Reign of Fire
okay, not strictly horror, but definately a dark modern fantasy, so close.
Anyone else like this movie? Personally, i think it succeeded where most Sci-Fi channel movies fail (sorry Rod) when trying to take a modern spin on a traditional monster, in a more modern setting.
granted, it has its faults... Even I dont buy the Single male theory.... but, that is how you deal with painting yourself into a corner.
I loved the attempt at scientifically explaining the fire breathing. I enjoy the backstory about them killing the dinosaurs. I even like them just being animals.
This is the first movie i saw with Christian Bale where i was aware of him being Christian Bale. I also enjoyed Matthew McOn whatever as a cold-hearted bad ass. Very different for him since he always seems to play the nice laid back guy.
