In The Lost Lands Has A 17% On Rotten Tomatoes - Why It’s So Low
Critics Have Been Bashing In The Lost Lands
The latest effort from Anderson has received an extremely low Rotten Tomatoes score of 17% (viaRotten Tomatoes). Critics seem to unanimously agree that there are almost no redeeming qualities in this supposedly lifeless action movie.In Screen Rant’s review ofIn the Lost Lands, it is noted that Bautista actually delivers a decent performance, but the acting decisions Jovovich makes throughout the movie are very confusing, which is a huge problem since she is meant to be “the heart of the film.”
Beyond the acting,critics have also criticizedIn the Lost Landsfor being a very ugly movie. In their review of the film,IndieWiredescribedIn the Lost Landsas “an eyesore of a film” that is “so ugly and confusing to look at.” Additionally, in their review,The Hollywood Reporterclaims thatIn the Lost Landshas a “painfully muddy color scheme.” Therefore, based on these reviews and many others, it is clear thatIn the Lost Landsis not a good time at all.
How In The Lost Lands' Rotten Tomatoes Stacks Up With Milla Jovovich & Dave Bautista’s Other Movies
Paul W.S. Anderson Has Many Critically Panned Movies
It is not necessarily surprising that Bautista is potentially the only good thing aboutIn the Lost Lands, since he has starred in several critically acclaimed films and has proven that he’s a talented actor. Bautista has starred in bothDunemovies,Blade Runner 2049, and theGuardians of the Galaxytrilogy, which all have amazing reviews. However, among these hits, Bautista has also starred in some critically panned movies, such as bothMy Spymovies, and most recently,The Killer’s Game.

Milla Jovovich’s New Fantasy Movie Is A Big Risk 5 Years After $47 Million Disappointment
Milla Jovovich might be set up for yet another box office disappointment via her new film several years after her last failed video game adaptation.
Meanwhile, Jovovich is unfortunately more used to starring in poorly reviewed films.She has teamed up with Anderson on numerous occasions, and is actually married to him. Their most recent movie together,Monster Hunter,has a 44% on Rotten Tomatoes (viaRotten Tomatoes). Additionally, everyResident Evilmovie they made together has a Rotten score on the review aggregator. Therefore, even though it is disappointing thatIn the Lost Land’sratings are so low, it is not necessarily surprising given Jovovich and Anderson’s previous movies.
