Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The film has impressive visuals for a TV movie, and I enjoyed the subtle use of music during some scenes as opposed to the overbearing music Hollywood blockbusters love so much. It made me focus more on what was actually happening. The casting was also relatively good. (I must be honest, though, I did find Sean Bean's character, Amal, a bit unexplored).The film does borrow heavily from 'The Time Machine' with regards to plot (to a certain extent) and make-up, and especially the way some of the beasts move. Some of the explanations on their knowledge of the past will have you raise an eyebrow, but lets just overlook that and enjoy this fantasy action adventure for its intended purpose: to entertain. And entertain it certainly does. The film features some great sets and locations, and the cinematography was very good, as well.There's plenty of action and adventure here, and there were even some very effective, unexpected scares! Although I might not watch it again in a hurry, it was well worth the watch.

When I said that since Lord of the Rings (both the books and the movies) was released pretty much most sci-fi/fantasy writers have attempted to follow the same format and exceed Tolkien's masterpiece. Pretty much everybody who has attempted this has failed. This movie is no exception.The movie is about a quest to find yellow powder which is the cure to a disease that has ravaged to earth. Our heroes begin in a village cut off from the rest of the world and up until know is protected from the beasts, people who have become infected by the disease and turned into rampaging mutants. The powder sort of cures you (if you have been infected) but once you turn, that is it. The powder also makes you immune, and all that is needed is a whiff.The hero starts off wanting to explore the wider world, and slips off at night only to discover that the village is being attacked by beasts. While most of the village hides in a cave, it is only a matter of time before they all die, so the three trapped outside decide to go on a quest to find the cure. They meet up with a ranger, but after they are attacked, they are separated and the three young heroes travel to the remains of a city where they find the yellow powder.Most of these quest adventure type films are all in the vein of Lord of the Rings. Okay, there were similar stories before, but Lord of the Rings pretty much changed the landscape. It is not only the story of the struggle that somebody who is powerless experiences, but it is also a quest to deal with an evil that is threatening the world. In this film it is humanities own arrogance that set the world down this path.Not the most wonderful film out there, and this is noticeable as it is pretty much a straight to DVD release. Something to watch if you haven't seen it before, don't mind the Lord of the Rings Genre, and really have nothing better to do.

Wow, the reviews on this movie are all over the place. Is it garbage? Is it an overlooked gem? Well, a little of both.If you've ever been househunting, you've run into houses that had "good bones" - good solid construction, nice layout, good plumbing, electrical, etc..... but these homes often have ugly carpeting, out-of-date wallpaper, and a kitchen and bath that need a MAJOR redo. That's this movie.Overall, the movie has an interesting premise, a lot of fun action, characters that you care about and gorgeous scenery. Good bones. Unfortunately, the movie also suffers from silly mistakes and sloppy writing that needlessly diminish it. The scene, for example, where the characters come across leeches for, apparently the first time in their lives (though they are in a body of water IN the village), then in the next scene they refer to these creatures casually as "leeches". What? A second ago they were horrified and baffled at the sight of them! Or the fact that when attacked, they all cry out, "To the Cave!" and all run to what is apparently their Emergency Back-Up Cave (complete with an emergency "door" that seals them in).... yet strangely, the cave has no food nor water stored in it, and they are soon worried about this - understandably.These minor, but frustratingly inane situations occur with sad frequency - but my hubby and I kept with the film because... it does have good bones, just ugly carpeting.Really ugly carpeting.Just watch the film imagining hardwood floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. LOL!:)

In a post-apocalyptic world, a group of survivors led by Uri (Tertius Meintjes) and the ancients are organized in tribe, in a primitive society without technology and lives in a small village in the Grey Rock National Park surrounded by beasts that transmit a disease that transforms the victims in mutants. Uri's son Savan (Corey Sevier) is the best hunter of their tribe and successor of his father, while Kaleb (Sam Claflin) is the best tracker and together with his sister Miru (Eleanor Tomlinson), they are the only survivors that can read and writer. Their father Jaret believed that it might exist other survivors outside Grey Rock and left them alone to wander around the area. Kaled is a dreamer and secretly loves Savan's woman Dorel (Annabelle Wallis). When the beats surprisingly attack Uri's hamlet, a group runs to a cave and block the entrance with logs. Kaleb saves Dorel from a beast and sooner Savan meets them. Out of the blue, the stranger Amal (Sean Bean) approaches to the trio and invites them to join his family, composed by his wife Neenah (Jessica Haines) and their son Persk that lives in the outskirt of Grey Rock protected by a river. Sooner Amal discloses to them that Jaret had found the formula of a yellow powder that cures the sick persons. However, the evil Gagen (Jonathan Pienaar) had stolen the powder and kept with him. Amal, Savan, Kaleb and Dorel travel together to find Gagen and bring the yellow powder to their tribe.Yesterday I saw "The Lost Future" and based on the 4.7 IMDb User Rating, I found it an underrated adventure. The story is entertaining and Sean Bean and the unknown actors and actresses have good performances. The special effects are decent and fortunately I did not give credit to the bitter users that were not able to appreciate a pleasant adventure. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "O Futuro Perdido" ("The Lost Future")
