Oh yeah, this movie is in contention for the coveted "Worst Movie Of All Time". It can't replace "Plan Nine From Outer Space" in that number one position but it comes in darn close. The acting is atrocious, the special effects don't deserve to be called "special", and the screenplay is a disaster. Anybody pick up the back and forth running done by everyone while underground under the sand (which seemed to go on forever)? What they did repeatedly was to reverse the image to make it look as if it were another part of the underground caverns (notice the items on the belts of the soldiers and how they switch sides). They even did this once to the path behind the house leading to the noisy sand (fence on the left of the path, then fence on the right). Speaking of that sound when the sand was opening, yeah, that was really, really scary (rolling eyes). It was made by a choir! I could go on and on about the plot and dialog but I'll just say that if you're really desperate for a sci-fi flick, try something else first.
