Absolute pap.

Well, it started quite well (although the special effects are clearly computer generated from the start) but, as others have said, quickly went downhill. You can find no compassion for any of the characters and rapidly give up trying to follow a plot which, you suspect, is being made up as it goes along. All the bit-part characters seem ludicrous and unbelievable - take the London newspaper salesman who carries a handgun in his jacket for an example!

And back to the 'special' effects. The mummy at the end looks like a man in a rubber-suit - that's when he doesn't look like a badly-drawn computer image. Unfortunately, the film's attempt to use lots of effects is to it's detriment - rather it should have put some more time into plotting a coherent story.

Oh, and there are at least two scenes blatantly ripped out of Aliens...

Miss it.
