What we have here is the ultimate chick flick.
Nothing for the guys.
A story about Atlantis being a lost city in the desert is far fetched, so rationale goes out the window right away.
Two Europeans find this lost city.
There, they meet two other English speaking sorts, one a clownish fop, the other a drug crazed half wit.
For some reason, the one who tells this in flashback ignores all the beautiful dark skinned babes, and goes gaga over a plain Jane who is the chess playing mistress of Atlantis. Which is what makes this a total chick flick. No guy would ever buy into this. This is a world women want, where gorgeous girls meet tragic ends, and plain Janes are worshiped by guys who must be as gay as Paree.
She loves the other guy, so of course she wants him killed.
Meanwhile, the guy telling the story in flashback is so gaga over her, that he is willing to kill his friend. This isn't a spoiler. He admits this in the first minutes of the movie.
The only people we could possibly care about are in the background. And, like I said, this is done total chick flick style, in the final outcome.
