A megalomaniacal C.E.O. sends his son into the dangerous African Congo on a quest for a source of diamonds large enough and pure enough to function as powerful laser communications transmitters (or is it laser weapons?). When contact is lost with his son and the team, his sometime daughter-in-law is sent after them. She is a former C.I.A. operative and, accompanied by gee-whiz gadgetry and a few eccentric characters (including a mercenary, a researcher with a talking gorilla, and a nutty Indiana-Jones-type looking for King Solomon's Mines), sets out to rescue her former fiancé. What they all discover is that often what we most want turns out to be the source of our downfall.

| About.comFred TopelNot bad adventure, nothing special, but not bad |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's fairly ridiculous (the apes are clearly people in suits), but it's light and brisk and fun, with a nice open-air feel. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe result is not a movie that is very good, exactly, but it's entertaining and funny. |
| KFOR Channel 4 NewsBlake DavisNot funny bad, just bad bad. The worst adaptation of a Michael Crichton book so far. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenIf you want to dwell on details, you won't like this film, but if you just sit back and relax and try not to be crabby, it is a lot of fun. |
| Film4James JenningsRevel in the sheer insanity and unique humor of this cracking jungle adventure. |
| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisIt's a shocker: clunkingly written, dismally acted, haphazardly directed, and with some of the most glaringly conspicuous sound-stages masquerading as the African jungle ever seen in a major American movie. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe lackluster adventure film misses out on most of the thrills from the Michael Crichton 1980 bestseller. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Marisa MirabalCongo falls short on its cinematic impact. |
| CinemixtapeJ. OlsonA goofy mess whose screws aren't loose, but missing entirely. |
