I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This is definitely not a perfect movie, but several themes and elements of it will stay with me for a while. It strays away from the typical adventure movie formula, which often feeds a colonialist attitude towards unknown lands. The film instead undermines this trope, opting for a personal, spiritual look into the protagonist's obsessive journey to lands surrounding the Amazon. This is not merely a quest to find a lost city, but one that questions numerous aspects of our lives - family, marriage, social culture, mortality - and pushes for a meaningful outlook. With such a wide range of themes to touch upon, the movie can feel meandering and sluggish, but the impact of this one stayed with me long after its beautiful ending shot.
Incredibly boring, way too long, cliche, I nearly fell asleep twice. If you want to learn about the history of Percy Fawcett just go read the wikipedia page, it's more interesting than this movie and takes 1/100th the time.No suspense, no action, no comedy, little drama, mediocre acting, mediocre plot, a few good scenes out of dozens, stretched out nearly 2.5 hours.Avoid.
Nothing has happened in the entire movie. There is no City of Z. The cake is a lie
I saw it as one of your best movies. I think it's a little overrated. It's a movie over the standard, but it's not an unforgettable job. Adapted from a true story. Describes the main character's passions and how this affection affects his private life.
