i would give this film a zero if i could . how anyone could rate it any high be beyond me . until i saw rollerball and this be my pick for worst film ever from a major studio with a real budget ( claim mangler 2 or leprechaun in the hood a the bad ever isn not really say much and those be suppose to be bad ) tim curry mom must have need surgery or something for him to agree to this non sensical garbage . i be really not sure what happen here . the novel be great and the director frank marshall have a solid track record with alive and arachnophobia ( perhaps they should have change the title to africa ) and the cast be good and the budget be there . you would think someone would have bother to read the script . you would be good off watch battlefield represent earth again than waste your time with . congo make you long for the return of mst3k .
