They fled the destruction of their society at the hands of Spanish Conquistadors, set up new quarters inside secret chambers within the Grand Canyon of Arizona, and continue to do what the screenwriter believes Aztecs did best: human sacrifice. They’ll find the last remnants of Aztec society: some that look the proper ethnicity, some the whitest Aztecs ever seen, some looking all buff like Aztec “American Gladiators”, and some wearing flip flops. So like, uh, do they think the bats discovered fire and learned out hot make torches or what?
#LOST CAVES IN THE GRAND CANYON MOVIE#
This will involve unfathomable amounts of cave walking, surviving booby traps galore, more cave walking, and, eventually, encountering a lost civilization, leading to yet more cave walking.īest moment of the movie is when one of the researchers comments that they think they’re the first people to set foot within these caves in hundreds of years despite these caves be adorned with lit torches. She, along with another group of researchers led by “Stargate SG-1″‘s Michael Shanks, venture off in search of the lost explorers. Set in the 19th century, Shannen Doherty – yes, it has come to this for her – stars as the daughter of a researcher who went missing exploring remote caves within the Grand Canyon.
Had they done so there would have at least been something that held my attention if ever so briefly. Sort of like a “Boomer” from the game Left 4 Dead, only a horde of Aztecs then did not immediately descend upon the slimed. This Quetzalcoatl also has a nasty habit of puking slime on its victims before killing them. Nothing beats having a winged monster that spends the majority of its time prowling caves walking on two legs like a minotaur. This is a monster that belongs in a completely different movie or, preferably, considering the cartoony quality of the computer animation, a video game cut scene. This is not your great, great, great, great, great, great, great Aztec grandfather’s Quetzalcoatl. Though this Quetzalcoatl hardly looks like the “plumed serpent” of Aztec lore – more a hybrid of a dragon and a gargoyle. More like a lame Edgar Rice Burroughs wannabe produced for the Hallmark Channel than your typical Sci-Fi Channel movie, because this is a Sci-Fi Channel movie a monster that rips hearts out has been included to justify the film’s Sci-Fi Channel original movie status. Many blame this on the poor CGI, an incoherent storyline, and "d-grade" acting.Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon is at its core a period setting adventure film with Smithsonian Institute researchers discovering the last remnants of Aztec society alive and well living within the darkest (and sometimes surprisingly sunny) reaches of the Grand Canyon.
