George R. R. Martin's latest film now accessible for streaming on Netflix.
In the realm of streaming entertainment, "In The Lost Lands" has been making waves, offering a blend of action, horror, and graphic violence that has earned it an R rating. Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, the film has seen a resurgence on Netflix, with its dark, moody setting and post-apocalyptic story gaining traction among viewers.
The movie stars Dave Bautista and Milla Jovovich, with Bautista portraying a guide named Boyce. Jovovich, on the other hand, takes on the role of Gray Alys, a character in search of a magical power. The film is based on a short story by George R.R. Martin, the acclaimed author of the "Game of Thrones" series.
However, the critical reception for "In The Lost Lands" has been predominantly negative. With a 23% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has been criticised for its weak, convoluted plot, poor dialogue, low-quality special effects, and lack of character development and chemistry between leads. Some reviews describe it as a "mess" with "no real continuity," a "boring slog," and its story and characters as generic or underdeveloped.
Despite this, the film has found a modestly positive response online, particularly among niche audiences, such as fantasy loyalists. These viewers have praised its campy B-movie appeal and certain stylish visuals. The film has become a trending title on streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime, especially in regions like the UK, Ireland, Poland, Brazil, and New Zealand.
The film's streaming success is evident in its rapid rise up Netflix's charts. It has even managed to secure the number 2 spot in the UK/Ireland Netflix Top 10. In Poland, it holds the number 1 spot on Amazon. The film has also seen some traction in Brazil and other countries.
While critics may have been unimpressed, fans of the movie have a higher rating for "In The Lost Lands", at 47%. The film, set in a bleak, Dark Souls-like world, offers a unique blend of action, horror, and fantasy that has found a niche audience. Despite its initial lack of fanfare during its theatrical run in 2025, it seems that "In The Lost Lands" has found a second life on streaming platforms.
