Daniel S honestly, I came in with low expectations — turns out I wasn't being pessimistic enough. This movie is a mess. It's painfully predictable, except for a few moments that catch you off guard only because they make absolutely no sense. The plot is filled with unanswered questions that the writers clearly just gave up on. For most of the movie, they want you to believe the ship is causing some deadly plague — calling it the “Ship of Death” — and then suddenly (spoiler!) it’s just a toxic waste plant. What?! How does a massive ironclad warship end up in Africa? Why is it there? They ask these questions throughout the movie and never give a single coherent answer. It’s infuriating. And don’t even get me started on the characters. The whole setup is a recycled formula: the “cool” hero, his comic relief sidekick, and of course, the attractive love interest. That’s it. Zero originality. Honestly, I’m shocked that any A-list actor even signed up for this disaster — the script is absolute garbage. I left the theater feeling frustrated, not entertained. What a waste of potential. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Alan M A simple movie to follow with a lot of action and non stop humour. Lots of unbelievable coincidences but heck totally enjoyable for the whole family. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Nathaniel T “Preposterous” and “mindless” it may be, but it’s also a load of fun and a great comfort watch. One of those movies I think of every now and again and love to throw on, and it never fails to entertain as long as you don’t take the film any more seriously than it takes itself. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review mark g I mean, entertaining enough, great locales. You see the big budget throughout film. Good enough acting. Some eyestrain material though. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Thorsten S Absolutely enjoyed the movie - never really understood the bad reviews - it’s an adventure movie …great setting . Love the cast . Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Ashley C This movie is the BOMB! You know - because it BOMBED! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Anyway, the plot should've been an adventurer in West Africa looking for something REALLY valuable: You know - like a PLOT! Instead we get a preposterous storyline that expects the audience to suspend disbelief while accepting Hollywood's version of a "noble" group of "adventurers" who plunge headlong into mortal danger (a war zone, no less) so that they can trace the source of a plague. Never mind the fact that there is no plague. Never mind - also - the fact that the main reason for the film's existence is to see the main character follow the clues that lead to a fabulous cache of wealth and riches. A treasure that - by the way - we see at the end of the film is left (unsecured and unguarded, of course) in a dusty cave in the middle of the West African desert! "Oh, look! Here's a cave! Let's leave this fabulous treasure here (because of course it'll be totally fine) so that I can get some much needed downtime with the super hot scientist whose life I've spent half the film saving!" The only thing more ridiculous than the script of this movie is the fact that there's still people who wonder why a sequel was never made. Why did this review come with a 4.5 star rating? 2 words. Penelope Cruz. 'Nuff said. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
