This post-apocalyptic thriller nonsense is about par for Matthew McConaughey, but way way substandard for Christian "American Psycho" Bale. And how Gerard Butler got pulled into the mix, I just do not know. It is a very odd combination for a silly movie, with barely passable fx.
The words 'cheesy' and 'low budget' come to mind, and on that basis the flick doesn't disapppoint. If this sort of bottom-feeding genre is your thing, you might actually enjoy it.
I cannot rate it higher than 4/10, and that's really stretching things, throwing in an extra point for Bale. Another reviewer, who agrees with my rating, referred to this movie as "Mad Max meets the Dragons".
Two decades hence, fire-breathing dragons (ha ha ha) have taken over our planet, and the few remaining pockets of human beings struggle to survive and combat the continuing threat. Honestly !
Yeah, we all know how people from different nations/religions/etc/etc will pull together to fight a common enemy, and that's what happens here. (yawn)
I had to chuckle at the reviewers who gave this movie 10 or 9... such as Margie8321 who said in July 2002:<"Reign of Fire" was a great!> Yes, that's exactly what she wrote, and she's reviewed the magnificent total of 6 movies! Wow!
