In the Lost Lands Reviews
The plot feels predictable and lacks the depth necessary to transcend its striking aesthetic. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 22, 2025
Sometimes junk cinema can be entertaining, but in this case, junk is just junk.

...if there's one thing that stands out about Lost Lands, it's the excellent cinematography and lighting, turning everything into gray, blue, or red tones. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 20, 2025
The narrative always feels episodic, disjointed, as if it lacks a true cause for the events that happen, seemingly unmotivated. [Full review in Spanish]

…How do you spend $55 million getting Dave Bautista and Milla Jovovich to stand around spouting gibberish in front of green screens in a studio in, checks notes, Poland?...In The Lost Lands is something of a shambles on every possible level...
| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 12, 2025
Monstrosity of a fairy-tale film.
| Original Score: C | Apr 6, 2025
Based on a short story by George R.R. Martin, this bloody sci-fi fantasy has some good twists and a nifty ending, but the bulk of it is unforgivably awkward, wooden, and slapdash.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 4, 2025
In the Lost Lands is 75 percent exposition, surrounded by 100 percent artificial backdrops, creatures, and other dismal effects
| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 26, 2025
Both visually and narratively incomprehensible, it functions as a vehicle for wrestler-turned-serious-actor Dave Bautista, who unfortunately finds himself in exactly the wrong kind of film for someone who wants to be regarded with respect

All the ingredients for “In the Lost Lands” are great, but it never adds up to a rousing movie. While it feels as if the film rushed through the material, if it was longer, it would have been torture. It is a middling movie

This cinematic escapade feels like a relic from an era when spectacle could mask shallow storytelling. While In the Lost Lands offers fleeting glimpses of brilliance and Bautista’s earnest performance is commendable...
| Original Score: 3/ 5 | Mar 22, 2025
Anderson really knows how to keep the guilty pleasures going -- "Lost Lands" looks great, moves at a clip, and never takes itself too seriously. There have been a lot of bigger, more pretentious fantasy flicks of late that were less fun than this one.
| Mar 22, 2025
Neither Bautista nor Jovovich can elevate this ugly-looking misfire. Fans of entertaining fantasy action need not apply.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 19, 2025
Anderson’s commitment to his vision results in some entertaining moments throughout the heroes’ perilous journey... An uninspiring plot filled with underwritten characters and motivations, however, prevents this movie from meeting its potential.
| Original Score: 3'5 | Mar 19, 2025
In The Lost Lands finds its way whenever there is action, but the talking bits are best forgotten.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 18, 2025
As much as I love a bad movie, this is just too much. You broke me, Anderson.
| Original Score: F | Mar 17, 2025
Set in a dystopian world blending modern and medieval elements, the film fails to create an engaging atmosphere, often leaving the audience confused rather than immersed.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 17, 2025
A mind-numbing waste of George R.R. Martin’s source material, where the author’s intrigue and lore has been significantly watered down in favour of generic and personality-free post-apocalyptic action slop where everything looks and feels artificial.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 17, 2025
A paper thin plot, chemistry-less leads, and visuals that would've been dated even in the 90s. It's honestly the perfect recipe for a camp classic but can't even deliver on that.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 16, 2025
With In The Lost Lands, auteur Anderson paints with the most delicious desolation imaginable, all to his trademark throbbing soundtrack beats.
| Original Score: 9.5/10 | Mar 15, 2025
