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.

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

Rated: 2/5

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

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

The plot feels predictable and lacks the depth necessary to transcend its striking aesthetic. [Full review in Spanish]

...if there's one thing that stands out about Lost Lands, it's the excellent cinematography and lighting, turning everything into gray, blue, or red tones. [Full review in Spanish]

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.

Cool special effects, great costumes, creatures & the two stars are actually very hot together. Lots of plot twists. Cons are the storyline & cheesy lines throughout. Didn't love the church's assassin's vibe but I get it with the grey witch as the main character. Bautista is in his element of the manly costar. It's a classic story of the Witch & the Werewolf that fall in love through the journey to certain demise. Also good themes of loneliness & love.
