Never written a review before, but a day after watching this I wish I could get my money back! This is an assault on the film it was put on. Everything about this movie is ridiculous and an assault on my brain. What a waste of Idris. Laughable.

Beast is a new survival thriller directed by Baltasar Kormákur, the director of 2 Guns and Everest. The film is about Dr. Nate Daniels (Idris Elba), who, after the death of his ex-wife, takes his daughters to the South African savannah to the place where he met his ex. They are accompanied here by Nate's friend Martin Battles (Sharlto Copley), who often leads safaris for tourists. During the safari, Martin learns that something is wrong and learns that a bloodthirsty lion has attacked the local village and killed most of the inhabitants. When they come into contact with this lion, they are quickly seen as his new prey. Now they must hide in the safari jeep and the lion survive its attacks until help arrives. Otherwise, they have to find a safe way on their own before coming face to face with the brutal lion. With the 2015 film Everest, Baltasar Kormákur also tried to make a survival thriller about people who tried to reach the top with the cold temperatures around Mount Everest. He had made that film a bit too big with too long a running time, so you had to go through the preparations of the mountaineers for about the first half of the film before they even started climbing the mountain. He provided some long-winded moments in this film. With his new film Beast, with a shorter running time, he presents a more exciting survival thriller about a family that has to survive in the warm savannah while they are constantly attacked by a lion. Survival thrillers about lions have become more popular since the film The Ghost and The Darkness, but with films such as Prey from 2016 or Rogue from 2020, due to lesser storylines or visual effects, they have always been difficult to succeed. Despite the fact that Beast has a simple story with the accompanying clichés from survival thrillers and also has nice, but not always the most believable visual effects, they still manage to provide an entertaining and exciting survival thriller. Idris Elba manages to carry the film well as the main character, who tries to improve the bond with his estranged daughters after a tragic experience. Iyana Halley and Leah Jeffries also know how to portray the two daughters in an appropriate way. One does have more acting experience than the other, but this is also due to the standard story of the film. It is also nice to see the South African actor Sharlto Copley in this film as a South African safari guide, who knows the areas and animals well. Beautifully shot in the real African savannah, the film shows beautiful images of these landscapes and of the different animal species that live here. This way the film can come across as if you are really on a safari in the African savannah and you will also learn the necessary information about these areas and animal species. The film also responds somewhat to the current problems of the African natural landscapes and the different animal species that live here. So they try to draw some attention to this.

"Are you ok?", to Martin, mauled by a lion, clearly not ok. A cheap thrill waste. Screenplay...................................... 0 / 10 Acting............................................... 3 Cinematography/VFX............................ 4 Sound............................................... 4 Editing................................................ 4 Music....................................................... 1 Timeless Utility................................... 0 Total.................................................... 16 / 70 (rounded to 2) Verdict................................................. Repulsive.

Nothing new here. Poor plot. Terrible and entirely unnecessary forced family drama. Which leads in to terrible dialogs and even worse nonsensical decisions made by the children. Some of which lead to a grown man punching and kicking a massive lion.... If you can kick and punch a lion, you're within it's grasp, and those claws and teeth are no joke. Getting slashed or bitten to the bone numerous times.... I dare say you won't exactly be very mobile, regardless of how determined you are or how full of adrenaline. The ONLY smart thing in the entire movie was the younger daughter stabbing the lion when it somehow couldn't reach dad under the suv. His fight with the lion at the end was beyond stupid, 2 bites at most and he would've been done for, but nope, not our hero. At least 7 or 8 massive bites from a set of jaws that average around 650 PSI bite force. Us lowly humans don't manage a 5th of that.

An awful attempt to recreate "The ghost and the darknes" with less people and less lions. 95 percent of the people actions were with zero logic. There wete only 2 moments, when I feel sadnes: Spoiler 1) When the poor lion died... Bigger spoiler: 2) When the poor lion died again.
