Nice effects, but just a movie

Rating: 6/10 (22 May 1999)

If I had gone into the movie with no expectations, I probably would have been pretty impressed, but as it was, there had been so much hype surrounding it that it was somewhat of a let down. The special effects were great, but the actual conflict/plot was weak. Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor were good, but some of the other actors were definitely not the cream of the crop. Worth seeing, but don't expect to be blown away.
