing special, but honestly, unless you got your hopes too high you won't be too moved by this movie in any way.
