I'm not the type of viewer who admires B movies for their B-movie qualities, but at the same time, I'm not the type to discard a film just because it was directed by someone who was once considered the worst director of our time. I, too, expected an unwatchable waste of time, but within the context of an easy flick for a single viewing, I was perhaps even satisfied. Despite not having played the video game adaptation, I am still surprised by the mediocre ratings in deep dark numbers. Is the film really worse than the abominations of the "action, archeology, digital monsters" subgenre, such as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life that came before it? Hard to say. But for me, out of the entire critical period when Uwe Boll almost gleefully immersed himself in the world of video games, Edward Carnby's adventure clearly remains the lesser evil.

A crude action flick with helicopters and a Hummer!

You can survive it, but Uwe Boll has plenty of nonsense to offer. Wherever you look, it squeaks. The action is bad, technically very variable, sketchy and confusing in terms of plot, with practically no tension, and it basically resembles a thoroughbred made-for-TV movie. What were the intentions with this travesty is a mystery to me, but it is a well-deserved failure. Christian Slater lacks the much-needed charisma, and even though Tara Reid is quite attractive, her acting is pretty poor. The worst part, however, is the fact that it presents itself as a deadly serious action film, when in reality it's completely the opposite. Truly difficult to watch, and I only recommend it in case of an extremely strong sense of boredom.
