Seven Lost

I saw the reviews of 8.7 out of 10 and thought I was in for treat. 3 minutes in the bad cgi, lack of a technical advisor, soldier's with the wrong kit and weapons for the time frame had me turn it off and find something. Anything else to watch.

Save yourself from this movie unless someone has a gun to your head stay away. To the film makers it doesn't seem like it wouldn't have taken much to make something better out of the resources you had but here we are. As a historian and rivet counter you failed when you actually had promise. There is a rich genre of war films that got it right. Maybe you shod have screened some before you made this film.

So I didn't read any reviews before watching this movie. I could tell it was going to be a low budget movie before I started watching it, so my expectations were low to begin with. But man I was surprised just how poor this was within the first five minutes.

The costume department did and awful job with the uniforms, especially what the Italians were wearing.

The script was awful and I even feel bad referring to is as a script. Some of the acting was pretty bad and some was passable given what the actors had to work with. The story itself was the standard predictable affair and very very basic. This was just a really hard film to watch as it is beyond slow and very unengaging. I can see why other reviewers didn't finish it.

As a side note I have now read the reviews for this movie and feel that the 10 star ones are clearly positive review bombing.

SO incredibly boring with lame dialogue, super-predictable plot, and a boring ending. If you need help getting to sleep, this is the perfect war movie for you. I'm baffled since it seems to get other good reviews.

Documentaries are usually boring and hard to watch till the end, but seven lost exceeds the expectation. The story follows an American troop stranded in the Italian wilderness, struggling to find their way back to safety during World War 2. The hard life of soldiers is depicted in a way that you feel connected to them as if they are your family members. The acting and direction is so perfectly done that it would show you the real picture of the life and struggles soldiers as they try to find their way back to America from Italy.

One thing that I liked was that the movie is shot by hand in a way that gives a real-life experience which makes you feel like you're experiencing it all first-hand. This gives the viewers a better understanding of the heart wrenching War.

The actors gave such a stellar performance, especially Karl J. Arana who was very convincing in the role of a captain. As a whole the entire cast gave their blood and sweat which was quite visible from their terrific performance.

The movie soars into much depth about the horrific reality of the war that the viewers feel emphatically driven towards the people who suffered in the war. All credit goes to the direction but to the cast and crew as well, they showed the viewers a side of the war that was never seen before.

All in all, seven lost is a movie that will not only you hooked to it through 80 minutes onto your seats but also gives a feeling of sympathy towards the heroes of World War 2 or any other war that is going on in the world.

Did not even make it 3 mins of this poorly executed film. Can tell there was zero input from anyone with military experience. Could of made it more realistic using military members fresh out of basic training. 10/10 WOULD NOT recommend to anyone who ever served or knows anyone who has served in the military. If you are looking for a good military movie just look anywhere else but here. I don't know who the people are who rated this 10 stars but they must not be anyone who has ever watched a military movie before and have no experience whatsoever with anything related to military. Please do not waste your time.
