Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
paulclaassen The film has impressive visuals for a TV movie, and I enjoyed the subtle use of music during some scenes as opposed to the overbearing music Hollywood blockbusters love so much. It made me focus more on what was actually happening. The casting was also relatively good. (I must be honest, though, I did find Sean Bean's character, Amal, a bit unexplored).The film does borrow heavily from 'The Time Machine' with regards to plot (to a certain extent) and make-up, and especially the way some of the beasts move. Some of the explanations on their knowledge of the past will have you raise an eyebrow, but lets just overlook that and enjoy this fantasy action adventure for its intended purpose: to entertain. And entertain it certainly does. The film features some great sets and locations, and the cinematography was very good, as well.There's plenty of action and adventure here, and there were even some very effective, unexpected scares! Although I might not watch it again in a hurry, it was well worth the watch.
Fozzibear This film falls in between two genres; proper grown up movies with proper plots and real acting, and syfy type b movie camped up dross. Sean Bean was obviously brought into add some credibility to the proceedings but must have sat in his trailer wondering what on earth he had signed up for.As far as filming goes the camera work was competent although fight scenes were haphazard, largely to cover up a lack of effective cgi. The music was absolutely awful and added nothing to the proceedings. The backdrops were very good but weren't used very well.The biggest problem was the huge plot holes, literally everywhere. Some more obvious ones are listed below.SPOILER ALERT1 Cave - mentioned by other reviewers 2 Why were they living in the open? Surely a few hundred years after civilisation was wiped out, some semblance of building skills must have remained? 3 If the cavemen were surrounded by infected beasts, where were the traps etc? to protect themselves? 4 How did half a dozen men with rope bring down a giant sloth ten times bigger than a grizzly bear? And then proceed to not eat it, despite hunting it for food? On that note, if they were out of food to take such reckless action why were all the actors do flush with health? 5 Why were Sean a beans teeth so bad when he was the civilised one, yet the main hero cavemen were perfect? 6 How did the villain make it across the chasm after the bridge was destroyed and end up in camp five minutes after they arrived? Why didn't one of the men on horseback just shoot him instead of standing around waiting for him to load up his crossbow? 7 How can there be a sub tropical climate with climbers over old buildings yet the library full of old books he dusty, with no signs of any water damage to the books there? 8 Yellow powder - mentioned before by other reviewers.There are more but I am losing the will to live at this point so I'll leave it there.Best avoided unless your really bored or love had movies.
ivanovaat Wow, the reviews on this movie are all over the place. Is it garbage? Is it an overlooked gem? Well, a little of both.If you've ever been househunting, you've run into houses that had "good bones" - good solid construction, nice layout, good plumbing, electrical, etc..... but these homes often have ugly carpeting, out-of-date wallpaper, and a kitchen and bath that need a MAJOR redo. That's this movie.Overall, the movie has an interesting premise, a lot of fun action, characters that you care about and gorgeous scenery. Good bones. Unfortunately, the movie also suffers from silly mistakes and sloppy writing that needlessly diminish it. The scene, for example, where the characters come across leeches for, apparently the first time in their lives (though they are in a body of water IN the village), then in the next scene they refer to these creatures casually as "leeches". What? A second ago they were horrified and baffled at the sight of them! Or the fact that when attacked, they all cry out, "To the Cave!" and all run to what is apparently their Emergency Back-Up Cave (complete with an emergency "door" that seals them in).... yet strangely, the cave has no food nor water stored in it, and they are soon worried about this - understandably.These minor, but frustratingly inane situations occur with sad frequency - but my hubby and I kept with the film because... it does have good bones, just ugly carpeting.Really ugly carpeting.Just watch the film imagining hardwood floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. LOL!:)
Claudio Carvalho In a post-apocalyptic world, a group of survivors led by Uri (Tertius Meintjes) and the ancients are organized in tribe, in a primitive society without technology and lives in a small village in the Grey Rock National Park surrounded by beasts that transmit a disease that transforms the victims in mutants. Uri's son Savan (Corey Sevier) is the best hunter of their tribe and successor of his father, while Kaleb (Sam Claflin) is the best tracker and together with his sister Miru (Eleanor Tomlinson), they are the only survivors that can read and writer. Their father Jaret believed that it might exist other survivors outside Grey Rock and left them alone to wander around the area. Kaled is a dreamer and secretly loves Savan's woman Dorel (Annabelle Wallis). When the beats surprisingly attack Uri's hamlet, a group runs to a cave and block the entrance with logs. Kaleb saves Dorel from a beast and sooner Savan meets them. Out of the blue, the stranger Amal (Sean Bean) approaches to the trio and invites them to join his family, composed by his wife Neenah (Jessica Haines) and their son Persk that lives in the outskirt of Grey Rock protected by a river. Sooner Amal discloses to them that Jaret had found the formula of a yellow powder that cures the sick persons. However, the evil Gagen (Jonathan Pienaar) had stolen the powder and kept with him. Amal, Savan, Kaleb and Dorel travel together to find Gagen and bring the yellow powder to their tribe.Yesterday I saw "The Lost Future" and based on the 4.7 IMDb User Rating, I found it an underrated adventure. The story is entertaining and Sean Bean and the unknown actors and actresses have good performances. The special effects are decent and fortunately I did not give credit to the bitter users that were not able to appreciate a pleasant adventure. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "O Futuro Perdido" ("The Lost Future")
