They were looking for Shangri La, there's no road for that.

They were looking for Shangri La, there's no road for that.
Since a significant percentage of the available reviews seem to have been written by individuals with attention spans and retention capabilities as dismal as yours, I'll let the subtitles take it from here:

00:54:42-
"He said he found Shambala."
00:54:59-
"What is Shambala?"
00:55:09-
"According to the myth, it offers infinite wealth and knowledge to whoever finds it."
"Like Shangri-La?"
01:01:37-
"Where is Shambala?"
01:06:01-
"Since you will not divulge the location of Shambala willingly, you're going to show me."
01:10:10-
"Shambala! Oh Dad you were right."
01:18:59-
"I'm going to give you one more chance, Mr. Burton. Where is Shambala?"

Pull the needle out of your arm and pay attention next time.

Are you trying to fill your quota for insults today, or you nursing a hang-over? Perhaps if you would take some time from your busy schedule of nitpicking every microsecond of a SyFy movie, you would know that the director himself stated they were searching for "Shangri-La." A simple google search also confirmed this on several sites. Shambhala was the name given by the natives for the mythical Shangri-la. But perhaps your beer and shots soaked brain can't understand the concept that a fictional place can have two names.

Put down the glass and pick up some manners.

I find your keen analysis quite fascinating.

My "nitpicking every microsecond" consisted of doing a word search and C&P'ing from the sub file while watching something else. If what the director said about the flick he was directing doesn't agree with the script of the flick he was directing, then I'd be more inclined to call him to task than some dude on the internet.

The mind boggles at what substances your brain must be saturated with to write that. The concept of Shambahala goes back to ancient Hindu and Buddhist texts which, I can say without fear of logical contradiction, predate the birth of James Hilton, who coined the term "Shangri-La" for his 1933 novel "Lost Horizon".

It may be that the humor of my original post was a bit too esoteric for you, and you would be better suited prowling the Beavis and Butt-Head (1993) or South Park (1997) forums and attempting to debunk fart jokes.
