The best indication I can give you on how good this movie is, was that it took only 30 minutes, before several people in the audience, were fast asleep, snoring louder then the dismal droning voiceovers that held this loose "POS", together.

I can honestly say that the script may have exceeded 15 pages but no more then 20.

At the two hour mark I visualized myself as one of the Executives that put the financing up for this trash and wondered where my gun was so I could put myself out of my misery.

When Christian Bale started with the voiceover I had to put my fist in my mouth to stifle my screams.

There is no acting in this slide show. The closet thing you get to acting comes from Colin Ferrall's Large bushey eyebrows, frozen in a frown while his voice dribbles over .

I was looking forward to a tight accurate exciting and riveting portrayal of the Discovery of the Americas.
With Wes Studi in the cast I had hoped it might broach the level of filmmaking that "Last of the Mohicans" starring Wes and Daniel Day Lewis had achieved. Boy was I wrong on this one!!! This gets no rating at all .It is an offensive use of millions of dollars. Everyone that gave the go ahead on this film should be ashamed of themselves.
Grade 0
