Interesting premise that falls short. It starts out well enough, but then falls prey to familiar cinematic tropes: Betrayed by the close companion, corrupt hired hand, lead characters fall in love, core characters happy in the end. Yawn.
I was never quite sure if this was intended to be an action-adventuure or horror flick, though perhaps that is due to the language barrier, the film being Norwegian.
The oh-so-predictable plot seems so familiar because it is. It borrows from several better (some only slightly) films: Jurassic Park I and III, and National Treasure
Positives: beautiful scenery, fine camera work, convincing actors, nd attractive male leads
Negatives: predictable and familiar plot, archetype characters, predictable character fate,
