Lost city doesn’t belong on the list but I enjoyed it. Hokey mindless entertainment If you watch it be sure to watch through the credits. Amazon running a special on paramount channel
I enjoyed Lost City. Not a great movie and not on the “best of” lists, but it was harmless, fun entertainment. A throwback film.
P.S. Lost City wasn't on any of the lists I linked, but it does show up on a number of "best of 2022" lists from other sources. It has become a habit for me to glance at these lists reflexively when I come across them. It only takes a minute or two to scan a list, and only a bit longer if I read the descriptions and watch a couple of trailers.
Lost City shows up on the lists that are oriented more towards the big studio tentpoles, which tend to be the films that get serious promotion and wide theatrical releases. If a list has a lot of the spandex and action films, it probably includes Lost City. It also shows up on lists that are driven by box office appeal and user scores. Sure it's a silly, escapist genre film. And there's nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed it.
It stands out to me as a film that looks like everyone involved had an absolute blast while making it. Maybe that wasn't the case in real life, but it comes across as a movie where the director walked in the first day and said, "Let's have fun doing this." It's a bunch of A-list stars acting silly and selling it.
