The Land That Time Forgot

Most Sci-Fi fans are prepared to tolerate a movies more notable deficiencies provided that the film has an interesting plot with state-of-the-art CGI. That the quality of the special effects were little better than 1975 movie means that this film has nothing to commend it whatsoever. The 1 point is for the women. They looked good even if they weren't called upon to act. What is the point in Hollywood making films like this with a budget so small that the movie appeared to have been made in one afternoon. Indeed frequent shots of the submarine showed the same seagulls unmoved! If Burroughs weren't already dead I think seeing this film might have killed him anyway. Not even Tarzan in super-CGI could have saved this turkey.

The original film and the novel were and still are a favourite of mine. Unfortunately this 2009 remake is possibly the worst film I have ever seen. Terrible acting. Even worse effects. Oh dear

Ha I have just read the above reviews and although I agree in practice I don't think many of you have watched Asylum movies before.

In fact the land that time forgot is great in comparison to the delights of Transmorphers and Alien Vrs Hunter.

At least the dinosaurs looked relatively real by maybe 2001 standards which is'nt to bad for this studio.

The acting is bad, the setup sux, the plot cant be knocked really cos it has been done well in the past, but the delivery could be better.

Overall I would'nt actually recommend it to anyone unless they really liked cheesy movies, but it is worth a watch if the alternate is a root canal.

This movie fails on almost every possible level:

Bad acting: check.

Poor direction: check.

Hackneyed script: check.

Painfully bad CG: check.

Odd pacing: check.

Timothy Bottoms looking embarrassed and wondering when he can go home and start drinking: check.

Run screaming, tripping and flailing away from this sad attempt at a movie.

I just watched it, absolutely awful.

This movie had terrible acting, dumb situations, and just... well....

Hardly any action, 1 boring dinosaur used twice, lol, well, other than 2 dead ones and a quickie underwater one, and 1 flying pterodactyl.

C. Thomas Howell and Bottoms acting were just bad.

They should be ashamed of themselves for not putting in more dinosaurs and cool stuff. I saw more action in the 1970's TV show land of the lost.

Watch the old 1960's version, way better.

Watch this version only if free and every other channel has infomercials on.
