One of my favourite movies in the dragon genre; this doesn't mess around!
This is grim stuff set in an almost completely destroyed world with the dragons supremely in charge, but there are also some sweet moments as the adults try to keep up a sense of optimism for the young.
Christian Bale always portrays serious characters very well and Gerard Butler adds some much needed charm.
Izabella Scorupco is excellent and it's nice to see a woman toughing it out with the men.
Without a doubt this is Matthew McConaughey's movie; his transformation into the character of Van Zan is truly remarkable and his acting is superb.
The story is very believable for a movie of this type and the CGI is outstanding!
The dragons themselves seal the deal, they are beautifully scary creatures that light up the screen as they thwart our hero’s plans!
This is a movie worth repeat viewings; a dark and gritty man vs. nature showdown and its one hell of a show...
