One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Good concept, poorly executed.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

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.

I cannot believe how surprisingly good The Lost Future was. I mean there have been some surprisingly tolerable SyFy movies, but even they have too many mediocre moments to be above very good status. In my honest opinion, a vast majority of SyFy's output isn't worth bothering with.The Lost Future was surprisingly good, and for me too good a movie to be airing on the SyFy Channel. Perhaps the ending could have been a little more, that said, The Lost Future is handsomely photographed and the few special effects there are done with care. The music fits with the movie very well, the script while having the odd cheesy moment is mostly entertaining and the story has a great concept that is told and explored better than you would expect, in fact this story actually feels as though it was written by somebody who cared about it, you find that with very few SyFy productions.The direction is better than average too, the action is choreographed with skill and is compelling as is the acting, with the always solid Sean Bean giving one of the better performances of any movie aired on the SyFy Channel. Overall, this was surprisingly good and miles above anything SyFy has done. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Okay this has been done before so do not expect anything really original here. It's Syfy working together with a German cable TV company so don't expect a big budget either.The story is set in the future were a tribe of people have to hunt for their survival. There was a plague were humans would turn into half-beasts when they would come into contact with people who carry the disease. The tribe comes under siege by a group of these savages and three of them are going to get help.The acting is quite good actually. The scenery is almost breathtaking and film work good. The big flaw in this movie is that people are clean and pretty. I mean, come one, they hunt like savages and live in huts and caves. Yet they look like they just came from the beauty salon! Yet the movie is still quite enjoyable if you don't expect another Mad Max.

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")
