There’s plenty of action in this film for those who enjoy their movies moving along at the speed of light. And yet it slows down long enough here and there to concentrate on the troubles brewing between explorer Rick O’Connell (Brendan Fraser) and his son Alex, played by Luke Ford. Alex is a chip off the old block, which means he is headstrong and stubborn just like his father. Wife and mother Evelyn (Maria Bello) helps keep them communicating, if only a little at times. The story opens in England in 1946.

Unfortunately, the violence is a bit over the edge for Dove to award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to the picture as a family-friendly film. This is an intense film which also includes an implied sexual scene between an unmarried couple. Also please note below in our content listing under “Other” that there is strong sorcery displayed in the film.
