Undiluted tripe

Rating: 1/10 (7 February 2007)

f you have some paint to watch drying choose that activity rather than watch this load of bullocks.
The film mainly consists of people looking soulfully into the middle distance whilst wearing pajamas. It seems to be trying to appeal to aged hippies who have had seriously bad strokes after years of extreme drug abuse - they'd be able to feel intellectually superior to the protagonists.
Sadly I really did have two hours that I had to kill, so I watched this utter tripe right to the end. It didn't get any better.
The plot, if you want to call it that, is to do with curing cancer and eternal life - but it doesn't seem that sure which or what. It pulls the poor Aztecs into the rubbish, as well as the Spanish Conquistadors and some gratuitous violence with Inquisition bashing (as if there are serious supporters of the Inquisition around today who might be offended). Rings feature a lot - presumably hoping for some sort of 'Lord of the Rings' tie-in.
That's enough. I'd give it -5 out of 10, and that's generous.
Don't even watch it on DVD.
It does have one use, I suppose, you could give it the DVD to your mother-in-law if you really hate her but don't have the guts for real revenge.
