Is there a plot here? Anywhere? Maybe under all that sand over there . . . (3/10)

Rating: 3/10 (6 May 2002)

[I saw this on network TV, YMMV]
Well, I've seen worse (Batman and Robin and Lost in Space come to mind), but this was pretty bad.
Here is a scene that tells you all you need to know: The good guys need a plane to get back to the bad guy's hideout. They happen to find some fat Brit with an RAF biplane to help them out. Two good guys can't fit so they are tied on the end of the plane. A boatload of special effects later, the bad guy causes the plane to crash. Who survives? All of the good guys (even those strapped to the wings). Who dies? The fat Brit (the only one strapped into a seat).
The plot is nonexistant. The story is a bad guy comes back to life, steals the girl, and the good guys rescue the girl. THAT'S IT. NO MORE. Fifth graders can write better than this. The movie makers rely on a ton of ho-hum special effects to fill in all the dead time.
This movie is not funny, not scary, does not have ground-breaking special effects, and was just a waste of time and money.
