Good enough until a Blu-ray comes along.

Love this movie and its story. This 2008 DVD is a repackage of the 1999 disc, but it's not all that bad. The anamorphic transfer is entirely watchable even by today's standards; there's some not-too-distracting MPEG noise and the film looks aged. Colors are vibrant. A pefectly acceptable placeholder in your library until a Blu-ray hits with a pristine transfer. I'm not holding my breath but I'll be in the store when one streets.

Good example of how even a great actor can't make every good

Watched this movie some time ago and now I have an appreciation as to what a bad movie really is. Harrison Ford has shown that he really has talent and dedication halfway through the production of this movie he had to know how embarrassing this movie would be for his career all in all it is a good contrast point of bad movies.

an interesting movie: a personal apocalyptic
Added 6/22/2009
An inventor and his family move to central America where they buy a town.
The inventor sees himself as a sort of missionary
of science and technology to the jungle.
There is a sub-theme of religion established when a Baltimore missionary family are on the boat with them.
The ultimate failure of his Utopian jungle plans comes about in a strange apocalyptic way. Past the late 80's the fear of an atomic wars has diminished, but most of us grew up with the bombers and WWIII hanging over our head. Some people actually moved to Mexico as a result in my area.
The idea of central and south America as an alternative might have been the motive of this film: the contrast in civilization
with literally untamed jungle is brought out.
The ending of this film is not what you would call "happy".
