Critics Consensus

Just ordinary. LXG is a great premise ruined by poor execution.

In 1899, the Fantom a terrorist, breaks into the Bank of England and steals Leonardo da Vinci's blueprints of Venice. He then kidnaps the world's most brilliant scientists and their families and forces them to create supernatural soldiers, spies, and assassins. His goal is to start a World War and then sell his creations to the highest bidder. "There is great unrest. Countries set at each other's throats, baying for blood. It's a powder-keg. The trouble of which I speak could set a match to the whole thing: War.... Everyone. A world war" - Sanderson Reed So the British Empire recruits a group of famous Sci-Fi/Fantasy figures bring them together to team up on a secret mission to stop the Fantom and a World War. This is a very unlikely group of misfit heroes - the hunter Allan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, a Vampire, Mina Harker, Invisible man Skinner, Dorian Gray, Dr Jekyll/Mr. Hyde and American agent Tom Sawyer.... and they have only four days to save the world. "The fate for the world is in our hands... the world! - Tom Sawyer "Then the game is on" - Quatermain I really like this movie! Not any of the modern CGI stuff, but I did not seem to care. This a really fun popcorn movie with some really cool stuff..... a super futuristic automobile, Nemo's submarine the Nautilus, a army of bats, a invisible man, and best of all..... Sean Connery! "Extraordinary gentleman indeed" - Quatermain Cast - Sean Connery, Richard Roxburgh, Shane West, Peta Wilson, Stuart Townsend, Tony Curran, Jason Flemyng, Naseeruddin Shah

It's big, silly, and entertaining, and even its most naked franchise ambitions feel fun rather than frustrating, because they're so blatant.

London Evening Standard

Sadly, the rot sets in just over the halfway mark when the action loses its identity of fustian heroism and degenerates into another arcade video game of mundane destruction. A pity.

Your enjoyment of this fascinatingly flawed action-adventure fantasy will come down to how far you are prepared to go along with its original and absolutely off-the-wall premise.
