I didn't really appreciate this wonderful homage to vintage
B-adventure and sci-fi films when it came out in 2004. But now I think it’s
rather wonderful actually.
A reviewer at Rotten Tomatoes commented that it takes all
the elements of 1930's films: '...giant robots, mad scientists, valleys hiding
forgotten kingdoms, secret islands with dinosaurs and rocket launch bases, and
creates the funniest adventure Indiana Jones never had.'
Also a sobering article on how the two incredibly gifted guys behind the film
paved the way for contemporary CGI - only to be blanked by the Hollywood in-crowd and never made another film since!
