Film Review: The Lost Future (2010)

Hey all,

Today I have a review of The Lost Future (2010).

Film Summary:

A group of post-apocalyptic survivors, struggle to survive in a world where jungles and forests and primeval wetlands and deserts have obliterated civilization. They staunchly face genetically mutating beasts and mysterious diseases in an attempt to re-establish the human race as masters of Earth.

In a post-apocalyptic world, a group of survivors led by Uri 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 is the best hunter of their tribe and successor of his father, while Kaleb 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. 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 approaches to the trio and invites them to join his family, composed by his wife Neenah 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 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.

Entertainment Rating: 0/10

Yes I’m afraid that really is a zero out of ten on the entertainment rating, it’s not a mistake. This film was the worst thing I have watched in a very long time! I know that’s horrible to say but I’m not going to lie and say that I enjoyed it at all, once I had finished watching it I felt like demanding the two hours of my life back that it wasted. The only thing I would use this film for is as a torture device for a worst enemy, it would make them cry it was so awful.

Instead of being post-apocalyptic this film could have been mistaken for a very bad early civilization film. Nobody, bar two of the characters coud read anymore and yet they all spoke perfect english it was a miracle. I spent the majority of the film feeling like they were trying to steal other bits from better films, unfortunately for them on putting all these pieces together they created a pile of rubbish.

Even the actors seemed to lack enthusiasm, one of the reasons I watched the film was because Sean Bean was in it and he’s a bloody good actor, but it was a very disappointing outcome. I’m not even going to suggest that anybody goes to watch it for themselves as I would feel bad for wasting your time. If you ever become bored and curious enough to watch this film I’d love to hear your opinion. I know I have been a harsh judge on The Lost Future but I feel that is all it deserves.
