I was pretty good and even one the better Saturday night SciFi film. Of course it had Renee in it and also archeology (a subject I love) so I was inclined to like it. Having said that, Ren and her co-star Time DeKay were very good and had good chemistry. Now I do have criticisms, of course. I would have liked to have learned a bit more about Renee's and Tim's relationship - was it the accusation of the husbands infidelity or the wife's faith that broke up the marriage. Also at the end of the film Renee makes a reveal about herself that comes out of left field. Why wasn't this forshadowed in some way? Also the monster was terrible - - a Biblical monster should fly, have talons, look majestic - it is CGI, Scifi could have tried harder - sorry the talking termite in Alien Apocalypse was a better actor. Just because you have Rock Monster under contract doesn't mean you have to use him in every film. Also I think Ren could have had more to do - - when her husband was stuck in the tomb she should have tried harder to get to him - Gabby wouldn't have let just one burly soldier stop her from getting to Xena. Anyway I hope the film had good ratings (stiff completion with the Olympics) and Renee does more films for Scifi. Next week Renee is back with Boogeyman 2 on Scifi.
