Like a dumb version of "Raiders of the lost Ark"

Rating: 6/10 (16 October 1999)

I really think they should've gone with a PG rating and marketed this movie exclusively to children. For anyone with the slightest hint of intelligence, this flick is something to laugh at. The story and script seemed to be fresh from the pen of a ten year old. From beginning to end, it's just one cliche after another... The same characters you've seen a million times, spewing the same tired dialogue you've heard a million times, in the same predictable situations you've seen a million times. And if thats not bad enough, the viewer is constantly being bombarded by cheesey computer effects that are too fake looking to be frightening (the scarab beetles in particular were very poorly done). It's not all bad though; the last half hour or so had some pretty cool action sequences.. but that far from makes up for the overall cornyness of the rest of the movie.
