Description
| The Road Warrior meets Dragonslayer
in the briskly entertaining post-apocalyptic
action thriller Reign of Fire.
Reign of Fire exists primarily
to give us a bigger and better
dragon than the Vermithrax Pejorative
of 1981's classic Dragonslayer,
and in that regard, the special
effects are mightily impressive;
the reptilian fire-breathers are
stupendously convincing. While
the earlier film offers a richer,
more whimsical medieval adventure,
Reign of Fire is a fast-moving
tale of man versus dragon that
takes place in the charred England
of 2020, after Earth has been
scorched by rapidly multiplying
dragons and the aftermath of a
futile nuclear counterstrike.
Mixing high-tech gadgetry with
primitive survivalism, X-Files
alumnus Rob Bowman makes the most
of his midlevel budget, establishing
a lavish castle base for the rugged,
adversarial teaming of Christian
Bale and Matthew McConaughey as
dragonslayers on the brink of
extinction. With a steady supply
of crowd-pleasing highlights,
Reign of Fire is a pyrotechnical
treat. |
