Buyer (and British history) beware!
18 June 2004
I rarely write reviews here - only when a movie is extremely good or extremely bad. This movie falls into the latter category. I was literally dozing within 5 minutes with this piece.

Some of the more egregious moments in the first 20 minutes: . Treatment of Lord Kelvin

Lord Kelvin died in 1907 and was appropriately buried next to Issac Newton in Westminster Abbey. He published 661 papers, took out 70 patents and had more initials after his name than any other man in the British Commonwealth! He is presented in this movie as a buffoon. . The is no Royal Academy of Science in the UK, it is called the Royal Society .The president of the Royal Society is not the minister of science . The minister of science has very little power in the UK let alone the power to "run everything". . Lord Kitchener was Secretary of War in World War 1 - not head of police . Arnold Schwarzenegger (an Austrian by birth) as a Turkish prince was the last straw.

You have been warned...

As we have known for some time, no historical fact is sacred in the pursuit of a bad story.
