Atom User Reviews for The Lost City of Z
Really entertaining. It was great they actually used real locations.
Leaves out the whole present day piece from the book.
Anticlimactic
Epic story, compelling adventure, but choppy movie regarding how it moved from "chapter" to "chapter" along with some forced exposition intended to provide background on the characters.
must see
It was really slow on some parts, but is very interesting in other. iIt never hits with a bang, but it was entertaining enough most of the way through.
This movie is really anti-climactic
kept you guessing
Metacritic
If you long for a film in the tradition of such grown-up entertainments as “Lawrence of Arabia” and “The English Patient,” this is one to get lost in.
The book’s subtitle was “A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon,” and the film gets that part wrong. It’s deadly dull and conspicuously short on obsessiveness.
The Lost City of Z is as much about the struggle of progress as the real-life story it’s telling, and Gray sharply observes the ways in which mankind continuously tears itself apart, usually in the name of progress.
