41KDie Herrschaft des Feuers: Directed by Rob Bowman. With Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey, Izabella Scorupco, Gerard Butler. A brood of fire-breathing dragons emerges from the earth and begins setting everything ablaze, establishing dominance over the planet.
“Sure, it was cheesy and low budget, but the indomitable Rob Bowman didnu0026#39;t pull any punches in this futuristic drama about dragons. Giving a scientific edge to a creature based in fantasy, this film proved to be a rather refreshing step in science fiction, which means it wonu0026#39;t be a well received one. Even if this film barely makes its money back, at least it leaves the door open for other fantastic ideas in the science fiction genre. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs for the film, the technical side was excellent. Bowman, a former television director proves he can do just as well with a 50 million dollar budget (?) and a tough to sell idea. Both Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey were believable as care taking heroes. Their bipolar dynamic was especially excellent, creating tension not just in beliefs but also in culture and devotion to country. McConaughey was especially good as Van Zant (which was well cast, considering he is an actual southerner), bringing a role to his resume which I had never seen. All in all, a decent film to watch. 7/10”
