Jungle Cruise~

MOVIE PREMIERE

Isn’t the buzziest Disney theme-park ride to ever inspire a movie, but the result is a diverting though inconsequential comedy-adventure in the Indiana Jones tradition. Mashing up Pirates of the Caribbean-style supernatural action and slapstick with an African Queen vibe—the heroine even describes a tumultuous ride through the rapids as “exhilarating”—Cruise stars Dwayne Johnson as Frank, the captain of a rundown steamer who welcomes aboard Emily Blunt as Lily, an ahead-of-her-time historical researcher in 1916 London. With her dandy-ish brother (Jack Whitehall) in tow, Lily hires Frank to take them on a wild ride through the Amazon rainforest to find a legendary “Tears of the Moon” tree with magical healing powers. Among their adversaries: sinister Germans (led by Jesse Plemons) and ghoulish, ghostly conquistadors
