Review of The Art of Travel (2008) by Mark A — 20 Oct 2008

Stunning scenery, interesting characters, decent acting, but a lackluster plot add up to make this a bit of a disappointment. I didn't necessarily need a Hollywood, feel good ending, but it needed some spark to make it memorable and all we got was a little "pfft".

There was so much I could not buy about the story. There were a lot of unanswered whys. Why were they hacking their way across the jungle? Why did the couple entice Conner to join them? Why did it take Conner so long to hook up with the girl and why did he leave her? Why? I think this was just a vehicle, an excuse to film in some incredible locations.

And the promise is that there will be more to come. Oh, joy. Watch it for the scenery, but don't expect much from the story.
