![]() You need to realise that this camp believe they are the only ones left in the world as such, the drama element comes from the day-to-day lives of the survivors, and creates questions as to whose ideas are the best. The drama part of this film though is kind of interesting, but possibly weak plotted. Then there are moments of the camp gearing up to greet an invading party, a fight to take down a dragon, and so on. On the other side of that coin is a group of those survivors who have gone apple picking, now finding themselves face to face with the Dragon, so survivors from the camp turn up in fire engines to come save them (I said it was weird). One, a Dragon appears in the early morning, so the community batten down the hatches. Moments of action are still pretty rife, but they are different from what you may be expecting from your own ideas. There are sections of combat between Dragons and Humans, but really for the most part, it’s more a drama than an action movie. Quinn does provide a bit of back story as to how the events of the film ended up in the distant future and the events preceding it, but Reign of Fire is more of a survival deal with some action, but not necessarily all guns blazing action. It isn’t! Reign of Fire is a dystopian setting, but it mostly takes place after those things happened. If you look at the original poster, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Reign of Fire was going to be one big action movie with London on fire, and Dragons fighting waves of attack helicopter’s. Yes it is set in the UK, yes there is a massive Dragon and yes there is at least one Helicopter, but only one helicopter. One thing which should be noted ahead of time is that the poster doesn’t necessarily speak much truth. Reign of Fire in many regards, is something of a weird film. Less than a few months later, I received a copy for my Birthday (once again on VHS). ![]() I saw it, and I absolutely loved it, it was a film that I just enjoyed so much. Well, sadly I didn’t get a chance to see it at the cinema, but many months later, I was able to rent a copy of the film on VHS (remember those?) from Blockbuster Video (remember them?). As a fan of Monster Movie’s, that poster just spoke to me, and it was a film I just wanted to see so much. It was a picture of the House’s of Parliament on fire, with a giant dragon, as big as the building hovering above, and loads of attack helicopter’s in the background. I fell in love with Reign of Fire the first time I saw the movie’s poster at my local cinema.
