A Journey to Nowhere

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2017)

"The Lost City of Z" is an ambitious movie (based on fact) regarding Percival Fawcett, an English explorer who sets his sites on Bolivia. He learns of a "lost city" and decides if he should discover such a place, it could change history. He finds traces of such a city on his first outing, but is so ridiculed and doubted by his fellow Brits, he realizes he will receive no further help and must now look for the City on his own.
The movie is well acted, directed, and the cinematography is absolutely breathtaking. It is rather slow, but there is so much covered in the film, you need time to process everything thrown at you. Personally, I always had a sense of dread during the movie. Mr. Fawcett explored a jungle that had never been explored before and encountered mostly cannibalistic tribes during his searches.
The movie is rated PG-13 for violence and adult situations.
