A terrible movie by any measure. Direction and editing created immense stretches of shots that add to the already far too long play time. Although probably meant to give the illusion of a long travel, it rather cemented in reality how terribly far Devil's Revenge had to travel to be a good movie.
Extremely irritating plot holes that are left to fester for the entire movie, and plot pieces that seemingly had nothing to do with the main plot at all.
People are disappear and people just appear in the movie without any explanation whatsoever. We have time to explore caves and rivers, but no time to explore rationality. I suppose maybe transporters were used? Why not, if it is up to our imaginations and does not have to be rational: so be it.
Shatner has a strange rant that I replayed several times... and I still have no idea what he was going on about. He was passionate, and Kirk swears, which I thought was very funny! Other than that; I gave up trying to figure it out. I simply didn't actually care what his character was trying to convey with his fathers heirloom shotgun... that he keeps in a dirty stable.
Very flimsy plot pieces with flimsy connections throughout. White actors playing Aztecs? Aztecs with a shrine in a Kentucky cave system. Conquistadores... really?
Direction: I am not sure their was any direction. Yes, we did realize Jeri Ryan was driving in circles in a parking lot for an entire scene. Rather easily actually.
The best actor in this movie was the Recreational Vehicle. RV played such a convincing filthy and dilapidated Southwind that I nearly wept.
Even "Riff Trax" will probably pass on this movie... Shatner or not. You should too.
