"Jungle Voyage"--- an ordinary adventure film without highlights

"Jungle Voyage"

In addition to starring Dwayne Johnson, it is a well-established forest adventure movie. It's not cinematic, it's just a full-blown adventure story, but the story isn't that compelling either.

The Lily brothers and sisters wanted to find the Tears of the Moon and went on an adventure to the Amazon River. They met Captain Frank who was sealed and cursed 400 years ago, and then the captain took the brothers and sisters on an adventure. In the end, Lily fell in love with Frank for a long time on a thrilling journey. After fighting with the submarine captain and the seal demon, she successfully got the petals that unseal the curse seal and rescued Frank.

If this movie is a book, it should be very good. Readers can expand their imagination and fill in the blanks of the picture with imagination. However, when it becomes a movie, it is lackluster. Whether it is the previous "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Tomb Raider", they are much better than this kind of film. As a matter of fact, the domestically produced "Looking for the Dragon" is on top of this film.

The film is produced by the Disney Company. Frank's pet leopard is really real, and the rendering is no different from the real animal. The animal's movement control is very precise. For the first time, fighting with Frank in the hotel and winning the trust of the Lily brothers and sisters, running, jumping, and biting are always the feeling of living animals. Later, when we get along on the boat, the animal's human side is vividly expressed, and it can always help humans at critical moments. The downside is that, although he is a leopard, he has no fierce fighting spirit at all. He is often at a disadvantage in dueling with others. Thinking about the story of Wu Song fighting a tiger, in contrast, I suddenly felt that Wu Song was nothing more than that.

The visual design of the whole film is very good, the warm tones of the early travel, the sudden icy blue tones of the jungle, and when the dead trees revive and bloom with purple flowers, the pictures in every link are suffocatingly beautiful. For the purpose of pleasing your own eyes, you can look at it.
