Reign of Fire (2002)
5/10
Edgeless, pointless and ultimately plot less
7 August 2006
What's the point of this movie? Action? Okay, you get a bit but not very much, really. Thrills? Perhaps, only there weren't any. Acting? Kidding, right?! A story, then? Well, most of the story was told in voice-over during the intro credits - not much left for the movie to build on. Pyro tech galore?! Not more than your average TV whodunit. Sci-Fi? Nope - they're trying for realism this time. Pretty girls being rescued by smashing heroes, then? Not even that!? I don't know what more to expect in a movie, other than mystery or drama or psychological depth and high brow stuff like that, but I definitely wouldn't want to impose such expectations upon this type of movie, so all in all it failed to deliver what one could in all fairness come to expect. No edge, no point, no plot - the only "full"-word I can think of to counter the "less"-words, is "awful" - and even that has only one "l".
