Reign of Fire

Reign of Fire. Initially it seemed more like a horror show, but only a few minutes into the movie it was clear that it was more of a roller coaster ride much like Jurassic Park, with a touch of the movie "Alien", or "Pitch Black" in the setting of "Mad Max". The story line was simple and the logic flawed. "After killing the dinosaurs the dragons took a million year long nap, but now we're simply gonna try to starve the suckers to death." or "Killing the male will take care of the breeding problem and thus we're all saved." According to that theory, the female dragons must have only lived for a couple of days. Verdict: Pretty stupid.
