Where's the climax?

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2017)

I wanted to see The Lost City of Z ever since I saw the trailers. To me, it looked like a more realistic version of Indiana Jones, if that makes sense. As I watched the movie, however, I quickly realized that this was more of a drama than a adventure story. But that was fine with me. I sat back and enjoyed myself as much as I could. This movie is really interesting in the way it talks about how far a man's obsession with something will take him. How much will someone give up to gain recognition? In that sense, I enjoyed this film. The acting was also pretty strong all around. Everyone gives a decent performance. One of my main gripes with this movie is the lack of a climax. The movie just kinda ends. It's not that we don't get a sense of closure. It's that this entire movie is building and building and building, and then just ends before we get to what we were building to. I guess this may have been the point, but I just felt like this film had no climax. I'm glad I saw it, but I will probably never watch it again. Unless I'm watching with someone who hasn't seen it yet maybe.
