David McK (3721 KP) rated King Solomon's Mines in TV

Early 2000 - think it's 2004 - Hallmark tv movie starring Patrick Swayze as the African adventurer Allan Quartermain, who is hired by Elizabeth Maitland (Alison Doody) to help her find her father who has disappeared in Africa whilst searching for the legendary King Solomon's Mines.

It's been a while since I read the source novel, so I'm sure this takes more than a few liberties, however there are still elements that I remember from said source.

Basically, the entire thing feels Indiana Jones lite.

And that's not just because Alison Doody was one of the main characters in the Last Crusade.

The finale to B.K. Greenwood's 'The Last Roman' trilogy, bringing to a close (?) the story of the immortals Marcus, Isabella and Thomas first started in Exile, and continued in Abyss.

AS before, this is a mix of Highlander meets Jason Bourne (as I read a advert put it), jumping between the 'then' (pieces of the last 2000 years of history) and 'now', as Doyle and Thomas get nearer and nearer to triggering their end-game of the Apocalypse.

Yes, that Apocalypse.

So we've moved even further away from the initial set-up, more and more into the territory that came into prominence towards the end of Exile and more into the realms of the Supernatural (is that even the right word for it?).

Not, I want to make it clear, that that is any way a detriment to the work - I just want to be clear, from the outset, that that is the type of work you will be reading.

I did find this to be better than Abyss, but maybe not quite as good as Exile. I've also hear (read) that there are prequels stories - and, with a range of 2000 years, quite a scope of history for those to be set in - so, while I may read those I'm currently unsure whether I would purchase them or utilise Kindle Unlimited (if they are on that).

I watched this movie for the first time in over a decade last night and was saddened by just how bad it was. I knew that I was looking at the movie through rose tinted glasses and yet I was still shocked at just how embarrassingly bad this film is. If you remember watching this with a bunch of mates back in the early 2000's and laughing your head off, then that is probably the best way to remember it, don't re-watch it now with the context of better comedies that you have seen since or you will be sorely disappointed.
