Alan Quartermain and the Lost City of Gold - 1/5

This is a high concept, low budget campfest that doesn’t have the wherewithal to pull it off. The plot is too weak to be interesting, the sets are almost as bad as the costumes. Even the lead actors don’t have the requisite on-screen chemistry to make it enjoyable. On paper, this movie is a bargain bin Indiana Jones, but in practice it’s a boring pablum that doesn’t even have the decency to be so bad that it’s funny.

Closest comparison: It’s like Indiana Jones made by The Asylum.

Setting: Adventure
Plot: Adventure
Tone: Adventure
