Reign of Fire, Anyone seen it?
« Reply #15 on: July 26, 2002, 09:41:38 PM »
Great, Thanks all. I think it will definately be worth a trip to watch it on the big screen when it comes to the UK, I'm a sucker for special effects and the trailers seem to show they are definately up to the task, Even if the actual storyline seems a bit shallow. I was interested in how they explained the fire breathing bit. Apparently it's based on an African beetle that shoots 2 seperate chemicals which burst into flame when they are mixed a few inches away - (getting the convergence settings wrong could be fatal). ;).

IMHO the trailers were the best part of the movie. I agree the effects were good but the movie didn't support them adequately. This is a good "cheap theater" or matinae movie only. Don't pay full price for this one!

the dragon effects where cool, all in all it was just what I expected- mad max with dragons.

Too bad there are no drive-ins around anymore, reign of fire & eight legged freaks would be a perfect, classic double feature for the old drive-in.

Anyway you'll definitely want to see it on a big screen, but wait for the cheap theater or catch the matinee

Dunno about the film but I saw a trailer in a cinema in LA last month. It showed a clip with a schoolboy walking in front of a building site in london. There was a London Underground sign on the building site with "Jubilee Line" written underneath. A caption came on with the words "It is the year 2080...". I didn't see much further because I was laughing too hard. Everyone in the audience thought I was mad.

Note to Americans and other aliens: the Jubille line construction project has been going on for ever and is years over due (to any Mass-holes out there it is the London equivalent of the Big Dig).
