I get the feeling that this movie is very much incomplete. At the start, we skip from one dragon being awakened in London to thousands of dragons ruling the planet about 20 years later in the blink of an eye, with no real explanation. How does one male dragon reproduce I wonder. Maybe I wasn’t listening in reproduction classes at school! In the end, we skip from one male dragon being killed, to no dragons being seen for six months. Where did they all go? There are many, many questions like this that the movie doesn’t even attempt to answer, which leaves the viewer thinking about what could have been had a real writer been involved.
At one stage Quinn finds an egg, which is subsequently never discussed or seen again. It seems the editors had a field day with Reign of Fire!
They say in the film they also have no idea how they went from one to millions in so short a time. As far as all of them dissappearing, with the only male killed they had no way to reproduce and they were begining to starve anyway. And the egg that Quinn pulled from the dead dragon would have been unfertilised and therefore wouldn't have hatched. But I agree the film seems somewhat incomplete but was however enjoyable.
