Synopsis: Jim is a teenage boy who lives with his mother, an inn-keeper. One day a stranger gives him a spherical object and dies. A gang of thugs led by a mysterious character comes looking for that object. Jim and his mother are obliged to flee, as they see the inn be destroyed by the thugs. Jim finds out that the strange object is a treasure map. He organizes an expedition in search of the treasure, which is located on a distant planet.
Appraisal: Umpteenth version of the 1883 novel "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson. This time it's a sci-fi version, which looked promising at first but disappointed all the way through, being short on good ideas, both visual and story-related ones. If my memory doesn't fail me, the portal thing is ripped off from Stargate.
I've seen the Brazilian Portuguese-dubbed version.
