    This epic starring martial arts specialist Steven Seagal bypassed British cinemas and video and went straight to satellite television. Seagal plays a rancher and doctor in Montana whose neighbour is a militant extremist with a biological weapon that threatens human existence on Earth. Seagal's peaceful, eco-friendly message sits beside a further message about native Americans and is sorted out with lashings of violence. The best thing about the picture is its magnificent landscapes, beautifully caught under the direction of Dean Semler, who was the Oscar-winning cameraman of Dances with Wolves.

    Steven Seagal to the Rescue

    Good film though I expected more martial arts scenes from Seagal.

    Sometimes legends last longer than Truth. I paraphrase, but that's more or less the first thing we hear from the narrator - Omar Sharif, no less - as we settle down with our popcorn. It's a tip that Roland Emmerich doesn't aspire to pre-historical accuracy, or perhaps a get-out clause to answer those pedants who complain that putting dinosaurs in the same time period as a certain landmark construction site on the Nile is quite a stretch. One of many in fact. Herr Emmerich is not in the reality Read more
