I mean the movie itself wasn’t the greatest but the concept is wicked. Usually dragons are in a fantasy setting, so they usually fight armies of knights, magic, or even other dragons or monsters. It’s not often you see them face off against machine guns and missiles and stuff like that.
As much as I like this film, I think the initial fight against the dragons would’ve made for an even cooler movie. Come on, we all want to see a dragon take on an F-35.
While I do somewhat agree with it, that movie would be repetitive. It would make for an epic prequel, but they would need to show it from Quinn's point of view, and that could take a bit of work. It would turn into Pearl Harbor. (Not referencing the movie, but the actual event) peopke would take to the skies and be wiped out almost immediately. Those airplanes on the ground would be wiped out soon after for food. And people left would just throw whatever they had at the dragons though it would be useless. I understand that Van Zan and his crew learned how to take out dragons. They had to learn though. It probably took many men and many years for him to actually have a method of taking out dragons. Even then it could take the lives of atleast 3 men per dragon killed. All im saying is that it would not be much of a fight. At the beginnibg when a grown Quinn was narrating the destruction from the dragons he said they spread like wildfire. I see Quinn as the type to want to kill the dragons, and I imagine he did whatever he could to help within the first ten years. I have a theory that he used to try and kill dragons till he realized how many more lives were lost that way so he turned to survival. He kept those around him alive by staying hidden, and only leaving the security of their own castle to get necessities
That went way off track really fast. To sum up while the first fight back from this movie would be very interesting it would not take up much time. The movie would then need to show how the human race survived and coped. From this movie it's obvious that it was seemingly hopeless so people decided only to do what was needed to carry on their species
@@ShadowHand. As far as you know. If you seriously have to be “that guy” then we can retroactively say “F22, F18, F14, or F4 Phantom” if you can’t compromise.
Certainly there are similarities to some scenes, particularly the giant eye looking at someone. Of course Ghidorah would have eaten this dragon for breakfast.
Never occurred to me before, but they kinda did Harry Potter before Harry Potter, in that the dragon in a way marked him and in the end he was the one who took down the dragon.

2:47 and onward is way too reminiscent of what people in the elevators and the lobby of WTC 1 experienced during 9/11 immediately after the first plane hit. It's absolutely nuts that this film only came out 9 months after 9/11, and scenes like this were not modified for sensitivity. It's one of my favorite movies from childhood, but I'm never going to feel the same way watching this movie now that I can see these parallels in this scene as well as many others. The script was written before 9/11, so all of the parallels are most likely coincidences, but it's still scary.
Ravenpawfan 161 guessing it inadvertently killed her with its claws scaling up the shaft. She was leaning on the side of the elevator, and it wouldn’t take much reach for her to have been accidentally impaled
@@lazarus6366 No no no his eyes, what effect did the liquid have on his eyesight. He clearly had vision problems, and I'm not talking about him becoming Batman!
I always thought that when the dragon took off crushing the elevator he got her face with his claws and somehow broke her neck and she stayed sorta standing because of being stuck in place by either being sandwiched between the crushed pieces of metal or impaled
"Dragon" is a very nondescript term as Dragon is a word that has been used to refer to hundreds of unique mythical beasts across the world. From the noble serpentine mammalian of China to the Lion headed everything bodied Tarrasque Dragon and Wyvern are arbitrary terms. The truth is that what counts as a "Dragon" is not based on limb number but is based on whatever the hell the creator says. If Monster Hunter can call the Deviljho a Wyvern then Reign Of Fire can call its beasts Dragons. I chose to draw the line at Fire Breathing vs Venom personally but that's just me.
@@theredlindworm732 Since dragons don't actually exist and there's absolutely no evidence that they ever did you can call a dragon whatever you want. The rules of fiction are different.
thats exactly the point i'm trying to make. There is absolutely no strict definition as to what a Dragon is and thus if the author wants to call there two legged two two-winged beasts Dragons than thats alright.
No no no…depressing as hell, the wonderful movie poster was the best bit…it basically faked us all into watching it. They advertised a war with dragons on modern times, instead we get a wasteland mad max stlye vs dragons. 6/10
I hate to spoil it I like the movie. But fire needs oxygen. So one would assume the dragons do. But they destroy all the plants that produce it. Which also means the ppl still alive don't have it.
Trees and other land-based plants only produce around 30% of Earth’s oxygen, with the rest being produced by algae in the ocean. Also, with most land-based life eradicated, global oxygen consumption would be much lower and this would likely offset any fall in production.

This movie was really underrated
The dragons in this film looked splendid

He told me to do it 😅😂
Really love the suspenseful build up, kind of scary like Jurassic Park

Don't you just hate it when you're mining excurvations and dig your way into a wyvern nest
Wyverns only have two legs. This was def a dragon 😉

I agree with the OP. There are so many movies out there who play after the big war where all the great battles are already over.
This movie came out in 2002. The F-35 didn't have it's first flight until 2006.
@@ShadowHand. As far as you know. If you seriously have to be “that guy” then we can retroactively say “F22, F18, F14, or F4 Phantom” if you can’t compromise.
I remember that I used to imagine situations like this when I was a kid. Going into a cave only to accidentally awaken an eldritch being.
God I love the atmosphere of this movie. Nowadays it would have tons of jokes and terrible CGI effects.
That blast of fire when they ran for the elevator was pretty bad. But I agree, these days it would be much worse.
Anyone else worried that this movie`s plot takes place in 2020? lol.
Joseph Patterson to be fair being killed by a dragon is a more fun way to go out than by a virus
@@rhinosaurus6085 TRUE
From what I saw on the trailer, it was 2084
Wait actually
We had our version of the dragons 😅😂
I would love to see a series set after the dragon first woke up, and how the dragons took over the world
Eu também. Ver a sociedade admirando e se assustando
Reminds me of the scene in Godzilla: King of the Monsters in which King Ghidorah awakens.
Certainly there are similarities to some scenes, particularly the giant eye looking at someone. Of course Ghidorah would have eaten this dragon for breakfast.
Godzilla would have eaten them all for breakfast
You know it's a Disney movie when the parent dies as soon as the movie starts.
would have loved to see the fall of man rather than the time skip ngl
A prequel would be nice.

Getting major Alien Vibes from those walls
The movie had flaws, but the dragon visuals were very impressive.
What didn't you like about it
@@thebutchernassa8384 I had only one problem with it ever... it was too short
This is a Coolest Classic my friends. Thanks.
That dragon has been sleeping peacefully for centuries until now
Never occurred to me before, but they kinda did Harry Potter before Harry Potter, in that the dragon in a way marked him and in the end he was the one who took down the dragon.
Dragon at 1:40 "Dude that fucking TICKLES!"
That's not a dragon
at 3:32 Male Dragon casts a glare
You put bale and Mathew TG it’s going to be legendary
The dragons looked better in this movie than GOT.
1:57 what are the dragon was that before it spots at Quinn
Health and saftey out the window.

Talk about getting a morning shower 🤣
I would literally piss myself if I hear that thing breathing and looking at me upside down.
They delved too deep
I like the male dragon he's quiet a handsome dragon
Wat the vampire law and rules
I wonder if this scene is a call back to Aliens. When the queen was after Ripley and Newt.
2:47 and onward is way too reminiscent of what people in the elevators and the lobby of WTC 1 experienced during 9/11 immediately after the first plane hit.

Wait how did the mom die ? Was she crushed by the dragon?
I wonder why the dragon didn't eat when Quinn instead it's spat him in the eyes
Well, considering he had just woken up after being asleep for several thousand years, I would think he was still feeling a little groggy.
It didn’t eat Quinn because these dragons don’t feed directly on their prey. They feed on ashes left behind after burning their target.
I never understood how his mum was killed. Does anyone actually know?
Ravenpawfan 161 guessing it inadvertently killed her with its claws scaling up the shaft. She was leaning on the side of the elevator, and it wouldn’t take much reach for her to have been accidentally impaled
Another possibility is that the cage was partially crushed by the dragon's passage (it looked that way), and she was crushed or impaled by it.
She must of got impaled by the claws
You can see claw marks on her face at the very end. I imagine she got hit when it reached up and crushed the elevator.
She got crushed to death by the elevator walls, seems kinda obvious
They're extremely intelligent
Highly evolved
and they don't like sharing the planet

Its more of a wyvern
No
Is it a male or female?.
Male only male others are female
@@ginji2830 thanks.
how the hell did his mum die I don't understand
It was offscreen but I’d say the dragon just bit into the elevator and she got skewered by a piece of steel of a fang.
I think she got crushed when the dragon pushed itself to fly, you get to see some bent metal behind her when they focus her.
I always thought that when the dragon took off crushing the elevator he got her face with his claws and somehow broke her neck and she stayed sorta standing because of being stuck in place by either being sandwiched between the crushed pieces of metal or impaled
Blunt force in the elevator.
They're not "Dragons", they're Wyverns. Big difference...
so they become able to fly later in the film and then become dragons? hahahahaa
