It has all the makings of a rollicking fantasy adventure - a scientist, played by Emily Blunt, enlists the help of a skipper a.k.a. Dwayne Johnson, to take her down the Amazon, in search of the Tree of Life. Of course, it isn’t going to be smooth sailing, as they face all sorts of dangers in the jungle. Based on a Disney theme park ride, the movie also stars Jack Whitehall, Edgar Ramirez, and Paul Giamatti. We review the movie and see if it... floats our boat.

Talking apes and Jedi Knights are cool, but how do they impact Hollywood as a whole? That's the kind of stuff we talk about on Popcorn Culture - a mixed-bag-exploration of the movies, TV shows, and pop culture buzz that we love, as well as the ones we love (slightly) less.
