It's just loads of angst and ray guns

Rating: 5/10 (11 October 2012)

Not bad for a Kubrick film, but I wasn't impressed with the story line, lots of rushing about. However the film looks nice, the stills are better than the film, I prefer to look than to watch. But I still don't get whether it's a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, the setting differs a lot, however Mel Gibson's acting is probably one of the few theatrical highlights. Another thing is a small editing error I have noticed; the ordering of the films. They seem have accidentally made the final 3 first, and only realized in the late 90s, and had to cover the tracks by producing the first 3 in a hurried attempt to cover plot flaws. However, most people have over looked this and I think it adds character.
