What is advertised as a thriller and possibly a horror is really a Christian sales film. That if you believe in God just enough, he will save you from: dehydration, African lions, poachers, hyenas, a plane crash, a long time bad guy, scorpions, snakes, and a horrible wife.
We get to see some beautiful shots of a plush African park, I'm assuming it is millions of miles from where our actors were actually filming. As well, it was so pristine from above...and then we see our actors in what seems like a Sahara desert situation mere minutes from it. They talk of a river they just flew over, and how much water is the most valuable factor. Yet going towards said river is never a choice.
As well, and good lord please. At the site of their plane crash. There is an obvious set of tire trends, known in "hunting parks" and "picture parks" as the WAY OUT. Just follow the road dummy. It takes you right back to the hotel.
If you plan to film a movie, where your people are stranded in the middle of nowhere, make sure there's no visible signs of PEOPLE.
Next. The lions. And all male pride of super healthy lions. I could "say" it's because they have placed them in the park for big game hunters to all be able to come there and all have a chance to take down a big cat and it be a male lion. But, for them to all be getting along, have no visible fighting scars to show who's been making themselves top kitty? And being so well fed without any females? Right? Not likely. And to all suddenly be ok to hunt people (or come near them regardless), when they know they come into the park regularly with guns just to kill them? In the daytime? Again? Nope.
Leopards...now they will be happy to do so. And we saw zero.
This is a Daniel into the lions den film. With some scares. A Christian sales film. Stupid.
I would recommend instead to watch Prey that came out in 2007. Or obviously The Ghost in the Darkness that came out in 1996.
If you want to see some somewhat staged but ACTUAL African wildlife and survival. Then Naked and Afraid does some episodes and full year events in Africa.
