Disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2001)

Our listings magazine gave this 4 stars out of a possible 5.... way too generous! Maybe 2... 3 or 4 on the IMDb scale Excellent design and costumes, good action sequences, but otherwise poor. Plot holes galore, and, if you are going to do Science Fiction, why not get your 'tech-sounding' chat right??? The temperatures have already been referred to, but there is also a mention of 'thermonuclear sensing'... what??? at least Star Trek makes stuff sound genuinely realistic. I think the poor soundtrack (at least as broadcast on UK TV last night) makes it hard to pick out much of what people say -- but then we'd be able to spot more holes and inaccuracies all over the place. A sloppy mishmash of 'Indiana Jones', Erich von Daniken, 'Die Hard' and sub-Star Wars
