Jungle Cruise

WHY

This new blockbuster from Disney is similar to Pirates of the Caribbean in many ways and that’s a good thing ! Like Pirates, it is also the adaptation of one of their most popular attractions and offers a great adventure experience! Led by Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson on an Amazonian escapade in search of a tree of life, the story is interesting to follow and pay homage to the great adventure films like Indiana Jones, The Mummy and more recently Pirates of the Caribbean. Dwayne Johnson plays perfectly the hero full of testosterone and pride but the character of Emily Blunt is not put aside, it is even her who leads the plot and most of the action sequences. The film is really pleasant with its secondary characters such as the leopard or Emily’s brother without forgetting its humor. We also discover with surprise a new version of Nothing Else Matters that Metallica rewrote with the composer of the film, James Newton Howard. On their side, the villains of the story are rather successful especially Jesse Plemons as a German prince at the controls of his submarine. The film perfectly fulfills its objective of entertainment, you just have to fasten your seatbelt and enjoy this excellent show full of impressive sequences and surprises!

WHAT

Join fan favorites Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt for the adventure of a lifetime on Disney’s “Jungle Cruise,” a rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon with wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton. Lily travels from London, England to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank’s questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila—his ramshackle-but-charming boat. Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities—possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. But as the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes reach even higher for Lily and Frank and their fate—and mankind’s—hangs in the balance.
