Queen of the Amazon

The scenery was worthwhile, but couldn't carry the film. Nice little ship. A river tour on it might be an interesting voyage, espicially on the Amazon. The indigenous performers were the highlight. We don't often get to see scenes like that these days.

It's a C or D movie so don't expect too much. Some talented performers and creatives have played part in making this film, but it's seriously worsened by a majority of less talented/experienced people.

Acting is pretty terrible (D) Cinematography is quite amazing (B) Plot works, just (B) Music sounds like a midday soapy (F) Directing is scattish at best (C) Underlying Message is pretty good.

All in all. If you have nothing better to do, go for it..

You know when you are watching something that is done on a shoestring, the only way the makers can.

Rate it how you want, but why with such venom?

I love reading the critical analysis of some of these snobs.

I bet many of them haven't dared take that step, to try and produce something from somewhere within them, and then put it on view for the world to see.

That takes guts alone.. Why such venom, for anything> Hahaha It it was by Hitchcock or Speilberg, then okay. But these people tried to do something.

Not sat behind their screens thinking..... hmmm, I have nothing else to do in my life now, I can't move on until I have vented, hahah It wasn't great, but jeez, hahaha Maybe take up a drug addiction and fill that void in your soul.

I saw this film as part of the Las Vegas International Film and Screenwriting Festival, and found it to be a nice addition to the mix of films, especially since it was a more commercial premise and had what may be the best cinematography and location photography I've ever seen from an independent film. This genuinely raises the quality of the film, as it is such a big part of the whole thing.

One problem, as other reviews note, is the acting. It's very wooden, and I also think the film could have benefitted from "feeling" more like a film. I can't put my finger on it, but it felt like a nature show or a PBS show, mixed with a Lifetime or basic cable thriller, not a cinematic film. It could also be the overall mood of the film? I love movies, but, unfortunately I don't know enough to make a specific suggestion with one viewing.

Watched this because it had a 5.5 IMDB rating and was "Next up for you" on Amazon Prime. Acting is stilted, movie is slow. The filming does not seem natural. Weak storyline. Only good thing is the jungle scenery.
