Quite good!

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2016)

Oh, I am some 17 years late on viewing this film but even after all this time I can say that the film does not look dated. It is very entertaining. The story is simple and follows chronologically the chase for the lost city / artifacts.
As for the special effects... again, though the film is old I do not think that the effects seem dated as many people complain about in some older films in comparison with new ones and more advanced technology. However, some effects did remind me of the film Terminator and some scenes of Michael Jackson's Thriller video.
As a lover of Egypt - especially ancient Egypt and as I returned from there a month ago - I enjoyed the film very much. I guess if you could look at all the things that are 'egyptian' with inscriptions and statues and figures... it may not be very accurate, but if you just look for entertainment - this film is great! Not boring and fast paced!
I don't know where it was filmed, but I thing some scenes are shot in Morocco. Maybe I am wrong.
Quite good, all in all. Eight from me!
