You can't get into it.

Rating: 4/10 (5 July 2018)

The story, fascinating as it is based on a true life, is hard to pin down and get into it. No time did I feel trapped and feel exhausted by empathy while watching this film, although I am sure shooting this film would have been torturous. For that reason, they could've used real life events on film to incorporate the tension of going through a jungle would be like (especially the amount of gear you need).
It really lacks in any emotional punch - nowt. It would have the actors at breaking points with filming in such conditions, then why not use this to the viewer's advantage? You need that sort of exploitation to tell this particular story.
It was far too comfortable.

How did they ever keep on travelling back? To and fro throughout the film, and nothing of these particular journeys except of some parts of getting "there" (many theres in this film).
Too big of a life for such a small film. Fixate on one aspect of life I would suggest - just pick one of these events and pull out the emotional and physical effort needed to draw on.
In the end, dull - I am sure not because of the effort of crew and actors. But it was dull.
