Great true historical movie

Rating: 7/10 (11 June 2017)

I really enjoyed this movie. There was great balance between the time spent in the jungle and time at home in England. Generally the movie moved along at a good pace, though there were some parts that dragged a little bit. The special effects were great and kudos to the make up crew who did a great job making Charlie Hunnam and Sienna Miller age gracefully from young adulthood into middle age. The ending was both hopeful and heartbreaking, really making you wonder what ever became of Fawcett. The scenery was breathtaking and the challenges of the Amazon seemed very real.
