That was an excellent one.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Tobias Burrows
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

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.

Theme is excellent material for a new long term series. Problem of "viewers" today is they actually stop love anything in life. That is why inspirational movies and series like this are usually banned from the start.World is simple place. Haters should stay in their world of hate, how rest of us could enjoy in exceptional show and good things in life.Now about the movie:Actors done a fine job. Much better than those in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) which hit $1.54B revenue. This is obvious proof how movies which is pushed by "global world elite" trough mass media and large fund marketing sold in enormous numbers.The Lost Future shows to much nature and to less metal for the "global elite" taste. Therefore it is not supported. Especially when bad guy an the end was defeated to easy, so automatically gives viewers (common people) to much hope and tyrants (global elite) to less power.Everything is psychology today, but question is how many people really wants to see it that way.

This film falls in between two genres; proper grown up movies with proper plots and real acting, and syfy type b movie camped up dross. Sean Bean was obviously brought into add some credibility to the proceedings but must have sat in his trailer wondering what on earth he had signed up for.As far as filming goes the camera work was competent although fight scenes were haphazard, largely to cover up a lack of effective cgi. The music was absolutely awful and added nothing to the proceedings. The backdrops were very good but weren't used very well.The biggest problem was the huge plot holes, literally everywhere. Some more obvious ones are listed below.SPOILER ALERT1 Cave - mentioned by other reviewers 2 Why were they living in the open? Surely a few hundred years after civilisation was wiped out, some semblance of building skills must have remained? 3 If the cavemen were surrounded by infected beasts, where were the traps etc? to protect themselves? 4 How did half a dozen men with rope bring down a giant sloth ten times bigger than a grizzly bear? And then proceed to not eat it, despite hunting it for food? On that note, if they were out of food to take such reckless action why were all the actors do flush with health? 5 Why were Sean a beans teeth so bad when he was the civilised one, yet the main hero cavemen were perfect? 6 How did the villain make it across the chasm after the bridge was destroyed and end up in camp five minutes after they arrived? Why didn't one of the men on horseback just shoot him instead of standing around waiting for him to load up his crossbow? 7 How can there be a sub tropical climate with climbers over old buildings yet the library full of old books he dusty, with no signs of any water damage to the books there? 8 Yellow powder - mentioned before by other reviewers.There are more but I am losing the will to live at this point so I'll leave it there.Best avoided unless your really bored or love had movies.

Here is a tip top made for TV Sci-Fi movie. The script is clever, the film belies it's budget looking fab with the South African locations and all the cast shine.The creature effects are excellent and the action gallops along with some style.I would of really liked to have seen this on a big cinema screen rather than my TV,big as it is, with the bloody adverts every 10 muns butting in.Another problem with watching films on TV here in the UK is the TV channel logo top right all the way through a film. Someone explain why? I know which station i am on. Anyway can't fault this film so it gets top marks from me mainly due to 60 years of not seeing this plot used before in the Sci-fi genre.Well worth your time or rent it without fear of the cost.
