140 minute running time so at least 40 minutes too long … I had to watch it at 4x ffwd ... no subtitles ... period piece ... about a British explorer, Percy Fawcett, his travels to the Amazon at the turn of the century, mapmaking, but ended up searching for a lost civilization ... life interrupted by WWI ... injured in combat ... got Royal Geographical Survey gold medal ... went back to Amazon multiple times, final trip taken with his son ... both disappeared, presumed killed by “savages.” I wasn't into it, and it was way too long, but probably not a bad movie for people interested in early 20th C. explorers.

Mick LaSalle wasn’t thrilled: “…if Fawcett were pursuing some noble end, then it might be worth our while to sit and watch his struggle.“

… a man’s reach should exceed his grasp.
