In the midst of the First World War, the "Spanish woman" is raging all over Europe (and not only), which claimed more lives than any weapon on both sides of the front. Doctor of Botany Lily Houghton (Emily Blunt) He believes that thousands of lives can be saved if an expedition to the Amazon is assembled and the Tree of Life is found there — a mythical plant whose flowers, according to legend, cure any ailments. Of course, no one gives her funding — both because the idea sounds crazy, and because she is a woman (which is even a bigger stop sign for the geographical community than the wildness of the entire enterprise). Then, having stolen an important artifact that can point to the location of the Tree, Lily, along with her brother, goes to Brazil herself and there finds a cunning tourist guide Frank (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), who agreed to take her through the numerous tributaries of the Amazon (though with some secret goals of his own). At the same time, a German prince (Jesse Plemons) is trying to find the Tree, who wants to use it to defeat Germany in the war, as well as a detachment of the cursed conquistador Aguirre (yes, the one about whom Werner Herzog filmed his "Wrath of God"), wandering through the jungle for hundreds of years.
It's not every day that original big blockbusters come out nowadays — to be more specific, they come out so rarely that one would like to treat the few exceptions in absentia with some reverence. In general, what the industry had to bring us to, so that a film like "Jungle Cruise" felt almost like a breath of fresh air. Not because it is particularly good, and not because it is at least somewhat innovative. But simply because for once Disney did not make a live-action remake of the old cartoon, but tried to make new "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Comparing "Cruise" with "Pirates" is probably a thankless task. But there is no escaping this parallel, there are too many similar terms. Both are based on an attraction from Disneyland, both have an exotic historical setting with a bit of mysticism, there is an ambiguous trickster character played by a terribly popular actor, and among the antagonists are damned adventurers (only here conquistadors, not pirates) in half with ambitious opportunists (Jesse Plemons plays, in fact, the local Lord Beckett, only where more caricatured). If you dig a little deeper, there are actually even more similarities: in characters, in narrative structure, and, perhaps, in intonation. If this movie had been released in the early fifties, he would certainly have been accused of an unprincipled attempt to walk along the beaten path of Gore Verbinski — for the same they scolded, say, the quite tolerable "Prince of Persia" with Gyllenhaal. But now, in a world captured by gray superheroics, no one seems to mind outright epigony. At least Cruise knows who to follow.
How well he does it is a completely different question. For a movie based on an attraction, "Jungle Cruise" sorely lacks this very attraction. Jaume Collet-Serra, mostly known for action movies with Liam Neeson, is still far from Gore Verbinski: he does not have the vision and handwriting of a born blockbuster director, and he is clearly not so good at building complex large-scale action episodes (to his credit, few people can). As soon as the active action begins in "Cruise", the movie instantly turns into a standard Disney action movie of recent years, one of those that they now send straight to streaming: almost entirely made in close-ups, with a barely concealed chromakey in the background and a camera afraid to show at least one trick without mounting glues every couple of seconds
