Steineded How sad is this?
GazerRise Fantastic!
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
jlthornb51 Director Jorg Ihle works from his own imaginative script and brings this exciting film to the screen with style and creativity. Lovely and gifted actress Jewel Staite gives a superb performance and effectively steals this movie from the rest of the cast without too much trouble. Staite lights up the screen each time she appears and when she isn't in a scene, the film suffers for it. The thrills come fast and furiously and a group of people on an island fight for their very lives against indescribable creatures of horror. While there is indeed blood shed in this motion picture, it is within reason and not excessive when it features such intense depictions of beasts devouring humans. Truly terrifying at times and as genre cinema, actually very, very satisfying.
tohu If you read my reviews you'll see that I'm not one for hyperbole. But, all things considered, this really is one of the worst films I have ever seen.A group of young rich Americans - who have various relationship issues between them - get on a yacht to sail off to a party. The boat sinks and they find themselves stranded on a mysterious island where they must battle to survive against a tribe of murdering sub-humans.Yes it's all been done before, and there is NOTHING in this film that even attempts originality. But that's not the main problem. I can't tell you how bad it is. The relationships between the characters are poorly developed, the characters themselves are one-dimensional and unsympathetic, the acting is bottom-rate, the plot pointless, the direction annoying.I usually try not to spoil in my reviews but this film is so bad I don't want you to waste your time seeing it, so I'll give you an example: One character is attacked by the creatures and dragged off into the jungle while he sleeps. He wakes to find his shin-bone broken and sticking out through his skin (he has noticed none of this as he slept). This kind of injury must surely be one of the most painful things possible, yet when he (eventually) notices it he winces as though he has been stung by a bee, then calmly ties the bone with a splint, gets up and starts walking around seemingly un-perturbed. Later we see him running.Characters are seemingly killed off one by one, only to be seen again later being tortured by the creatures - and then killed anyway. As the plot rambles on, the tribe seems to have some kind of mysterious agenda, and it turns out they are selective in which humans they kill, but by the time we discover this there is only one human character left and she has no-one to talk to, so we don't get to know why.Sometimes films are so bad they are actually funny, and they develop cult status. That won't happen to this one, because it doesn't even have any heart. Even if you like gore, the killings are not all that bloody so you'll be disappointed on that level too. Overall, by the time the closing credits roll it really is a relief, and you just wonder: why did they bother?In all my IMDb reviews over the years, I have never given a move a '1' rating before. It seems there's a first time for everything!
krotkruton Recipe for this movie: Start off with "The Descent" Replace cast of girls with one likable actress and others no one will care about Change setting to jungle Make the bat-like creatures into monkey-like creatures, but keep the blindness and echo-location because, you know, monkeys are like that too. End on a Hollywood happy noteIf it wasn't so similar to "The Descent" or had come out first, I probably would have like it more. It didn't have the grittiness, the terror, the bad ass lead character. On top of that, the plot is pretty obvious and your typical Hollywood formula. It just doesn't measure up. It's not a bad movie, it just doesn't have any of the qualities that made "The Descent" so great.
Claudio Carvalho While navigating to a birthday party of their friend Mo, the motor pleasure yacht of Peter (Justin Baldoni), his girlfriend Liz (Jewel Staite), Ira (Marc Bacher), Lauren (Nikki Griffin) and Jake (Kellan Lutz) wrecks on a rock and the vessel sinks. The castaways reach a beach in the Antilles Islands, and release a distress call to the owner of the yacht through the radio. However, during the night, Peter vanishes leaving a track of blood; Jake threatens Ira and Lauren with a pistol and forces the couple to join Liz to seek out Peter in the woods. Sooner they find that the wild jungle has hostile inhabitants that hunt in pack and the survivors are the prey.I saw the trailer of "The Forgotten Ones" a couple of days ago and I expected to see a good movie; unfortunately there are many flaws in the plot and I was disappointed. For example, there is no development of the five lead characters and it is impossible to feel any empathy for any of them: Peter is an arrogant wolf that cheats Elizabeth, who is a hysterical and impulsive blonde that does not think; Jake is an envious guy that does not respect his friend Ira, pointing a gun to him; Ira is a silly man and Lauren is a slut. There are stupid attitudes along the story and Liz is the winner: Liz crashes the radio that might help to rescue her; she decides to go into the woods despite Ira's advice to use the raft to seek help; later she goes to the nest of the creatures to get the raft back and row with a plastic paddle to the open sea. Peter has a wounded leg, but runs like a hell when the creature chases him. Jake falls from the top of a tree and has no injuries. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "A Tribo" ("The Tribe")
