John J What most people miss is that this is a musical with an outstanding score. Musicals are not known for the dramatics. The dance numbers and the musical arrangement in this movie are outstanding. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review john r This big budget movie is at best a poor man's fantasy island. Unfortunately the Burt Bacharach songs don't help at all. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review CodyZamboni Movie is harmless. It's campy and silly. The production design is cheap and tacky. The song and dance numbers are forgettable, But the story held my attention, and the final half hour is a home run - gripping, haunting, and bittersweet, as Peter Finch comes to grips with faith versus reason. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/24 Full Review Audience Member Lost Horizon had a lot of bad qualities that I would consider lost in this film. The following in this film was lost: acting (especially from Sally Kellerman, Olivia Hussey, and Bobby Van), writing (Larry Kramer), and direction (Charles Jarrott). Whoever thought making a remake musical version of Lost Horizon was a good idea should've been fired by Columbia Pictures. Due to the most pathetic dance numbers with tacky moments this Horizon was a lost cause. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member How many things can go wrong in a film? Start with the casting. For a musical, you'd think they would case people who can sing. OK, there are dubbings in musicals but here nearly everyone is dubbed. It is easy to see who is dubbed because those not singing look like they are going through the motions. The choreography is dreadful. In fact, there is no choreographer in the credits. The lyrics are horrible. The music has its moments but is mediocre. On the plus side, the orchestrators did a great job, providing some good musical moments. There is no overture, just a putrid opening song. Then the "musical" goes about 30 minutes without music. What were they thinking here? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I really had no idea what to expect, A stellar cast with the who's who of the 70's. Thought it would be an old fashion adventure movie. It start's out ok, was some what watchable, until... THE SINGING AND DANCING STARTED.
