Disney’s Jungle Cruise is a 2021 adventure fantasy film based on the Walt Disney’s theme park of the same name. The planing of this film started way back in 2004 but after a lot changes and delays it finally reached the audience in 2021. And for these kind of themes we all know that Dwayne The Rock Johnson is the perfect choice as we all love to watch him.
Now the film has a background story. In the 16th century, Spanish conquistadors comes to South America in search of the Tears of the Moon, a mythical tree whose petals cures any illness or injury, and lifts any curse. After most of the conquistadors die in the jungle, a local tribe saves the life of few with the tree petals. When the tribal chief refuses to reveal the tree’s location, they kill the chief and destroy the village. The dying chief curses the conquistadors so they can never leave sight of the Amazon River or else the jungle will claim them for all eternity.
Dr. Lily (Emily Blunt), is working on this legendary story and want to discover the Tears of Moon, to help people and bring revolution to the world. With her brother’s help she gained access to the key, which can help finding the Tree.
Frank (Dwayne Johnson) is a tour guide for Amazon River with a boat whom Lily and her brother hire to take them to desired location in search of Tears of the Moon and the adventure begins. But they are not the only one after it.
Who, where, when and how? To know all that you need to watch the movie. And we all know that these kind of adventure films are always on our watch list.
If we talk about the reviews then this one also got mixed reviews by critic. And movies like Journey, Jumanji make our hopes high even before watching.
The Adventure of jungle Cruise were a bit less adventurous and my point of view is, this could have been a lot better and with more animals as well. The chemistry between Dwayne and Emily is great but the story was sloppy and so were the CGI effects.
It felt like that it was more of a snake island only then the Amazon jungle and river and a lot animals were missing to give more thrill to the ride. But still the film is watchable and we can always watch such concepts.
Rating: 6.5/10
