Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and based on George R.R. Martin's short story, the story centers on a queen who, desperate to fulfill her love, makes a daring play: she sends the powerful and feared sorceress Gray Alys (Mila Jovovich) to the ghostly wilderness of the Lost Lands in search of a magical power, where the sorceress and her guide, the drifter Boyce (Dave Bautista), must outwit and outfight man and demon.

Critics Consensus

Squandering George R.R. Martin's source material on an incomprehensible eyesore, Paul W.S. Anderson's In the Lost Lands could use its own map out of the wilderness.

Amon Warmann

Empire Magazine

Neither Bautista nor Jovovich can elevate this ugly-looking misfire. Fans of entertaining fantasy action need not apply. 

Rated: 2/5

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

This Europudding production plods unrewardingly through the murky and humourless terrain of science-fantasy; it is a movie of flabby characterisation, dull storytelling and midprice VFX work.

Rated: 2/5

AV Club

In The Lost Lands, however, feels superficial even by Anderson’s standards, leaning a little too heavily into his predilection for pastiche.

Rated: C

While the film will not appeal to those looking for something arty there is more than enough about it to draw in those that like creative action fantasy films. Let's hope we can delve back into this world sometime soon.

Rated: 3.5/5

Mac the Movie Guy

Paul W.S. Anderson’s budget was left in the lost lands, and he’s sadly unable to figure out how to make this film feel as creatively appreciated as Martin’s other projects.

Rated: 46/100

The People's Movies

Most of the issues with this film come from purely a screenwriting point of view which ends up inevitably hurting its entire narrative, making it feel incredibly slow and overtly long despite its rather short 95-minute runtime on paper.

Rated: 2/5

It was a good idea that was executed poorly. The writing was kind of see through and the mixture of different fairy tales was kind of original, but the story was easy to predict. I would have given it more stars if the story would have been less easy to guess. Overall, exactly what I was expecting.
