Jungle

Man -vs- Nature.

This film is a smorgasbord of epic cinematography, beautiful location shoots, great directing and outstanding performance by Daniel Radcliffe.

However, I felt this is one of those films that had it been played at 1.5x speed, I would have enjoyed it more. The 1h 55min run-time felt really unnecessarily long. 1hr 15-25min would have been perfect had the pace picked up in certain areas it dragged.

Nevertheless, very enjoyable 'True Story' and a 8/10 from me.

For me I've never read the book so I can't compare it to that. I also don't know how accurate it is because I know nothing about trekking through Jungles. However from what I saw it looked very realistic and I enjoyed it. Also Daniel Radcliffe's acting was incredible a real joy to watch.

Remind me never to go trekking in the Amazonian jungle with nothing but a random guide. True stories always hit harder than fiction. There really are some terrible people in the world and in the same movie, some people with amazing survival skills. I wouldn't have lasted the first night.

Young guys seeking adventure trek into South American jungle as if it were a tourist destination. They are clueless and have no survival skills. You can fill in the blanks from there. Still, if you like survival movies -- as I do -- this is worth a look. High production values and credible acting. I enjoyed the ride.

This is not by far a great movie. But it is great worth watching movie. Based from real event movie. i don't understand why 'based from true event' gets low rate. Like what i want in any of survival movie, this movie makes you appreciate your daily 'goodnight' bed. The characters in this film were great, as if you see your own character in one of the characters. You will be able to experience my title in this movie.

p/s : I never watch below 7.0 rating unless if its 'True Story' movie. In this case i watch this movie (now rated 6.7) and found this movie should at least rated 7.1 or above. if you are my 'kind' then you should watch this movie.
