Reign of Fire [Buena Vista]

 

Do you know what your children are watching?

By TERESSA ELLIOTT

A good B-movie. That is, if you don't go in expecting much more than action, good special effects and dialogue along the lines of "we shall overcome," you'll have a good time.

In the future, humans battle fire-breathing dragons for our earth. The Brits (led by Christian Bale) are losing till the Americans (led by a wild-eyed Matthew McConaughey) come in to save their behinds (ah, patriotism!). Add some gnarly looking dragons swooping down, a bombed-out set and scenery chewing actors, and "Reign of Fire" is a pretty good DVD.

The extras are ok -- an interview with the director, a documentary on the special effects, a brief (only about 9 minutes) making-of documentary (which is basically an extended trailer)and the trailer itself.
