Just watched this movie last night.
When we picked this up, I was anticipating similar cinematic effects as The Day After Tomorrow… I was very wrong.
First half of the movie was really slow. Too much talking. Tacky acting skills. A golden crucifix afixed on the wall inside a Maya temple alleged to be over 3000 years old??!? That’s just so chronologically incorrect. (Note that crucifix refers to a cross with a representation of Jesus’ body.)
At each change of scene towards the middle of the movie, we noticed the constant questioning of faith by a certain agnosticistic spur followed by an reassurance of “salvation through Christ and eventual redemption in an afterlife”... Huh?
