rgallop-06663 Agree with most. Boring and non conclusive. Watched on a long haul flight so it filled in the hours. Maybe should have just raised window shade. Sienna the only redeeming factor. Gorg!
Nazz86 Incredibly boring, way too long, cliche, I nearly fell asleep twice. If you want to learn about the history of Percy Fawcett just go read the wikipedia page, it's more interesting than this movie and takes 1/100th the time.No suspense, no action, no comedy, little drama, mediocre acting, mediocre plot, a few good scenes out of dozens, stretched out nearly 2.5 hours.Avoid.
brettcberger I can't explain why this completely film completely devoid of entertainment value or meaning gets any kind of positive overall scoring. I can only see it as political bias as some may have resonated with the anti-white, anti-colonial messaging. This movie did not inspire and had no meaningful journey for the protagonist and those that surrounded him. His story was not told in the context of the times but, rather, was judged from the current vantage point without any attempt to show why people believed the way they did. Compare to Master and Commander for a fairer treatment of the context with a subtext of questioning, a much more thought-provoking handling of the issues, and a thoroughly riveting story.
jtindahouse For some reason at the moment I'm right into movies set in the jungle of exotic countries. I'm not sure the reason, perhaps I'm craving an exotic adventure for myself. Whatever it is though it's got me watching every one of them I can find. I had been meaning to get around to 'The Lost City of Z' but the runtime of two hours 20 minutes had me a little bit sceptical. The pacing of a film with that length needs to impeccable otherwise it can drag on and become a real chore. I finally got around to seeing it though and what I discovered wasn't a bad film, but it certainly wasn't as enjoyable as I'd hoped for.I'd hoped for a film much more like 'Jungle' starring Daniel Radcliffe where they enter the jungle, the action begins and then never lets up. Instead I found it a very frustrating and choppy film. Every time the action was just starting to begin they'd suddenly cut back to civilisation with them out of the jungle and the boring set up nonsense would start again. The film is undoubtedly at its strongest when it is set in the jungle.It sounds like there was a hell of a lot of adversity during the shoot. I commend the cast and crew for committing to actually film in the jungle. It sounds like it was bloody awful at times. There's some very strong dialogue throughout the movie that helps pave over a lot of the cracks. There are unquestionably better jungle set movies out there that I would recommend checking out before this one.
