Step 1
Go to Color > Color Mixer. In the Adjust dropdown, select Hue.
In the Color Mixer settings, set the Green to +100. This will give foliage more blues for a filmic look.

Step 2
tone down some of the oversaturated areas
Adjust dropdown menu and select Luminance. Set the Yellow to -100 and Green to -50. These are approximate values that you can use as a starting point - adjust them to fit your image.We need to adjust luminance because our brains perceive dark green less saturated than medium green.So by lowering the luminance the greens will appeae vibrant.

Step 5
Lift the blacks by dragging the bottom-left point upwards. This will give blacks a lighter tone.
Now crush the blacks by moving it towards the right. This will hide details in the blacks

Step 6
click on the middle of the line to add a point (keep this point in the middle). Add another point between the first two and drag it down to create an s-curve. This will increase the contrast.

Step 8
Complete the image by going to the Effects tab and applying your desired combination of effects. For my image,You can increase the texture and clarity settings to give it a sharper look. The corners can be darkened by setting the vignette to -25. And finally,you can add some grain, which might not be to give it a film-like appearance.
