Characters – Michelle is the presenter of the documentary and we barely see her do any presenting, we have a small moment early on but otherwise the camera spends a lot of time to following her ass on screen. Professor Howson is the expect in the field and meant to be the star alongside Michelle in the documentary, he must lead them to safety through the rainforest. Rob is the second in command being a lot more laid back when dealing with any danger believing in his own abilities. James is the cameraman that at one moment states the obvious, another moment does all the stupid things and somewhere along the lines becomes the bravest member of the crew.
Performance – The performances from the whole cast are fine, where the cast are not big-name actors which brings us into the found footage idea perfectly and nobody seems to overact through the film.
Story – Documentary crew heads into the rainforest to look for new species and they find some, but they are deadly, this is all we need from the film as a story, there are no major twists but it does take a while to get going as we must watch, walking, collecting moss, running and rocks for a lot of the time.
Adventure/Thriller – The adventure comes from the idea that we could be finding new species in the deepest darkest corners of the world and we are kept guess just who will make it out of the rainforest alive.
Settings – The rainforest is filled with species we might not have discovered yet, so this works for the settings needed for the film to take places.
Special Effects – The effects are a mixed bag, some parts of them are good while others feel like someone just stuck a dinosaur into the shot with CGI.
Scene of the Movie – Can’t sense us if we don’t move.
That Moment That Annoyed Me – Camera crew inside the tent ‘there is something out there, I can’t see anything’ this dialogue is why films get a bad name.
Final Thoughts – This does feel like a long-found footage film that could have been cut down by a good 20 minutes to fit the idea of a found footage concept that works, short sweat and plenty of fun.
Overall: Watchable found footage.

Loved that Jimmy gave Flynn that time!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is book 2 in the Falling for You series. I have not read book 1, Falling for the Professor. As far as I can tell, that book sort of runs alongside this one and so I don't think it matters if you read that one or not. I want to now go back and read that book, because Angus plays a part here and you can pick things up as you go along.
Flynn moves to Leeds to get away from his ex, after their marriage ends. He knows that Jimmy, the ex's twin brother is at uni in Leeds but he never expected to reconnect. Because Jimmy hates Flynn, right?? One drunken night later, and Flynn is questioning everything he thought he knew about Jimmy and the ex' Billy.
I loved this!!
It's wonderful, it really is. A different take on the "my ex's brother" theme and I loved how it was delivered.
Jimmy is VERY different from his brother, Billy. And Flynn realises that quickly. But Flynn loved Billy and still does, and his feelings for Jimmy are confusing him greatly. I loved that Jimmy is patient, he has been waiting for Flynn for years. He knows that Flynn needs time to work through his feelings and emotions about everything and he will wait.
I loved that Jimmy gave Flynn that time. Flynn is trying to come to terms with the end of his marriage, but when others point out how Billy treated him, it makes Flynn think. When you are in that sort of relationship, you really do not see what's happening but after? The red flags are all there. And Flynn needs to come to terms with what Billy did to him.
But when Billy finds out?? The man takes it to the next level and Flynn's blinkers are left in the dust and he can see things much more clearly.
I loved that Jimmy's parents were happy for Flynn and Jimmy. They saw them together years ago, before Billy, so they were really pleased by it all.
AND!!
First person, present tense and multi POV! And I loved it! Maybe I'm getting over my dislike of books written this way, I didn't even notice til I was writing this review and filing it. SO, very well played!
