Lost City if Z - 5.5/10
Most disappointing movie of all year. I was really looking forward to this too.
So many things wrong with this movie and my list would be a mile long.
The way they made the movie just made it hard for you to get into.
You never really feel like you're there with the characters and it never feels realistic enough.
They are starving and doing terrible in the jungle at one point and it really doesn't seem so bad.
For each scene it's was like a requirement for someone to suck all the life out of it and make it as dull as possible.
The main actor at times felt like he was reading through his lines as if he was sleep walking with his eyes open.
His acting was just strange. I'm sure that was just the requirement of his role, but even his son was a far better actor than him.
At no time did I feel anything for it's characters or even care. The one time I nearly did was when his son told his father than he pretty much abandoned them and was never around.
The very last part was really infuriating. You just had to know what happened to it's characters but they go on and on with this sort of distraction. Terrible ending too.
I also seriously could not believe my eyes when they put a WWI scene in this movie. Even if it was in the book they should have shortened it.
There's a few decent scenes, but not many. Robert Pattinson was pretty good in his role.
Suggestion: Watch Aguirre, the wrath of God instead!
