Omer Levent A group of young people like cliche american movies fall in the middle of a secret or something. The film is a classic American film. The director obviously wanted to remove the film from this classics. He tried to make a difference in the cliché but could not save the film. It was surprised that his character was not a hero later. The strangling woman is also a separate comic.The end of the film is really nice. The last 20 minutes it was not as classic as it was put.Other than that, he did not die first in fatness.The things that attract Filmin down are:It was a classic.The players were bad.The characters were simple.The film was of good quality.The shooting mistake is too much.The so-called secret was ridiculous, but it was not bad anyway.

suite92 In the opening sequence, a woman archaeologist and her team make a big discovery, a skull that is not quite human. At least the team was very excited about it. The Church sends Gallo to dispatch her, which he does.We do a jump shift to a boat at sea. Anna, Tom, Joe, Alexis, and Chris are on their way to a potentially rich business meeting. They rescue a man that's been left to drift at sea. He's out of his mind, for some reason. When most people are asleep, the rescued man takes control of steering and crashes the boat into an island.Their advanced location devices fail, but the radio works, and they give the Coast Guard their last approximate position.They find left over equipment from Gansis Research, which is supposedly connected to NYU. They also encounter someone/something which has a cheesy invisibility screen; shades of Predator. The next morning, Tom and the Gansis gear are both gone. The remaining four pursue.Something picks off Alexis, lifting her into the canopy, then dropping her to the ground.The three survivors find a video that they watch. It involves the 'lost tribe' a missing link (or dead end?) in human evolution. Supposedly the Roman Catholic Church would be upset about this since this would 'prove' that God did not create man on the sixth day.Gallo kills Joe, and was about to kill Anna, when something kills him instead. It was one of the lost tribe, who scares Anna, but goes back into the jungle.Chris is barely alive, and Anna watches the lost tribe Alpha Male kill him for a snack. The copying of Predator is repeated in regard to camouflage, and the lone survivor against heavy odds.Will Anna survive? Will the Coast Guard arrive in time?------Scores------Cinematography: 8/10, Gorgeous in daylight exteriors, better than usual in dark scenes. The final 10 minutes or so looked like it had a different cinematographer of lesser talent.Sound: 10/10 Nicely done.Acting: 8/10 Better than I expected.Screenplay: 6/10 Was it ever adequately explained why anyone would care about this lost tribe? No. Could a skinny, non-athletic woman survive any hit by these ultra-strong animals? No. Yet she survives what, 15 or so, plus a forty foot drop from a tree? I don't think so.

Wuchak Released in 2010, "The Lost Tribe" tells the story of a group of five people who become shipwrecked. The island they wash-up on shows signs of an abandoned archaeological dig and a mysterious pack of primordial ape-men.There's also an interesting subplot concerning evidence of the missing link found at the dig site and the Roman Church sending a hit-man (Lance Hendriksen) to terminate the evidence, including the scientists. Yet don't let this keep you from seeing the film if you find Darwin's theory dubious because, in the story, it's never proved that the ape-like creatures ARE the missing link. They could just as well be a previously undiscovered species of ape, like gorillas.I was surprised at how well-made the film is, particularly after reading all the negative reviews. Although this may be a low-budget flick, it's clear that filmmakers are total professionals. The photography, score, actors, locations, editing, F/X, gore, etc. are all excellent (not that I care about gore, but gorehounds will want to know).Unfortunately, there are some problems that force my rating down. First of all, there are the blatant rip-offs from "Predator." Just look at the DVD cover for proof. However, even though the film steals quite a few elements of "Predator," there are enough differences that make it distinct. For instance, the beasts aren't aliens, there are no commandos, the story revolves around a group of castaways, and the main protagonist is a woman.Speaking of women, the film should be commended for including the beautiful Brianna Brown as one of the castaways. This provides the perfect opportunity to have Brianna prance around in some alluring island attire, sorta like cutie Beth Rogan in the original "Mysterious Island" and a couple of the actresses in "Touristas." Unfortunately, the filmmakers have Brianna dressed in one of those long skirts that women put over their bikinis. So we have this gorgeous, shapely woman and they dress her in a floor-length skirt during the entire island sequence of the movie? Absurd.Another problem is that there's not much depth to the characters and the story beyond the deep love of two main characters and the sometimes-moving music. Still, that's more depth than films like "Anaconda 3," lol.The film runs 100 minutes and was shot in Panama.FINAL WORD: "The Lost Tribe" is professionally made and mixes together elements of "Predator," "Touristas," "Dead Calm" and "The Descent." The ape creatures are excellently done and totally brutal, but the film borrows a little too heavily from "Predator." Plus there's not much depth beyond the love story and moving music, which makes for a strangely uncompelling watch. Still, it's well worth your while if you're into these kinds of movies.GRADE: Borderline C+/B-

doyourpep Where do you begin with this movie! The movie starts with an almost entirely unrelated and totally unexplained subplot. This subplot boils down to a group of scientist found the missing link in the Caribbean, not Africa or Asia where the earliest hominids have been found. That's not at all though! The church finds out that the missing link is found and sends in an assassin (Bishop from Alien). All of this has almost nothing to do with the movie though!The real plot begins and were introduced to five forgettable individuals. After some poor character development and attempted tension between the characters the creatures are introduced. Naturally, when the survivors' "leader" goes missing the four remaining survivors split-up because it ensures the highest chance of survival. Two people return to the beach or attempt to, but are chased and then are forgotten for the next 40 minutes. Meanwhile the two who continue searching are ambushed by Bishop. He kills some fat guy and then chases the main girl before being killed by a creature. With the creatures hot on her tail she discovers the creature have a weakness. Their infrared vision is blocked by grape juice! This is where the movie just falls apart. The main character infiltrates the creature village and searches for her boyfriend. The fate of her two friends is learned, shocker they're dead. Anyway she finds her boyfriend who has had his spine removed but is living and moving rather well for lacking a spinal cord. She smothers him to death with kisses and flees the village, creatures in hot pursuit. She has a final standoff with the creatures where we discover their bodies are the evil gorillas from Congo and their faces are from Predator, it was totally original though. She kills the alpha male and the creatures just walk off she happily leaves her Caribbean vacation and sails for home. One thing that annoyed me about this movie they make a point of pointing out the large cranial capacity of the creatures which split from modern humans when they developed. That was 200,000 years ago, sure it took us awhile but we mastered the planet in that time and flew into the stars. These creatures who are supposed to be the closest living relatives to humans haven't even developed clothing.
