Narrator: A long time ago, when mankind was still in its cradle, visitors came from the skies. They were called The Osiris. These gods gave us unimaginable gifts, the likes of which we had never dreamed of before - astronomy, architecture, culture - but all this came at a price. The Osiris wanted Earth for themselves. The pharaoh, the greatest man of all, together with the god of sunlight Ra, opposed this threat to their people. Just when the visitors prepared to summon their kin to come to Earth, an opportunity arising only once every 5000 years when the stars align in the right order, the pharaoh stole the light from The Osiris, blinding them with its brilliance, leaving them imprisoned in a dungeon hidden in the labyrinth below his pyramid; but, some still believed in the visitors' way and prepared for the time of their return - so did the princess Amanphur.

This pretends to be a mix of old time adventure and some meager sci-fi and it fails.
Acting is OK. There are no more damsels in distress than what is usual today - meaning none. Gender equality-wise, that's good! Women are quite capable by themselves and they really don't need men with hair on their chests to rescue them from anything.
There's no sex and no nudity - tends to get sort of awkward. Comforting! That means we're "down to some serious action". Ahem... Well...
The plot starts out OK, promising actually, but this production doesn't take off and doesn't deliver. It may be comforting to see old faces amongst all the new ones but wrinkles doesn't cut it.
There's neither hero nor heroine in this concoction.
The CGI is good, but with the software available today, who'd flunk it?
See it if you have to. But you don't, do you? No really!
