All Is Lost Review

Note: My keyboar lost sensation in keys

All Is Lost

This is my review on All Is Lost from the distant future year to Roy Fokker of 2013 (10 years before Robotech II The Sentinels)

Its irectal by J. C. Chandor who did Kraven the Hunter 2024

It stars only Robert Redford from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid/Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here/Jeremiah Johnson/1974 The Great Gatsby/2006 Charlotte's Web/A Walk in the Woods/1963 The Twilight Zone/Lions For Lambs

Its got only 51 words in it and the title comes from Ernest William Hornung observation that when courage is lost, all is lost.

Like Yuma saying when people give up they die inside

Kattobingu

After logos and title we get an upsidedown wood thing in the sea and a voice saying sorry/I tried/All Is Lost/I got 1/2 days rations

then 8 days b4 and redford wakes up on his boat to a leak anf it f'd by a metal rectangle in the sea

he lowers sails and pulls the metal thing off then gets a sea anchor and ties it to the metal

he throws the thing in the sea and it lowersthen leaves but goes back and sees the metal is pooping shoes

he gets on the metal and undoes the anchor then f'd around and works around his boat

he tries fixing the hole in the boats a55 and pumping water out after a sleep and his arm gets tire like he's been j=rkin of for 3 hours and his things gonna fall off

so he tries fixing a phone and cleans the water from the inside they f's with a map

he looks in a book and gets words on radio but when he calls SOS like Nami SOS it don't seem to go through

Later he has a drink and maes dinner but it rains and he goes out to enjoy it

after dinner as a bag behind him looks like an animal head swaying, he reads w/ a head lamp

in the day he goes up the mast and f's with the sails

he sees storm clouds coming and goes in to put the bottles/plates away

he does something w/a jug and later shaves

he rives the boat on the top but goes in and gets an April oneil yellowsuit to go up in the rain

he goes in to get a strap thing to keep him rom falling off

he f's the sails and falls off the boat to be dragged in the sea but gets out and on the boat

the water blasts him in waves and he gets inside and lays on the couch or a bit

he takes of the yellow coat like guys want April to do and the boat flips so hes on the ceiling

it flips again, possible from sea creatures turning it

he goes out and the boat flips with him thrown in the sea so he swims to it and gets back and its on the right side up

the sail's in the sea and the mast is down so he cuts the sail loose to kill whales

he goes in and seems f'd and the wall or w/e has a hole in its a55 so he's b0ned

the boat turns and he bangs his hea so later he wakes up to see water p-ssing in

he goes up with a life raft and the water inside is deep

he poops out the raft like soviets pooping on freedom in England and France then jumps to it and seals it like a cocoon

After the rain lie the nelson bros song or w/e h oes bac to the boat and sees its full of water

he gets cr-p and a jug and cuts the f'd boat loose while lookin sad

he goes back and looks underwater inside to getta box

He puts stinging chemical on his head wound and sews it up using a mirror wait he uses bandai things to hold it together

in the real version he pulls his face open on the scar

he goes back to the raft and leaves the boat as it goes under

so he's in the boundless abyss that is the ocean and in the life boat but as he's alone he's got no one to eat if he runs outta food

he reads a book and we see the under of the boat as a sea slug or w/e swims by it

he chex a map and draws on it

He wakes up to find water in his raft and scoops it out with books wettened

he looks at his head wound in a mirror and sees a new storm is coming

he looks for shipping lanes on the map and seals the boats zippers like that Vic Mignogna anime of that Yokai or w/e

he stays in uring the storm ante raft is thrown around as water gets in

he goes out into the blac abyss and hangs on to the outside

he pulls it over and gets on covering his ears like he's having an autism attack

then its day and he uses a pump but it f's out

he chex the map and gets water rom his jug then spits it out and tries again

still spits and sees its f'd with sea water

he yells f--k to give this a pg13 and we see fish going by under the boat

he sees condensation on his thing and uses a pocket knife to shank the jug for failing him again starscream

he cuts a side off and throws it away then gets water in it and plastic on it 

also its really widescreen and colored but medium vivid

h gets a fishing line and throws it in the sea

he uses the condensed water that evaporated from the sun and collected on the plastic and dripped in the cop he put in it

he chex the map and ssees hes in the shipping lane but sees no boats in this boundless area o waste and no land

later he sees something and its a boat so he gets a lare and waves it

they dont see him and pass him over so he throws it in the sea

seeing his last hope leavehe gets a gun he saved in case of pirates and puts it in his mouth

jk really later he sees a fishing line is going and he pulls it by hand which otta cut into em

but a shark ets it saying mine b--ch and we see theres sharks below him

ater another boat goes by and he uses flare guns shots

Later he uses his sextant not s=x tent where b0ning is in the camp and sits around for days

he gets a jar and writes a letter on a boo he has and we're back to where the story began

he puts his samurai death poem in a jar and drops it in the sea to wind up in a colossal squid

so its a blackest night like green lantern and he sees a light in the distance

he takes the plastic off his jug and puts paper in it then uses a match from his waterproof bag 

he ads more paper and waves and throes the whole book in

the fire goes irish and he falls in the water as the raft goes up in flames

its lie the Vikings burning the boats as they land so theres no retreat

he gives up on life and goes under lie that malcontent movie Get Out

then he sees the boat above coming to his burning raft and goes up

to quote aporia in 5Ds, at the bottom of despair, there's hope

he grabs a hand and is pulled out to a light and the screen fades to white

then cedis to a song saying our man and cast our man Robert redford

1 guy, jack grundy like Solomon rom DC?

efects soviet Canada

1 guy, michael bay, the transformer guy?

the end

that was pretty good

sorta like a silent film where its all action and little dialogue

its a well told story and holds interest while having good flow and doesn't drag

it goes by fast and don't feel long but does the 1 man show well

I enjoyed it and its worth watching

Glad I saw this, its impressive

and the effects are well done

For All Is Lost 2 I want the guy who saved him to be on a hunt for Ningen, the cryptid, and they can't get him to land so he's on the cruise til the missions over. They go to the frozen north and search for Ningen but fin 1 and gotta fight it off as well as deal with other sea demons. Also its a 128 bit game on Dreamcast, GameCube, Xbox and PS2 like Robotech Battlecry but with mechs on an ice breaker that battle the Ningen and artic cryptids.
