My Thoughts:
I got this one 4 years ago in a bulk package of used DVDs at a local store. I paid a mere 88 cents each for the films that were bulked packaged together. It is one I never seen before but I thougght looked interesting from the trailer. It has a couple familiar faces in it. Lance Henriksen is in this one... who is a very good genre actor. I been a fan for years. Then there is Mercedes McNab who played Harmony in Buffy the Vamprie Slayer and Angel. And then finally there was Tony Todd... who is another great genre actor... I found I have always enjoyed his work. At about 30 minutes into the movie I started to worry... as I was javing difficulty getting into the movie... some reason I was expecting more. An hour in and while I felt it improved a little... I still wasn't all that impressed. I found the storyline just couldn't keep my attention. The effects was no more then fair. This is one I unfortunately just can't recommend.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

A fun adventure movie. Although 10 years old now, the special effects still hold up. This is not for granted with CGI heavy movies nowadays.
