Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Chai Mason I've had my fair share of deliberately exposing myself to awful films with my film student friends in college in the nineties but this was RIDICULOUS! I can't even be bothered to say anything insulting about it, it was so befuddlingly bad. I mean - it was BAD. Not bad meaning good but bad meaning bad. All I can say is I'm glad I bittorrented it and didn't buy it or even waste time watching it on TV. I watched it in two sittings (the first one I fell asleep and I was sitting on a swivel chair). Gladly, spawnyjoe, zipper69, and JL have outlined the main aspects of awfulness so I needn't revisit them again. I suppose as an excuse it WAS made for an American audience, and indeed the performances weren't even up to the standard of bad UK TV, they were more like performances of westerners in an 80s HK film like Jackie chan (who usually seem to just be extreme sports guys or random English teachers or porn stars or something). I guess you can't blame the actors for this, the script sucked and the director was clearly out to lunch. The setpieces looked like they were made in the Blue Peter studio at the BBC. The explosions were OK though and the soundtrack was pretty good too - for that alone it gets two stars instead of one. It's a shame because I remember the series being pretty good - but then I was about twelve when I last watched it. Stay away from this at all costs and trust me, the time reading one of these reviews which save you from the time wasted watching the film is time well spent.

spawnyjoe This film is the baseline rating for how bad a film can be. The "wonderful" set allows us to see all of Battersea power station, London, AND the associated gas-holders in the background of a "Balkan" stockade.Brian Blessed performs his usual overly camp rendition of an Englishman for the piece - becoming the baddie at the end in a plot line you could see from the moment he positioned his overly bearded face in front of the camera lens.However, the best moment in this film is saved until the very end. Macgyver WITH HIS OWN TWO EYES witnesses all the planets in our solar system INCLUDING PLUTO move into line. Ludicrous, purely and simply ludicrous.At no single point can this film create any form of suspense or thrill, I was left to amuse myself at Richard Dean Anderson trying to act seriously.

michaelrustage I loved the MacGyver TV series and I also loved this MacGyver movie even though most people pick on it. It may not be 100% brilliant but it's great fun and has all the elements that made the TV show so great. Sadly, MacGyver is the only character from the TV show to appear in this movie. He teams up with Brian Blessed who I have always found amusing because of his booming voice and over acting. They go off to find the Lost treasure of Atlantis which nobody else believes exists. There is plenty of action and MacGyver as usual has to build things out of nothing to get them out of various pickles. The only thing that spoils this movie is the sets. The caves especially. They look like they've been built for a children's school play, but if you ignore that, you have a brilliant movie.

modius Sunday movie made for TV film with Anderson reprising MacGyver who must find Atlantis, for some reason, and gets involved with serbs who hide out in Battersby Power Station and Brian Blessard overusing his loud voice in EVERY scene.The plot is horrible, the film is horrible, the action is non-existant and the whole thing sticks of Indiana Jones without the fun, adventure or indeed Dr Jones himself.Probably made as a cash-in on the Amiga/PC Indiana Jones Game "Fate of Atlantis", it finds MacGyver finding atlantis and its plantium computer...or something.Its bad. And so is MacGyver's Mullet.
