Visually impressive, otherwise hollow

Rating: 5/10 (7 June 1999)

Gotta say I'm very disappointed. The story was thin, at best. A dispute over trade routes? Geez, that's C-SPAN material. The acting was awful, the (human) characters bland, and the pace of the movie was very rushed. From scene to irrelevant/drawn-out scene, one watches this film without ever being connected to it. Emotionally empty, this film was never more than a series of action sequences.
