good ingredients but with familiar results

Rating: Null/10 (10 March 2017)

In the early 1970s, a government team is assembled for a portentous exploration of a mysterious, uncharted island in the Pacific. Among them are a former British SAS officer paid to act as an expert tracker and mercenary, a government agent who may know more than meets the eye, a fanatical U.S. Army officer commanding the military escort, and a photojournalist with a different agenda altogether. Naturally, their journey turns into one of nonstop peril when they encounter a various assortment of dangers along the way. Well-cast, occasionally exhilarating, with more than enough special effects to please the eye, but doesn't provide much of anything that you haven't already seen in previous renditions. **½
