Reign of Fire (2002)

Synopsis: In the future, the Earth is dominated by dragons.
Appraisal: With the technology that is available today for production of computer-generated imagery, it was only natural that an idea like this would come up: a science-fiction film with dragons. The visuals are the main attraction here, and all that the screenplay has to do is provide some opportunities for the display of those lovely beasts flying around and throwing fire. It actually does it, and even more. The film is reasonably good entertainment, with good action sequences and a coherent (though not very imaginative) story connecting them. Someone tell me: isn't there a previous film where there are many monsters but it suffices to kill one of them to stop them from reproducing? Am I having a false-memory episode here?
Rating: 54
