“Day Of Reckoning” (** out of four) was a mediocre post-apocalyptic horror thriller about the return of evil flying carnivores who 15 years prior had eliminated mankind and how a group of survivors struggle to defeat them and to stay alive. Yet another mash-up of “Aliens” and “28 Days Later”, with elements of “Starship Troopers” and “Independence Day” thrown in the mix as well. Opening scenes are harrowing and feature some impressive special effects but story starts to drag around the halfway mark and you’ve seen this done much better, much before. ’80’s villain Raymond Barry who seems to have disappeared for the last 15 years also makes a solid return as one of the survivors.
