Seven Lost

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.

This is a movie with a very low budget, made more like an outing for a group of amateur reenactment enthusiasts than a cast of real actors. The movie is just not worth it, and the low level is evident from minute zero. The plot is non-existent, the setting inaccurate, and the uniforms and weapons completely wrong. The worst part is seeing that there are a few positive comments and 10-star ratings, which can only be due to bad faith or having confused it with another movie; perhaps there is one with the same title that truly deserves these comments, but this one definitely does not.

Of course, it's always appreciated the effort involved in carrying out a film project, with its enormous complexity, especially without a budget, but this cannot be reason enough to end up making such a poor-quality movie. There are numerous productions that have shown that with a low budget, interesting things can be done. When money is scarce, you have to figure out how to not mess up the basics, and in this movie, they really haven't bothered with this aspect at all. A movie with historical setting requires expert consultants in different areas, and in war movies, like those set in WWII, knowledge of uniforms is fundamental, as everything is well-documented and nothing can be left to improvisation.

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.

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.

This independent movie based on World War II is one of the most interesting and intelligent movies I've seen this year. There are many movies that chronicle the journey of a soldier in a war, but this particular film goes much further than any other. The writing is incredibly brilliant and constantly makes you feel sympathy for each of the characters, who are surprisingly interesting. The performances are wonderful, especially Michael Placencia who plays the main Sargeant character.

The direction of the "Seven Lost" makes you feel as if you are with them, allowing you to be part of the journey in the entirety of the film. Few filmmakers can direct a war movie as good as this one.

From a technical perspective, "Seven Lost" is an absolute achievement in cinema. It is a visually beautiful film with stunning cinematography. The sound effects and mixing are possibly the best I've ever heard in a movie! The shots are loud, scary and realistic.

Considering this is an indie movie, I was absolutely blown away by the use of CGI as it looks incredibly real. The wardrobe and makeup department should also be celebrated as they did an amazing job.

I love when filmmakers have insight when making a war movie. You can see the amount of research that went into portraying the soldiers, their struggles, and their emotions. It seems that each of the characters has a purpose and a life behind the war, which makes you want to see more of them.

Usually, if a WWII movie is boring, it takes my attention away completely, but this movie had me hooked from start to finish, because it's not only historically accurate, it's also incredibly entertaining. It's hard to describe this movie in words, but I urge you to watch it right away, you won't regret it.
