It is wise not to look at the theater version. This film is not only an adventure film exploring an unknown civilization, but also a mysterious classicism, with the thickness of history. It's hard to say clearly, what is the huge motivation that drives Percy into the jungle again and again to find Z City, and the desire for medal honor? The impulse to lead the western world to recognize the unknown civilization? Or is it Christian fatalism? Then what finally prompted Percy to admit his fate of failure? Charlie Hannum's single character is brave, upright, and steady, and seems to lead the answer to the positive side. The moving and disappointment grabbed me at the same time after the end of the movie. It is also difficult for me to make it clear. I admire this character and the story more than sympathy or vice versa.
The exotic geography, the mysterious attraction of nature, and the novelty of an unknown civilization are all outstanding elements of the film's guaranteed genre. I think people who are curious about the world will not be indifferent to such a story.
