In general it isn't a great movie, but I was in for a popcorn movie and it delivers. The cast is the best part, everybody seems like they were having fun. I like that the villain isn't just midlessly moustache twirling evil for the sake of being evil, just ammoral and in the end all out for himself.The sequences in the water are a welcome novelty. I know there's one in JPIII but the ones here are the right amount of action and danger factor. Now stuff I didn't like. <s>Vazquez</s> I mean Nina's death feels too gratuitous. Not against having a female red shirt die, but from the very first moment she appears o -screen she gets a giant "I'm not going to survive" bilboard over her head, and the men go out basically fighting while she's just taken out randomly and in a less dignified way. The mutants feel superfluous. Just there for the marketing when a TRex and raptors would have made the trick. But hey they gotta sell toys.The final twist at the end, priceless.It isn't Aztec-style. It is Mayan-like. The iconography is elaborate and the snake head looks like the ones in Chichen Itza. I'm not aware of Mayan temples built on the side of a mountain though.</blockquote>
