BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

leplatypus This isn't my movie but the movies of the kid because it's one of his DVDS. It's a pity that the disc doesn't include subtitles because I din't get the dialogs. Nevertheless, we had great time with this Indiana Jones / Tomb raider for kids. The young cast is sympathetic (the boy looks like a young John Cena) and Stacy Keach depicts with talent a sophisticated bad guy. But the real asset of this movie is that it has been shot live in Egypt and Cairo. Thus, you got amazing shots of the pyramids and you can feel the pulse of this great city and its inhabitants. For 2 hours you are gone in a exotic country with an ancestral culture and that's just fine.Not bad for a mere TV movie with no amazing stars from Hollywood!

whpeck This production, as with many having to do with ancient Egypt -tombs, treasure, etc.- relies heavily on authentic backgrounds and locations to bolster up weak plot, inept acting and lazy direction. It shares with "Death on the Nile" the technique of conflating locations. One minute the characters are at the pyramids at Giza and suddenly they are in Khan el Khali markets, half way across Cairo, or at Abu Simbel, Aswan, and Abu Simbel, all in the same sequence. It reminds me of one conversation in "Death on the Nile" where one character was in Luxor and the other in Aswan, a considerable distance away but cut so they spoke to each other. There is a light moment when Zaki Hawass, the noted Egyptian Egyptologist, then the director of the pyramids, plays himself. He is to be found often on the Discovery channel. I did enjoy seeing lots of familiar Egptian sights and sites, even if they were scrambled.

JULIEDAVEY If not a fan of Egypt then just enjoy this yarn. If you are a visitor, or like me a very frequent visitor, enjoy the story and especially the locations. You can smell and taste the captivating this most beautiful of countries.

lorenellroy This Hallmark movie is clearly aimed at a juvenile audience given that its main characters are teenaged Americans at loose in Egypt. John is there for a reuniting with his archaelogist father,where he meets Karen a keen Egyptologist.They are pitted against the unscrupulous Dr Bent,played by Stacy Keach with a wobbly English accent. Bent is seeking to exploit the discovery of a map pointing to the whereabouts of the tomb of Rameses the second ,which contains the key to treasure both temporal and spiritual. The sole asset of the picture is the striking location photography around the Pyramids and Aswan,and this helps offset poor effects and wretched script development ,which trades in insulting ethnic stereotypes Poor acting and I grow weary of the characterisation of the English as villains.
