Movie Reviews of Sahara (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Good for a cold winter day
Summary: 3 Stars
Not fully engaging, but pleasant to watch. Alot of sunshine in this film. Great locations, passable but not inspiring direction, likeable but watered-down characters, action is OK, not particularly thrilling. Thought this film would suck, got it on a whim at Megalo-Mart for $[...]. Light-weight, but still enjoyed it, will watch again someday. Good for a stay at home date when it's freezing outside and you want to curl up with your sweetie.
Summary of Sahara (Full Screen Edition)
In the scorching desert dirk pitt uncovers the truth behind his lifelong quest - the fate of a civil war ironclad. Now amidst the blazing shifting sands of the sahara dirk pitt will make a desperate stand - in a battle the world cannot afford to lose! Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 08/21/2007 Starring: Matthew Mcconaughey Steve Zahn Rating: Pg13It took more than 25 years for another Clive Cussler novel to come to the screen after the financial and critical disaster of Raise the Titanic. Based on Cussler's oddly landlocked adventure, Sahara finds the author's hero, Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey)--a sort of all-American, high seas variation of James Bond--in Africa looking for a Confederate ironclad ship that impossibly might have ended up there. Soon he and his faithful sidekick Al Giordino (Steve Zahn) are lost in another adventure, discovering a deadly contaminate being tracked by a beautiful doctor (Penelope Cruz). The results are checkered: there's no one outstanding sequence, but the action is enjoyably varied, while the thrills are mild yet not bombastic or gratuitous. The cast are all adept in their roles, yet the only one who sparkles is the scene-stealing Zahn, cast against type; McConaughey, who also produced, knows he might be starting a franchise character and plays it safe. He's never as dangerous as Cussler's hero is on the page (except in his introduction), and in fact, the whole movie plays towards comedy, infused by a soundtrack of 70s FM radio monsters. Cussler fanatics may not like this lighter fare, especially with the archeological portion (a Cussler strong point) not fully embraced, but with a very, very likable cast and colorful settings, Sahara is a kindler, gentler action film that has all the elements in place for a better, more memorable franchise if anyone cares to attempt it. --Doug Thomas
