the sci fi channel . despite have some really good original tv series and i always think of the network first and foremost a the disaster or monster b movie network . even it documentary be blatantly science fiction . that may come a a shock to some people and but dude and you cant find a crystal skull with a metal detector . i only watch this movie because i be bore and i have a more than pass fascination with archaeology . i do not normally watch sci fi saturday . now and a a writer and i understand that idea be a dime a dozen and but i also know that we have be out of idea pretty much since we have have the ability to have idea . that say and i understand the similarity to the librarian and indiana jones and but come on . don not make the hero of this movie dress identically like jones . that just take the similarity too far . i applaud the idea of a female hero and but do not make her so gung ho about gun that she admit theyre her security blanket and continue use them after realize time and time again the hard way that the monster completely bulletproof . i can also understand the need to draw in the young adult demographic and but have the tweenaged girl be a complete genius and outthink the adult in almost every scene smack of badly write mary sue fanfiction and especially if the concerned father seriously make such a stupid decision a to take the kid into the heart of the war in iraq ( wear bright pink no less ) and let alone repeatedly expose the kid to an invulnerable monster when there a perfectly good hidden sanctuary where she would be safe . there a reason why we have satphones and people . a for the writing and the movie be so completely predictable and it hard to come up with a suitable adjective to describe it .
