rapid_randy This film is for you only if you'd enjoy watching the cast hike for it's entirety. There's one scene that could be classified as Thriller but it's not as powerful as the critics would lead you to believe. Calling it a Drama is almost even reaching as it's more of a found footage movie without shaky cameras and a scary plot twist ending. Yes, a walk in the woods with three wonderful actors is what The Loneliest Planet is. Now that I've wasted my evening, it's time for bed.

fellini_58701 Watching sloths on the discovery channel would have been more interesting. This movie had intentions of being very deep and thought provoking without the characters actually speaking, however, the characters were not able to develop themselves or their relationship enough through the muteness to keep myself interested. The movie is comprised of long shots of the characters walking through the mountains. I could walk out of the room and come back five minutes later to the same scene of walking. The director is relying on the beauty of the scenery to carry the movie for her. Instead of directing a movie and developing characters, she should have been a photographer. If they cut out about thirty minutes of walking from the movie i might of been able to see the depth the movie was trying achieve.

mmunier That's right, if we'd been missing, it would have been perfect. It's quite amazing the rave on it caused. Reading the synopsis you'd think you're on for something special, actually you are as what is special about it is, it's specially boring. Unless you fancy watching someone peeing on the ground or walking slowly sooo slowly.... Or SUDDENLY falling into a shallow stream with little consequence! We usually go to movies as 2 or 3 couples, this time it was 3 and so 6 people felt they'd been conned! I forgot to mention the spoiler...for me it was the whole movie. I found it very disappointing although I know there always will be people who see what other can't see; Yes I have visited art galleries enough to know what can be displayed as "art" but leaves you with a certain smile on the corners of your lips. But if you want for free the same experience this film gives you , Just go almost anywhere with a folding chair sit down and spend a few hours taking it all in, I guarantee you it'll amount to something very similar. Perhaps a yellow dog or a weeping camel here or there may have saved this movie.

lesliejay63 Dear God... No. Just no...I wish I could have my 113 minutes back. I would use the time to clean my A/C vents (as I had planned to do until I got interested in this hunk of doo after reading the synopsis). Seriously, I regret wasting my time on this "movie". How disappointing. Nice scenery. The acting is fine. No plot. No message. No character development. Nothing. a bunch of nothingness. No, just NO. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING to this thing. Nada. Ziltch. I NEVER write reviews ...THAT is how much this thing sucked. I only wish to warn other poor, unsuspecting souls who might consider watching this. I am actually ANGRY! Yes, it is that bad.
