About
If you enjoy classic myth-based adventure with a steady stream of creature encounters and old-school charm, this should hit the spot; Not for you if you need deep character drama or modern effects like in Journey to the Center of the Earth.
Pros: imaginative monsters; brisk episodic thrills; nostalgic fantasy fun | Cons: thin character depth; uneven acting; abrupt feeling ending
