Sahara

This is our favorite movie of all time.

One of my favorite movies! Plays great!

Breck Eisner’s 2005 film, “Sahara,” adapts the 1992 novel of the same name by Clive Cussler. In the story, Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey), Al Girodino (Steve Zahn), retired Admiral James Sandecker (William H. Macy), and retired Commander Rudi Gunn (Rainn Wilson) work for the NUMA organization to recover sunken antiquities and shipwrecks. While in Africa, Dirk starts looking for a Confederate ironclad that fled Virginia near the end of the Civil War laden down with gold and supposedly made it to West Africa. Along the way, they must help Dr. Eva Rojas (Penélope Cruz), a doctor with the WHO, who discovered what appears to be a plague spreading through the water in Mali. Her investigation raises the hackles of local warlord General Kazim (Lennie James) and Yves Massarde (Lambert Wilson), a businessman working with General Kazim, so Dirk and Al must postpone their search for the Confederate gold to help Dr. Rojas uncover the cause of the plague. The production on this film is wonderful, with great character development, tense action scenes, and some real comedy. It’s everything a movie viewer could want in an action flick. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there will be a sequel anytime soon, which is a pity as McConaughey, Zahn, and Macy make a good team.

Love this movie. Dirk dreams of fi nding the lost Confederate ship from the Civil War. He gets a hint of where it might be when the fifth gold sample coin shows up where they just retrieved the tomb of an African king from the sea. They get mixed up with a WHO doctor looking for the source of a new plague. Action, adventure and humor, a fun movie. Fun to watch over and over again.

I would have to say for a comedy it's okay. The action is pretty good except the violence was made PG when I was expecting something more; it was like, watching an Alfred Hitchcock movie where the violence is suppressed and inferred like shooting someone from around the corner where you would not see it but would hear the gun shot.I liked Mathew McConaughey for his acting, humor and actions. I really liked Penelope Cruz for her acting and her beauty, all the other actors I felt fell by the wayside. Yes some of the supporting actors where okay but not great, the good thing was that there poor acting skills did not effect the overall impression of the movie.The story was farfetched; but, since it a fiction action film, it doesn't matter, that is what artistic license is for, telling a story that has no facts in reality and you can go anywhere with it. Aside from the story line, I liked the movie in general, the scenes and the editing of the scenes made the movie more interesting and appealing; I only got board once, during the montage of the office with all the pictures; I literally moved the movie ahead a few frames to get past that boring part, after that everything was fine, the movie was well paced, kept me interested and entertained, I liked the interaction between the characters except for the part where Mathew, Penelope and Steven Zahn, are traveling across the desert and Penelope asks how the two know each other, why repeat what was shown in the montage at the beginning of the movie, seriously? Pretty lame.I give this movie four stars because of what I said previously. I would not pay money to see it in a theater but I would rent it like I did.

Decent movie packaged well.

DVD was in excellent, brand new condition.

We really like this movie, so we bought this Blu-ray to replace the DVD. It was a good price.

Excellent

and it functioned seemlessly! XD ok bye!

Terrific lively adventure. No complaints.

This film was never made keeping the Academy Awards in mind. Also, by sticking to two heroes & a heroine who don't exactly size up to the requirements of a dark and furiously action-packed thriller, the producers had deliberately made this a light adventure. But that's OK, and after watching the film with all its absurd narrative and convenient gloss-overs, you would feel exactly that: OK. However, considering the fact that this DVD is available at a ridiculous price, I would strongly recommend you to purchase the item. After all, even OK becomes damn good at such a price!
