I recall liking it. I will readily admit I am not a discriminating movie critic though.

NO, no,no,no on Steve Zahn as Al Giordano. Ruins the whole movie. If you have read any of the Dirk Pitt books Zahn looks nothing like the description of Al. While he will throw out the occasional one-liner he was in no way the buffoon that Zahn played him.
McConaughey did make an excellent Dirk Pitt though.

Very enjoyable movie. One I have a hard time not stopping and watching if it comes on.

It was well cast.  Steve Zahn as Giordano was a great choice.

I disagree, and I have read the book.  It's been a while now so maybe he's not tracking the character 100%, but from what I remember Giordano was pretty much a goofball in the book too.

@PA452

Definitely more of an artistic and philosophical film, and one that benefitted from having its budget cut to where it had to resort to mostly practical effects instead of CGI and a different cast than was originally intended, but I thought it was excellent.

As far as other movies that might go in my top ten for that decade, I'd put Blackhawk Down, Master and Commander, Way of the Gun, The Departed, The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond, and a few others as contenders.  Other series that aired during that period that might make a top ten list for me could include Band of Brothers, Breaking Bad, Battlestar Galactica, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, The X-Files, and LOST (despite the crappy ending; the early seasons were excellent), among others.  Other movies I thought were really good regardless of timeframe include Heat, Interstellar, Hell or High Water, Sicario, Arrival, The Sand Pebbles, Ben Hur (Heston version), Gettysburg, La 317eme Section, Gattaca, and the new Dune, among some others.  If our tastes are still largely aligned, then I'd even more strongly recommend The Fountain.

A hidden gem of a dark comedy directed by Danny DeVito. So much talent and Robin Williams was at his best in adult humor. Even Jon Stewart was hilarious in it.

I didn’t read the book so any difference didn’t matter to me. The banter between Zahn’s character and Dirk was one of the best characteristics of the movie.

I thought Sahara would make a good start to a new series of movies, in the realm of the Indiana Jones movies.
