In the Lost Lands Finds Redemption on Streaming

by

In the Lost Lands, a 2025 fantasy/action film adapted from a short story, didn’t perform well in theaters earlier this year. However, despite its initial struggles, the movie is now gaining popularity on streaming services. It’s a surprising turn of events for the film.

According to FlixPatrol, In the Lost Lands is currently ranked #5 among the Global Top 10 Movies on Prime Video as of October 4, 2025. It’s the most popular movie in Paraguay and has an average ranking of 1.9 in the countries where it appears on the charts. Notably, these rankings don’t include the United States, where the film is available on Hulu. The movie was directed by and features Milla Jovovich, known for her role in Resident Evil, and Dave Bautista, famous from Guardians of the Galaxy.

In the Lost Lands is inspired by a short story from George R.R. Martin, first appearing in the 1982 fantasy collection Amazons II. The movie features Milla Jovovich as a witch and Dave Bautista as a hunter. They team up to journey through a perilous world, seeking a secret item for the queen. Their quest is filled with danger, and they’ll have to defeat various enemies-both human and demonic-along the way.

Despite having a dark, futuristic setting and a thrilling storyline, In the Lost Lands didn’t quite live up to expectations as another great adaptation of Martin’s work. It didn’t impress either reviewers or viewers. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film received a low score from 74 critic reviews. The site’s general opinion was that the movie wasted the potential of Martin’s original story and was simply ‘incomprehensible and unpleasant to watch.’

Viewers weren’t impressed, and the numbers reflect that. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of only 47% based on over 250 reviews. While streaming views could potentially improve that score, the box office results for In the Lost Land were already disappointing. Despite a $55 million production budget, the film only earned $6.1 million worldwide, making it a significant financial failure.

Milla Jovovich to Star in Even More Action Thrillers in the Future

I know In the Lost Lands wasn’t Milla Jovovich’s biggest hit, especially compared to her iconic role in The Fifth Element, but she’s already looking ahead! She’s promising even more awesome action and thrills for her fans, and I’m so excited! She actually has two movies wrapping up right now: Midnight, which stars Alexandra Shipp and Rosario Dawson, and World Breaker, a sci-fi project directed by Brad Anderson (who did The Machinist) and featuring Luke Evans. I can’t wait to see what she does next!

Jovovich is also involved in a promising horror film that’s currently in development. She’s set to lead the cast of Twilight of the Dead, which is planned as a zombie movie series. The film will bring her back together with Anderson, who previously directed Midnight, and will also feature Betty Gabriel, known for her role in Jack Ryan. For now, specific details about the plot and production are being kept confidential.

In the Lost Lands is now streaming on Prime Video internationally and on Hulu in the United States.
