Sinopsis(1)
El famoso vaquero Frank T. Hopkins (Mortensen) va a participar en una peligrosa carrera: "Océanos de Fuego", con su caballo Hidalgo. Juntos, deben sobrevivir en esta competición de 3.000 millas de recorrido por el inhóspito desierto de Arabia; además de vencer a otros competidores que quieren ganar a cualquier precio. Presencia una gigantesca tormenta de arena, una plaga de langostas masiva que oculta el sol, trampas mortales que desafían a la imaginación. (Buena Vista International Spain)

Unas cuantas escenas de acción técnicamente sofisticadas se equilibran con unas cuantas escenas poéticas repulsivamente kitsch. Y las mejores partes del guión, en las que ocurre algo interesante, se equilibran con digresiones innecesarias que no hacen más que ralentizar toda la película. La carrera en sí acaba cubriendo apenas un tercio de la película. Viggo Mortensen está bien aquí, pero no es genial.

A naive adventure film of the old school. It reminded me a lot of the May films from Arabia, but with a more generous budget. The cinematography and production design are good, the digital effects and the script not so much. The rest (i.e. the whole lot) is a grey, bland average.

A classic adventure template in a striking and, to my great joy, irresistible packaging. Viggo Mortensen in a hat and on a horse, a beautiful princess, cunning enemies, unexpected friends, and sandy mountains. In the end, it could be a disappointment or a middling film for the average viewer, but for me, it's a soothing balm for the soul. That's how Kara Ben Nemsi could have turned out if Harald Reinl had caught him a long time ago the way he did the classic Winnetou films.

A typical example of an average big-budget film. There’s not much going on other than a few action scenes, a bit of romance, a few nice shots of the desert at sunset. You can really feel the smell of Hollywood's commercialism here.

I actually liked it. The beauty of the desert captured by beautiful cinematography, beautiful animals, beautiful music… Yeah, a lot of beautiful things. Plus a likeable cast and a script that, although clichéd, is at least suspenseful. Another pop-corn flick by Johnson.

Viggo Mortensen is great even in this adventure film, which could almost evoke some of those old good stories from the turn of the century. It has all the qualifications: Interesting locations, quite good characters, and competitiveness. However, even from this cocktail, they failed to squeeze out something substantial, and the right atmosphere simply didn't resonate with me.
