i be notorious amongst my friend concern my leniency towards the plethora of indiana jones rip offs that swamp and in the uk at least and the home video market but even i struggle to find much good to say about this slice of high adventure hokum . the beginning and a point out by another reviewer and do hold some promise with a sequence in the bermuda triangle which in this movie isn not really too close to bermuda but we be give hint of a slightly more intelligent fun film than we be eventually give . in the bizarre dimension our hero and his motley crew find the ship use in the infamous philadelphia experiment and this in itself hint that the movie be go to have some geek chic . however and once they leave the mysterious unexplained dimension the movie plummet downhill fast than indy in a rubber raft . it become a lazy collection of uninspired and misjudge scene that vary between bland and just plain annoy . a low budget truck chase and follow by some badly and uninvolving fight follow by some admittedly quite pretty fly montage . these be mixed with some unexplained supernatural hokum and sequence that imply that the crew forget to switch the camera on at time . the prime example of this be the sequence where lt. bomber harris be be attack by a shark whilst dive be follow by a sub indy sequence where he be hang onto the side of the plane a the villain fly off no explanation to where the shark be or how he get his heavy leather fly jacket back a i be sure that it wasn not under his diving suit . i be sure that the finale wasn not just an excuse to blow 100 australian dollar on special effect and serve a purpose but do not ask me what that might have be . the filmmaker seem to assume that they can get away with the same level of suspension of disbelief that spielberg get away with in raider and temple of doom but that have to be earn . it not the genre it the style with which it be do audience will watch indy climb onto a submarine and still be on it hour later because the care about indy and be engage by the film . sky pirate have not get that style or panache so we will never be on it side . couple this bad film make with some awful act from max phipps ( best know by genre fan for his role in mad max 2 ) and a heroine that echo melody anderson insipid turn in flash gordon play by meredith philip and prolific australian actor john hargreaves . to be fair the cast be not give much to work with when the scriptwriter blatantly copy dialogue from dirty harry movie and write one liner that be to humour what an elephant be to skateboard . example _ harris rescue the heroine who have be tie up in a truck with the bond style one liner of i do not know you be into bondage . if you watch this film be assure your side will be safe from any form of split incident . so terrible script and lazy and often embarrassed performance and appal direction be there anything of merit in this film . not much . brian may score isn not bad it derivative sure but it do with a certain amount of panache . hargreaves and a prolific and talented actor have enough rugged charisma to be watchable but it do make me wish that he have be in a good film than this a he would have make a tremendous pulp style action hero . when all be say and do i wouldn not watch this film for whatever reason a it isn not painful it just bore .
