Bad acting aside, I managed to watch the whole thing and was mildly entertained. Worst actor would have to be the father, Nicholas (Richard Grieco), he came across like he wanted to win some kind of award for his performance, well, mate, you got one. I enjoyed watching Amanda (Alyson Gorske) and Lebecq (Wade Hunt Williams) without these two, this would have been a 1 star movie. I wouldn't recommend this, unless you wanted some mindless movie to watch on a rainy day.

I knew this was gonna be bad when piranhas start eating huge boat and then a herd of poison dart frogs attack our explorers, but they're the size of bullfrogs!! All the characters are annoying especially the brother and sister looking for their father. The CGI creatures are ridiculous, as bad or worse than SciFy channel movies.

Siblings and a small group of people go look for their missing father in the Amazon.
Something about dad and his crew not respecting the heart of the jungle, while cutting down trees, and releasing a creature to wreak havoc amongst the ruiners.
None of the characters are likable. If that daughter screeched, "DAD" one more time I was going to pop my own eardrums with sharpened pencils.
The special effects were "special" alright, but I'm not being complementary.
There are no redeeming qualities to this movie. We paid $4.99 on Amazon to watch this tripe. Don't be like us. Pass on it.

The camerawork made me queasier than an actual boat ride, it was all over the place with unnecessary close ups of faces that had dumb expressions. And some of the cheapest CGI I've seen in a while. I dont expect quality from The Asylum, but i was not entertained.

Right, well with this movie being a mockbuster from The Asylum, chances were most likely that I was in for something dubious. But still, I opted to sit down and watch the 2021 movie "Jungle Run" on the odd chance that the movie would be entertaining, as once every now and again The Asylum does spew out something good.
Well, "Jungle Run" was watchable, but it wasn't one of the better movies from The Asylum. What went wrong here was the storyline, as it was just too shallow and lacking a deeper and profound core essence to it. So you're not in for something as grand as "Jungle Cruise", the movie that "Jungle Run" is a blantant copy of, have no doubts about it.
It should be said that the CGI and effects in "Jungle Run" was actually not bad for it being a movie from The Asylum. So the movie did have that working for it, despite of having a lack of a properly written storyline. It felt like writer Marc Gottlieb was just rushing through it here to get it done by deadline, so things felt half-hearted and rushed.
The acting in "Jungle Run" was adequate for most parts. However, given the inadequate writing, then the characters in the movie's script were just not particularly interesting. And that meant that the actors and actresses didn't have all that much to work with.
While I did manage to sit through the entire movie, I was only mildly entertained by director Noah Luke's movie. Which results in the movie landing a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.

An expedition is looking for a lost family member (I think it was "Dad!", as they shouted it about 50 times). The kids are crossing the Amazon jungle, a wilderness where the arts of river straightening, lawn mowing and building modern wire cages are well known to the local tribes (actually filmed in a park in Florida). The adventurers' boat is eaten by Piranhas, because they love steel for breakfast. Nevertheless the team of heroes marches on to find dad, various CGI monsters, a magic green crystal... Whatever.
So bad it is hard to believe if you haven't watched it. The actors just stand around and don't seem to know what they are doing. Try to get "Anaconda" (1997) instead, because a quarter of a century ago, they still knew how to do silly B movies.

Could tell it was low budget from the start. I'm all about watching a "bad" movie for entertainment but this one had me shaking my head. I especially laughed at the girl leaving her brother to be eaten by a huge croc and walking on as though it never happened. Hilarious cg also.
So worse for editing, and worse for storyline. I can't stand for the story editing. And I even can't understand the whole story. Worse than my expectations.
I love B movies, but this is more like an F movie. I could not find not one
redeeming quality. The worst thing is the acting, which is atrocious,
and the worst of the worst is the fake german accent of the captain.
I had to fight myself to watch it until the end ...

Not that bad. Still a B movie. But didn't hate it. I have seen better for sure but I have seen way worse too.
Like Sharknado
And the guy who talk about Beast Wars, just shut up. It was the hit back in time @antthenerd.

Possibly the worst movie ever.
They could have at least put a piece of duct tape over the Florida tag on the boat... Not even that.... The acting is horrible, the whole premise of filming the Amazon in the Florida Everglades is absurd.
It makes me think of doing a movie, if the standard is this low.

Genuinely can't think of a worse movie with worse acting (at this particular moment at least). Not only was it unwatchable but I couldn't even tolerate it as background noise while I was mindlessly scrolling through IG. Distractingly bad. I do not think acting gets worse than the acting in this movie. Can't tell if their jungle captain guide person was speaking another real or made up language but he had like 3 different accents. Still trying to think of a worse movie and can't. The cgi, yikes, whoever worked on this, don't quit your day job, unless working on movies is your day job then yes quit immediately. Wow. This movie made anaconda look like apocalypse now. Sometimes I watch bad movies just to roast them the whole time, this wasn't even good for that. Just looking at it left a bad taste in my mouth.

2021! It's a pandemic of REALLY BAD MOVIES. I think every "Starving Artist" finally got the job offers because the rich and famous were sitting out waiting for COVID to end. Thankfully, protective measures were put into place were as the real actors and good movies can be made again. To the reviewer that asked for their $4.99 back. You should also be compensated for your time lost!

This movie makes Sharknado seem Oscar worthy. We wanted to like it, mostly because we kept laughing at how bad it was.

Definitely not one of Amazon's best productions. Very predictable and ridiculous script. Sub-par acting especially the 2 that play brother & sister.
If you like cheesey, this is a movie for you.

Bad acting, bad journey, bad ending. The CGI looks like it was done with Microsoft paint and looks like the show beast wars from back in the day. Just don't.

This was THE WORST movie we have ever seen. The constant loud background music gave me an actual headache. Terrible directing, hideous sound, bad special effects. Not fun. Not even a bad B movie. We give 2 thumbs down, and a 0 rating. What a terrible waste of time!

Bad acting and stupid
Just a stupid movie.
Very inexperienced acting.
I wasted my time watching this looking for and action packed adventure film.
It was an attempt to create an adventur that went no where.

I don't usually go out of my way to lay further waste of my life (or anybody else's) in recording a criticism of a terribly written and produced film. I'll spare details, since so many others have adequately addressed this films many shortcomings, and to this point, I've already used too much of my life. I can give it some credit as unintended humor - as is a value attributable to many B movies - since the production does appear to take itself seriously. We laughed ourselves almost off the couch in the ending 10 minutes. It's not as bad or unintentionally funny as "Mac and Me" but it is a close second.
