Entertaining sci-fi adventure.

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2002)

7 out of 10
This entertaining attempt at a Saturday matinee serial isn't as outright fun as any of the Indiana Jones films, but it's grand scale filmmaking with plenty of action and imagination to spare. The production is marred by too much so-so acting (Harrison Ford being the only exception), lame dialogue, and contrived plotting, but it's highly enjoyable escapist entertainment that's grown a massive following for a reason. The climactic action sequence is an exciting knockout.
