I normally don't go for these no-brainer action flicks, but once I received 2 passes to the advance screening in Vancouver, I thought 'Ahhh, who knows - there might be some decent special effects and kickass sound... I mean, it *is* basically 'The Mummy 3' right?'.
Oh.....dear......Lord...! Instead, I got to witness one of the most dull, unoriginal, overacted pieces of cinema filth ever created. I'm sorry if I sound harsh (gee, do I?!) but I was so upset that I wasted $7 in public transit fare to get to the theatre and back.
I'm just going to quickly spout off here. 1) The fire ants looked like CGI from the early 90's. Weak! 2) Gratuitous use of everyone's favourite 'Sckhgghtcchh' sound whenever someone gets stabbed. It got tiring after the first few deaths. 3) This movie had absolutely NO innovative ideas whatsoever. I spent the first 5 minutes figuring out how the rest of the movie was going to go. I wasn't far off...
Bah! I was hoping that I'd at least be able to laugh at this movie, but it was *so* bad that I sat there, writhing and twisting and groaning in my seat, anxious for the ending. When it came, the entire audience let out a sigh of relief, and piled out of the theatre. I overhead this comment:
"Well, he's a better actor than Hulk Hogan." "Ah, that doesn't say too much though".
Mmm, true.
