With mankind reduced to living amidst a god-fearing zealousness in a city under a mountain where they are ruled by a decrepit overlord and his much younger queen (Amara Okereke), it would appear that their only hope of salvation from that salvation rests with the witch “Gray Alys” (Milla Jovovich). If she can make direct eye contact with you, then she can manipulate what you think and see. She has only narrowly escaped the “Enforcer” (Arly Jover) when she receives a couple of visitors who ask he…

<em>'In the Lost Lands'</em> is oddly one that didn't do it for me. I say oddly because I really enjoyed all of the cast here, it's just the story that totally failed to claw me in; I honestly would struggle to give you a suitable recap of the plot even so soon after watching it. Those onscreen, however, are all pluses. Dave Bautista is good, so is Milla Jovovich. Arly Jover works, as do Amara Okereke and Fraser James. Simon Lööf is the weakest main cast member and even he is fine. It is rare…

"In the Lost Lands" is a basic watch, accompanied by a dose of the by now predictable, DEI indoctrination. This feels like a paired down "Resident Evil" sci fi, with a medieval fantasy overlay and a few spaghetti Western elements, thrown in.

This a fundamentally, a simple, exposition driven affair, with a basic story, incorporating the usual DEI prerequisites and a l…

Reminds me of of the films Priest and legion but only half as good. There seem no suprise element throughout, as if you've seen it all before. A lot of films with Milla Jovovich as the action hero have that in common along with a dystopian element. Its worth a watch at very least. The actors carry the film given the storyline. There was a double headed snake that gained my interest early on, but after that it lacked a purpose bit flat and too somber. (I was hoping it was going to go along the li…

With both leads known for being involved in less than mediocre scifi movies, honestly, I wasn't expected much out of "In The Lost Lands" and thats what i got, not much. Dave Batista isn't winning an oscar anytime soon but at least he is in a decent movie every so often. Milla Jovovich on the other hand has left a long and winding trail of scifi duds behind her since the first resident evil. It's getting to the point if I see her name in the beginning credits, every bit of enthusiam I might have …
