Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This is high-carb filmmaking at its finest.

rotten:
Other than Dennis Quaid, none of these characters leaves so much as a footprint in the sand. We don't know them. We don't care about them.

The wonderful character actors in the original ... are succeeded by a fairly anonymous bunch.

By film's end the adventure appears less a matter of base survival than a beach barbecue gone slightly sour.

In the end, it may be that man against sand isn't as thrilling as it was back in the day.
