Better than average explorer-adventure movie
By Paul Allaer
"The Lost City of Z" (2016 release from the UK; 141 min.) brings the true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett. As the movie opens, we are told it is "Cork, Ireland, 1905", and we get to know Major Fawcett and his wife Nina. Even though he wins the prestigious deer hunt event, he isn't highly regarded ("he choose the wrong ancestors", sneers one). The next year, Fawcett is transferred to the Royal Geographical Society in London, and it isn't long before Fawcett is asked/offered the opportunity to settle a border dispute between Bolivia and Brazil. Off he goes, and the adventure of a lifetime awaits. At this point we're 15 min. into the movie, but to tell you more of the plot would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out.
Couple of comments: this is the big screen adaptation of the book of the same name, directed by James Gray (best known for his film "The Immigrant" a few years ago). Here, Gray gets the opportunity to bring an epic adventure to life. Indeed, once the story settles in South America, one cannot escape the gorgeous photography. But thankfully it's not just eye-candy, as the story telling is quite solid. In particular the second half of the movie soars, as we see what becomes of the quest for this legendary location. Along the way, we even get treated to a tough episode in WWI, shot with a veracity that rings true. Charlie Hunnam in the lead role of Percy Fawcett gets his meatiest role to date, and Sienna Miller is quite good as his wife Nina. But the big surprise is surely Robert Pattinson, unrecognizable as Fawcett's sidekick Henry Costin (it's only when I saw the end credits roll that I realized this was Pattinson). Last but not least, Christopher Spelman delivers a rousing orchestral score,
"The Lost City of Z" premiered last Fall at the New York Film Festival. It finally opened in theaters this weekend, I couldn't wait to see it. The Friday early evening screening where I saw this at was attended very nicely, somewhat to my surprise. If you are in the mood for a better than average exploration adventure movie, I'd readily recommend you check out "The Lost City of Z", be it in theaters, on Amazon Instant Video, or eventually on DVD/Blu-ray.

Explores the jungles in South America and in your mind
By Trina Boice
Grade: B+
Rating: PG-13, 140 minutes
In a Nutshell: This savage story features the true tale of Percival Fawcett and his dream to discover The Lost City of Z along the Amazon river in the early 1900’s.
Also explored is what makes people tick, their dreams, motivations, and how they hold on to hope.
Based on David Grann’s best-seller The Lost City of Z, it has the look and feel of one of those old-time exploration dramas and will remind you a little bit of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Uplifting theme:
Hope
Discovery
“To dream, to seek the unknown, to look for what is beautiful is its own reward.” – Nina Fawcett (Sienna Miller)
“We are all made of the same clay.” – Percy (Charlie Hunnam)
“A man’s reach should exceed his grasp.” - Nina Fawcett
Things I liked:
Good for British actor Charlie Hunnam! He did an excellent job in portraying a complex character who is brave, hopeful, and even reckless. He also stars in the upcoming King Arthur: Legend of The Sword: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack movie. He has been in several movies and TV shows, but people are just now starting to really take notice of his wide range of talent. As the newest hunk to get attention, he doesn't take his shirt off in this film, but he does in King Arthur, ladies.
There is an interesting USA vs. England dimension as the two countries raced to explore and discover the world first in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Twilight fans of Robert Pattinson will see him in a new light if they even recognize him at all underneath all that beard and hair.
I loved that Percy became quite humble and respectful of the land and people he explored, as opposed to his contemporaries, both American and British who arrogantly called the natives "savages."
While Sienna Miller plays the dutiful wife, she also has some great moments when she reveals graceful wisdom and insight.
Spiderman! Tom Holland, who stars in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming - The Art of the Movie, does a great job as Percy's eager son.
There's a smoky, old-fashioned air to how the movie is filmed that adds to the eery feeling.
At the end of the movie, text on the screen tells you how the story ended.
It's a fascinating character study on what makes men cowards and others brave.
Things I didn’t like:
Some of the dialogue is pretty weak. The movie was written and directed by James Gray.
It drags on a bit. Experts who like that might call it "methodical pacing."
It's really hard to avoid people suffering in a variety of ways in an exploration story like this. Wounds, illness, fighting, drowning, being eaten by piranha, arrows, sacrifice, etc.
I never saw a single trailer for this movie before it played. The marketing was extremely thin.
Interesting lines:
“All that matters now is the future.” – Percy
“Nothing will happen to us that is not our destiny.” – Percy
“Have fun and be bold.” – Nina (that's the same advice I give my sons!)
“So much of life is a mystery, my boy. We know so little of this world.” – Percy
“It’s not possible to choose a safe passage through life.” – Jack Fawcett (Tom Holland II)
“We’ve never let fear determine our future.” – Nina
‘It’s his essential nature. Who am I to betray that?” – Nina Fawcett (Sienna Miller) when she decided to let her son go on a voyage with his father
“Peace means only that nothing will change.” – Spanish guy at beginning
“Am I a fool to leave my family for this place?” - Percy
Tips for parents:
Topless native women
Profanity
There are subtitles you’ll need to read to kids who can’t keep up.
Violence and brutality. Some people die in horrible ways.

“To look for what is beautiful is its own reward”
By Doug Park
{3.5 stars}
Many people will approach this film expecting to see a riveting historical adventure. While there is a great deal of compelling exposé of Percy Fawcett and crew‘s exploration of the Amazon, encounters with Indians, wild beasts, and so forth, as well as some tense battle scenes of the WWI Battle of the Somme, those people are likely to be disappointed in the end. “The Lost City of Z” is more of a philosophical think-piece and character study of a tragic hero than anything else. The story of how Percy Fawcett must find the Lost City that he has no certainty actually exists, even when it means probable death and neglect of his own family, is thought-provoking, but no more so than many other films of this type. We don’t really empathize that much with Fawcett‘s obsessions, mainly because the film doesn’t make the unexplored Amazon seem terribly alluring, nor does it really show what makes him so confident the City is out there somewhere.
Some plot-holes and ambiguities, but nothing just ruinous. LCZ is basically watchable, with some pronounced draggy spots. Yet, it lacks that necessary something it needs to make it truly satisfying. The whole mood of the film is somber in a way that’s likely to lose much of the audience. There have also been some criticisms of its lack of historical accuracy. I’m not really sure of the real story, but like most “docudramas,” LCZ should certainly be taken with a dose of salt.
All this being said, the acting by all is quite good, and Charlie Hunnam (Fawcett) is an actor we’re likely to see more of in the future. Same for the cinematography and directions, particularly in how LCZ utilizes details of its setting in time: It really takes us back to the early 1900s.
