1. Quality

2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   Entirely serviceable entertainment for young boys, and those in touch with their inner boy.

   Note that I saw it as an airplane movie, so it was most assuredly not the 3D version. I bet it’d be a hoot and a half in 3D. But why stop there? The movie was clearly designed with a future theme park ride in mind as much as to how it would play on the silver screen.

4. Acting

   Good 3.0

   Brendan Frasier has become an Indiana Jones for the pre-pubescent set, starting off his movies as a professor who gets himself ensnared in some geological or archeological hokum before the popcorn gets cold. He needs to watch the copious self-deprecation though. It comes across a bit hammy.

8. Male Costars Good 3.0
