... unlike Sahara, which doesn't have any realism at all to it - even if that seems to be what the filmmakers were aiming for.
Based on a Clive Cussler novel, Sahara is all about the explorer Dirk Pitt (McConaughey), who is trying to find a lost battleship, but ends up helping out a WHO doctor (Cruz) who has to save the world from an evil dictator. See, even the plot sounds utterly ludicrous. This is the stuff of cartoon fantasy films, not action adventure movies. Sahara has all the allure of a James Bond movie, but just ends up being ridiculous.
The result of all this is complete and utter nonsense. By trying to set the movie in the real world, all Sahara achieves is a level of immense stupidity.
Rating: 2 out of 5
