‘In the Lost Lands’ Review: Dave Bautista and Milla Jovovich Take a Dystopian-Future Road Trip
Werewolf Western meets sword-and-sorcery sci-fi in Paul W.S. Anderson’s 'In the Lost Lands,' derived from a short story by George R.R. Martin.
While angled a bit differently, the general aesthetic approach here is familiar from having been refined through the “Resident Evil” installments that made a name for the director-star couple: Visual notes of gothic horror, steampunk and video game graphics; slo-mo and muted color palettes; outlandish stunts further pushed over the top by CGI. But that surface is always engaging, thanks in considerable part to the accomplished work of production designer Lukasz Trzcinski, costumer Milena Jaroszek, and visual effects supervisor Dennis Berardi, not to mention Glen MacPherson’s handsome widescreen cinematography and editor Niven Howie’s ever-alert pace. Lending “In the Lost Lands” a character at least somewhat distinct from prior collaborations is the evoking of a Western flavor during the film’s midsection, as the two leads race across desolate regions pursued by Ash’s de facto posse.
