Top positive review

Current Rating of 2 stars does not do it justice. A pretty solid B movie.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 October 2020

So, for clarity, this is a B movie. Its kinda cheesy, and low budget. You can see where the editors have worked really hard to cut shots together to try and create suspense and it really doesn't quite work.
The storyline is pretty solid. the writing is fair. the FX are typically low budget as would be expected. (but better than you may expect)
The props and costumes department did a pretty amazing job, and the acting is pretty solid as well.

If you are looking for a rainy sunday afternon monster movie, there are far worse ones out there to choose from.

Deeply truly badly terrible

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2020

Quite astonishingly worse than even the most cheesy low-budget TV series.
Oddly, there's a half-decent Indiana Jones-type film in here, with decent dialogue and a reasonably turn by Michael Shanks, but it's entirely let down by the rubbish production values and definitely dodgy FX. In fact, this feels like a rough cut of the film, with first-pass FX, rather than a finished item.

Having said that, it's fairly harmless and it wasn't so bad that we actually stopped watching it. If you think of it as a tribute to a Harryhausen monster movie, then it's actually bearable.
2/10

It was close to semi decent but huge plot holes and naff CGI threw this under the bus. I'm going to be kind and say the cast had upcoming mortgage payments to make.

Some decent reputations as actors really badly hit here, why did they do this film, awful filming, script and special effects. A "B" movie? maybe a "C"

She only got a role because of her hubby.
Anyway, the movie slightly shows they try hard to make a good one but the "train derailed". 2/10

It’s a period piece, I found that amusing. But the plot, not so much. If there was any treasure I didn’t see it. Just a lot of heartless people with ulterior motives. There was blood, almost gore…more gore might have helped. Otherwise, it was a bit listless. No adventure that I could detect. The acting was interesting. According to the ‘making of’ interviews, the actors had a lot of fun making this movie. I wish I could have had some of that fun watching it.

I got this DVD not knowing it was a TV movie

I'm a fan of Michael Shanks and Shannen Doherty. The film was listed as 'unrated' and seemed to me to have potential for some bawdy antics from Heather Doerksen. Out in the middle of the Grand Canyon landscape anything can happen. Maybe even the feared monster could manage something like ripping a blouse or something. But none of that takes place, and the movie disappointed me because Shannen Doherty is so tame and conservative. Her 90210 acting gave me some hope she wouldn't be so victorian in her attire, and Shannen played in Hell on Heels as well as in Charmed with a lot more sexual energy. Michael Shanks was throttled back in potential too, and I think the emphasis was meant to fall more upon the savage tribe of lost Inca/Aztec type people, and if Michael Shanks wasn't in it, I'd have tossed this one into the garbage bin - too ashamed to give it away. This kind of movie is why adventure films typically get passed over - they NEED to be passed over. Boo and hiss. Don't buy this unless you just don't have anything else better to watch on the cartoon channel.
