Not the best movie ever... but mildly entertaining. The characters are somewhat likable and the story was predictable but decent. PS Aron, your not cool and couldn't write a review worth reading to save your life... regardless of what Not the best movie ever... but mildly entertaining.

A stupid ending, with laughable dialogue and Matthew McConaughey looking and acting like something out of GI joe and yet I was never bored and found it quite entertaining.

I love this movie, its great. Don't know why it received such bad reviews, after all, its fantasy.

Best epic of the year! I was at the edge of my seat throughout the whole movie. The only problem is that the story needs some work.

Far from the classics that were also released in 2002 such as Signs and Spider-Man, yet good silly entertainment none-the-less. Don't expect much more, though.

But also, strong concepts as survival, friendship and especially how a religion starts from a real necessity of indoctrination when there is no universal education, or how technology can beat giant monsters (usually represented invulnerable, from heavy tanks to nuclear bombs, removing the small trail of credibility that fantasy need). I was a child and didn't think about these things, just started to renew my stories with that trail of realism I experimented for first time here.… Expand

I like this film very much! I first saw him as a child. Very good atmosphere of post-apocalypse in film, good actors and unusual villains - dragons. However film is short. For all time was killed only two dragons - not enough action, InI like this film very much! I first saw him as a child. Very good atmosphere of post-apocalypse in film, good actors and unusual villains - dragons. However film is short. For all time was killed only two dragons - not enough action, In addition dragons are rarely seen in film. Very weak and sometimes stupid story... But despite this, I think this film is very good. Even today it looks good, but the film was created in 2002!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is one of the early distopian world movies before Divergent, Zombieland, Maze Runner, the Hunger Games and many more. The cast is none other than the triple threat Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey, and Gerard Butler who all are survivors in a dragonic hell. It is apparent that dragons weren't just some myth or story passed down from sightings of a prehistoric reptile, in fact the creatures were just slumbering miles below our feet in massive cave systems waiting to be introduced to a new feeding ground. Their low light environment they evolved from makes them excellent hunters during the night and their extreme environments made their scales hard as armor, they make quick work of the oblivious world above defenses and leave very few survivors. A group of american survivors armed to the teeth with military grade equipment and rambo like skills are hunting the alpha in a last attempt to save the world. My personal opinion is this movie was way underrated, if this movie was given a REAL chance at a sequel or even a show it would do well.… Expand
