Cinematic Experience

Critics’ Reviews

• Unbrokenmetal (2/10): The film’s expedition to find a lost family member becomes a chaotic blend of CGI monsters, whiny voices shouting “Dad!” incessantly, and inexplicable plot twists. It’s a B-movie that struggles to find its footing.
• Bonniath-13968 (4/10): While the movie suffers from unrealistic CGI creatures, it manages to entertain. The brother-sister duo’s constant cries of “Dad!” can be grating, but if you’re in the mood for mindless adventure, give it a shot.
• Staunton-Gary (1/10): Despite bad acting, Alyson Gorske and Wade Hunt Williams salvage some scenes. Perfect for a rainy day when you crave mindless escapism.

Trivia

• “Jungle Run” was strategically released on June 25th, 2021, just before the premiere of Disney’s “Jungle Cruise” (scheduled for July 30, 2021).
• Keep an eye out for a curious goof: At 31:00, a line is visible attached to the stern of the boat, even though it’s supposed to be moving down the river.

Release Date: June 25, 2021¹
