Lost Wilderness

I see why some folks wouldn't like this. No CG, explosions, or spaceships. But what I liked about it was, it was very family friendly. My grandsons loved it. It reminded me of what Disney movies used to be. Great after-school flick.

This movie was such a waste of time, I thought I would write a review here just to warn you guys and avoid more people wasting their time like I wasted mine. I've never seen such bad and fake acting in a film. I thought even though the story seems boring and badly acted, maybe I'll learn a few tips about nature survival. All the "sruvival" skills used, and all the problems they run into, are as fake as the acting! Absolutely nothing learned at all! On top of all this, the film seems to basically tell you "nature is dangerous. you should just stay at home and eat bacon all day, then you'll be happy". It's the stupidest plot, with the stupidest morale, written in the poorest possible way, and with the worst possible acting. OK I wasted 5 extra minutes writing this review, hope at least it keeps you from wasting 1.5 hours of your life.

Where to start? 1. Horrible casting, worse than highschoolers 2. The plot is as predictable as it comes. Even worse. 3. The acting eliminates any kind of drama from the plot as they are incapable of showing any emotion whatsoever, regardless of the situation they claim to be in. 4. This is an example of two hours wasted of our time. My wife and I were making a comedy out of it as we could not find any other thing to do with this movie. 5. Somehow this movie had 8.5 stars. We are writing this to make the rating closer to the reality and avoid this traumatic experience to other watchers.

Do you know one of those movies that you will always remember, even after years, due to its poor quality, horrible cast and woeful plot? Jackpot here.

Do yourself a favour: pick a letter of the dictionary and start reading. That's much more entertaining!

There is no Hollywood a-listers in this indie film but for me and my kids it hit all the emotional marks, we laughed, we cried, the bear attack was scary. It's not a big budget film but the location where they shot it contained some breathtaking scenery. Families who have a camping background will appreciate and understand how quickly things can go wrong in the wild.

One bad decision after another put these kids in big trouble. The performances from the young cast was great. It wasn't as adult oriented or hardcore as 'Stand By Me' but the story had that vibe to it.

I'm a musician and appreciated the country flavored guitar based sound track, so I was pleased with that as so many indie films fail in that area.

We are a blended family and it actually allowed my kids to process some of the things they have been feeling in our new family. We recently watch Tomorrowland and my boys liked this better.

So far the worst movie I have seen in 2016 and 2017. The acting is poor, fake and it doesn't transmit any emotions. Going to an end-of-the year middle school play is definitely a better option. The movie, despite being set around an astonishing scenery has no capacity of transmitting the beauty of the surrounding. The lightening is poor despite the photography being decent. The sound management is also really bad, something the actors voices are really loud and some other times you can hardly hear them speak because of the surrounding noise. Overall, the screenplay is amateurish, boring and doesn't provide anything other than 2 hours of boring scenes with no pathos whatsoever. I really don't see how people could have rated this **** 9 or 10, this is just pure rubbish. Save yourself this waste of time and engage with something else.
