Queen of the Amazon

As this review's headline says, "Amazon Queen" is somewhat in between. I'm not saying it's bad but I don't feel like it's a good film either. I like the plot and Amazon, Brazil scenes. But poor acting though. I feel like I'm watching an opera. Other than that, it's kind of good. It's kind of worth to watch it for first time.

P. S. This is the second film I've watched that has people wearing masks in the film. Does it really need to include COVID-19 situations (such as news and wearing masks and all)?

And everythings for free, so lets go hire a boat on the amazonas and shoot the movie weve always wanted to make, and of they went, family and frinds, making the screenplay at the airport, bought a camera or two at the tax free and so goes the fairytail.... just a possible scenario of the origins of this production...

which stinks to such a degree that its only watchable a double or triple speed , and make a benny hill like show outta it. Plot is stupid, acting is amateuristic stumbling, and the main set production are what you may expect in a narrow space, cause its done the difficult way on board a ship. There are only one area of the moviemaking that i can acclaim and that is the beutiful sceneries of nature shot with high quality drones that make the background frame of this production. Actually well filmed and well chosen takes that theyve mingled with the poo-rest.

So a two minus for this amazonian jungle cruise comes from the grumpy old man. I think if i had the doe and the guts i couldve made a sequel with a far better story and plot, including some piranhas and barracudas using crooks for bait, so its a no recommend whatsoever.

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.

I took a chance and decided to watch this movie last night. It's not a typical Hollywood movie, but it's an independent movie but well worth the time to watch. I've been to the Amazon and this movie took transported me there again. I liked the story and how the plot moved progressed from a tourist cruise to a hostage situation. Will recommend to other travelers that enjoy movies set in distant lands.

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.
