poor

Rating: 5/10 (25 November 2009)

went to see this film a week ago with the family, i had been looking forward to seeing the film reading reviews and hearing from friends that it was a cracking film, but it just didn't work for me don't get me wrong i have seen an hell of a lot worse but you could tell the main expenditure of the films budget had been allocated on the special effects and massive explosions that seem to be occurring every two seconds. all in all i found it a bit silly and a lot unbelievable. the kids loved it but at 10 and 12 years old they would. i do normally like cussack and harrelson but not in this i don't think this film will have done them any favours. i believe if they had halved the budget for special effects they would have achieved a more believable cast. not much mention of the mayan connection to the origins of the film title. a five out of ten for me.
