This is just a watered down version of the 1999 movie


If you haven't seen the 1999 movie version then check it out. This movie was almost 3 hours long and well worth the time: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200755/

I was so disappointed when seeing this one. I thought that they may have gotten creative and tried another storyline, but no, they just captured the 1999 version storyline and just made it shorter and less involving.

I so loved the original with the finding of the lost city of Atlantis and the giant mushrooms gradually growing from tiny ones. I loved that idea and the redo in 1999 really wasn't that bad at all, but I don't understand why they even made this one. No new storyline direction, nothing really thrilling at all. I would have to say as a fan, I was pretty peeved on this one.

I would agree. See the one with Pat Boone. It was entertaining, as was the one with Treat from Everwood. This film did not entertain at all. Special effects were only so-so.
