The movie is very boring. A talking gorilla is pretty cool. I actually was about to shut the movie off cause it was that boring. Then all of a sudden the movie took a awesome turn at the end. It went from a family friendly boring movie to a horror show. ...

Now I'm usually a fan of Tim Curry but quite what he is doing in this rather weak and feeble hybrid of "Tarzan" meets "King Solomon's Mines" is anyone's guess. It's all about the search for a lost expedition that was being led by the son of an American industrialist who was seeking diamonds large en ... ough to power a laser (ostensibly for communications purposes, but who really knows?). Anyway, they disappear so it falls to Curry and Laura Linney's "Dr. Rees" to follow the sagely guidance of the Quatermain-esque "Kelly" (Ernie Hudson) deep into the hostile terrain of the jungle. It's got just about everything required to make it flop, this film. Terrible acting, even worse dialogue - and that's just from the chatty gorilla that all too often saves the day - and some very cheap and cheerful CGI that merely serves to showcase the poor nature of this derivative and rather unremarkable effort. Curry ("Homolka") is just not at the races here and Linney brings very little by way of gravitas or to her over-scripted role neither. It's rated 12 - but perhaps that's referring to the maximum IQ of anyone whom they are hoping will watch? I wouldn't bother if I were you.
