At the dawn of the 20th century, British explorer Percy Fawcett journeys into the Amazon, where he discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment, which views indigenous populations as savages, the determined Fawcett, supported by his devoted wife, son, and aide-de-camp, returns to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case.

A slow moving exploration drama that has little action or adventure but takes its time with the characters, their motivations and the political climate of British Imperialism. That sounds less interesting than it is, the film never gets boring, but one should not expect Indiana Jones-esque discoveries or chases. It's beautifully shot and the acting is top notch as well. You can't blame a film for sticking to the facts, but of course the ending is very disenchanting.

Hearkening back to exploration films deep within the amazon, 'The Lost city of Z' is the most quintessential post-modern take on the genre since the blockbusting franchise of 'Indiana Jones'. Brilliantly realized in a in the slightly odd pace of the film's narrative structure, it never loses sight if it's initial subject matter of a man determined to do and find great things whilst keeping those close to him comforted. At the center of the film is Charlie Hunnam whose performance as army general and explorer Percy Fawcett is incredibly worthy of a Oscar Nomination if not an actual win. Though not all the supporting players in the film have so much of a deep focus, the narrative is nonetheless hugely investing and brings out the best of every actor embodying such complex and compelling characters. I don't even think this film needs to be expanded as if it needed to be a blockbuster, it's a smaller type of film with a huge sense of scale whilst tackling a genre we're very familiar with. Even when being based on a book by David Grann, The film speaks for itself without having to over explain anything as it does respect it's audiences until the very end. The film also features some of the most outstanding cinematography I've seen all year for it's early 20th Century period setting(s). Yes, Everyone should go see this film as it's truly one of this year's finest.

Based on a true story of a British explorer of the Amazons, who eventually disappeared and never found, The Lost City of Z suffers terribly from being overly ambitious. The poor pacing and bad editing left me in bouts of yawns, and only picked up interest in the third act.Even then, it lacked a strong climactic end. Tom Holland's sensitive acting was by far the biggest surprise, as he delivered an exceptional, though short, portrayal of Percy's son, Jack, who eventually disappeared together with him.

Let it not be said that The Lost City of Z doesn't attempt something large. Let also not be said that I was entertained for more than a couple of seconds at a time throughout the whole damn thing.
