SAHARA REVIEW

I have read Clive Cussler's Book Sahara and as usual it was a great book. As you can see I am a big fan. If a book appears on the shelf with Clive Cussler or even NUMA files - It is immediately bought. I saw the film Sahara - What a dissapointment. The actors were very much less than convincing. The thread of the book was totally lost in the movie. Somewhere so was Abraham Lincoln. The story plot was very much lost and re-written in the movie. If I were Clive Cussler and wrote this book and then saw the movie - I don't think I would recognize it as the same thing. In my final opinion movie very poorly done. Wrong actors to play the parts and plot so re-written. July 21, 2008

Just so - so.

Sahara tries to be an Indiana Jones flick but fails miserable.
The adventure across the sands.............BORING!!!
The damsel in distress.................BORING!!!
The usual Hollywood nonsense movie that they were hoping would turn into a new franchise............NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!!
It's an OK action adventure; it's just not very memorable or very much fun.
The acting is passable; the script is just kind of blah.
All in all, it's worth a rental if you can't find anything else to rent.
Recommended? Not really.
But if you're curious, sure go for it.

It started with a bang and ended with a thud.

It started with a bang and ended with a thud. The majority of the scenery and the action scenes are jaw dropping. However the movie goes from bad to worse after 30 minutes. It's because of the plot and the directing I think. June 9, 2008

Recieved the item in a very timely manner and the movie played just fine. Can't beat the price. May 28, 2008

I'VE SEEN BETTER - REVIEW EDITED

I love Indiana Jones, action adventure type movies, but I just could not get into Sahara. Maybe it was too predictable? Maybe it was too slow - I actually fast forwarded through most of it. Maybe I'm just tired of watching Penelope Cruz. I don't know. But I would pass on this one. There are better movies out there to be found and enjoyed. - OK, SO SOME TIME HAS GONE BY AND I ACTUALLY ENJOY THE MOVIE MORE NOW. IF I'M EATING DINNER OR SOMETHING I'LL JUST FASTFORWARD TO THE PARTS OF THE MOVIE I ENJOYED. I GUESS THAT QUALIFIES IT AS A 3 STAR, BUT I CAN'T CHANGE THAT. May 21, 2008
