"Curse of the Mayans"

-


For centuries, the Mayan culture has fascinated the world with its innovation in agriculture to its mysterious practices and possible link to aliens (in theory of course). The Mayan calendar predicted that the world would end in 2012, well it's 2018 and we're still here (awkward). Many believe that it just simply ended, but what if it were really the beginning?

When Dr. Alan Green (Steve Wilcox) discovers an ancient parchment containing information to the location a lost Mayan hall of records, he recruits an American Archeologist and expert diver Danielle Noble (Carla Ortiz) and her team to explore the underwater caves which they will find it, it starts out as the discovery of the century. Hesitant to do it after losing someone close to her during her last cave dive, she decides to agree to lead the expedition, but nothing goes as planned. As they begin to dive the depths, they soon discover that what is below was never meant to be found and now they must fight for their very survival against an ancient terror from another world before they take over ours.

This film while an interesting theory on the so-called "ancient creatures" it lacked the grip to keep your interest. It took most of the movie to get to the scary parts and the scary parts left you unfazed. A lack of creativity and writing skills. The only interesting parts were the scenes featuring what the Mayan culture might have been like long ago. Overall, it wasn't worth the watch. I give it two G.M.Stars and leave it at that.
