Atom User Reviews for The Lost Bus
I liked it. It held my attention, and the story was easy to follow. The acting was great and I forgot I was watching a movie. The only thing I didn't like was the constant shaky scenes from the camera. I understand it's a technique used to create visual tension, but it was…
Was not expecting to tear up towards the end as much as I did. On the edge of my seat for majority of the movie and you can feel the tension in the air.
I really enjoy true story movies so if you do as well, I would 100% recommend.
The Lost Bus , was a fantastic movie. The details put into the story line of this " Based on true events " movie , are perfect. The director did a fantastic job of making you feel as if you were there and sitting on the bus with those kids.
I cried the whole time. It gave me perspective on what happens in real life.
Great movie

The movie was intense and realistic. We felt like we were actually there trying to escape the fire. We really enjoyed the story and the actors did a really good job.
Very suspenseful
Great movie! Can’t wait to see again!
Great movie, kept you at the edge of your seat! Acting was fantastic and special effects were phenomenal!
Enjoyed the movie and very intense scenes with the fires. Impressed with the kids on the school bus! Great acting by the cast.
Awesome edge of the seat ride. The surround sound effects in the eimagine theater I watched this made me feel like I was in the movie. Wonderful experience indeed.
Very intense, edge of your seat movie! I was thinking too those kids I'm sure were paid VERY well! Very Action Packed!!!
Would of been better if the camera didn’t move so much and the clips keep jumping to different angles so fast got me dizzy and the group I went with thought the same as well.
I definitely would recommend this movie. It was heart pounding.
Personally, I like stories based on real events, the movie is entertaining.
overly dramatic, which makes the viewer wonder which parts are authentic to the original story
Metacritic
McConaughey and Ferrera prove the most delightful endangered bus companions since Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in Speed, exhibiting just the right balance between tension and comradeship.
The narrative is hamstrung by cliché attempts to build McKay’s backstory, shamelessly changing key facts. McConaughey’s performance is just fine, as is Ferrera’s, but the personal stuff feels like a distraction.
The fire scenes are terrifying and may well sear themselves into your brain, but however well-intentioned, the human element is less involving than the disaster they must endure.
