The premise revolves around a dormant dragon that is awakened and the ensuing worldwide destruction. It's fantasy in regards to the dragons and dystopian in regards to the world setting, but it's also a tense survival story with respectable character arcs. And the soundtrack is good! It doesn't have soaring, singable melodies, but it has action and energy behind it that drives the movie and is fun to listen to on its own.
I won't go so far as to say this movie is fantastic and build it up higher than it deserves, and my enjoyment of it may have been helped by my low expectations, but it is still worthy of some praise. It doesn't quite hit 5 stars for me. I thoroughly enjoyed it, so I give it a solid 4 stars, but it misses that last star because I'm not sure how recommendable it is. I think it will hit the spot for a niche group of people (like me), but utterly fail with others.
I will probably watch it again.
The movie is largely set in Northumberland, though the Northumberland on display here looks nothing like the Northumberland I grew up in. It is a rugged outpost for human survivors of the dragon attacks and Christian Bale proves that his childhood performance in Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun" was no fluke. Before he would become internationally known as Batman, Bale was quietly appearing in a wide variety of film roles. Also a surprise is Matthew McConaughey who eschews his usual tame roles as an action hero. He plays Van Zan, a leader of American dragon slayers arriving in the U.K. to do battle with the dragons. The movie heats up (pun intended) along with the action.
So, how does this Blu-ray edition stack up to the previous DVD - extremely well in fact for one of the first movies to be released in the then fledgling format.
Disney lives up to its sterling standard with this flawless AVC codec transfer. Detail is exceptional with some terrific facial detail and those unfamiliar Northumberland rocky dwellings. The color palette is also pleasing with well balanced reds and oranges for the dragon's fire breathing and black levels unswervingly excellent. The previous DVD version looks lifeless and drab by comparison.
The audio quality on the disc is another standout effort which puts the subpar DVD release to shame. Disney have mixed this audio extremely well, delivering outstanding 5.1 PCM tracks with active and aurally exciting surround presentations. The audio track really comes to life as dragons fly from side to side and from front to back with such a 360° enveloping that it needs to be heard to be believed. This track will put your surround system to the test.
Toss out that low definition DVD because all the special features from that release have been ported over to the Blu-ray, in addition to a Blu-ray exclusive 1080p HD trailer for the movie. Included on this release of "Reign of Fire" is the previously released "Breathing Life into the Terror," and "If You Can't Take the Heat" in addition to the rather dry audio commentary by director Rob Bowman (who spends too much time in my opinion on the technical side of the production) and the original theatrical trailer. Together it's not an overly impressive set of features, but it's pleasing to see that this Blu-ray makes the DVD release irrelevant.
And that really is the best way to sum up this Blu-ray release. The standard def DVD is unsurprisingly overshadowed by this high definition Blu-ray which bests the DVD in every single department. Use the DVD as a coaster because once you have seen "Reign of Fire" in high definition Blu-ray you will never want to watch it in standard def DVD ever again.

でも『ドラゴンハート』のようにヌルイ内容ではなく
恐怖の対象として描かれています。
今をときめくイケメン3名が出演していますが
みんな薄汚いので初めは誰が誰だか分かりません。
特にマシュー・マコノヒーなんぞはスキンヘッドで
エンドロールまで誰だか分りませんでした。
内容は主にドラゴン退治の話です。
序盤の人類滅亡の危機に至った理由も
途中で面倒になったので適当に思いついた様な
ハッピーエンドもかなりいい加減ですが
大好きなB級エンターティメント映画の王様
ロブ・ボウマン監督作品なので全てOKです。
しかしなによりも特筆すべきはよく出来たドラゴンの描写。
迷作『ドラゴンスレイヤー』以来の感動なので
☆☆☆☆です。
