Land of the Lost: Review By George Oldale

Land of the Lost is a live-action/adventure film about an oddball scientist called Rick. He, a doctoral candidate student and a gift shop owner explore a parallel world inhabited by dinosaurs, lizard men and evolved monkeys. They then explore the lost land, trying to find a tachyon amplifier to get back home sweet home.

Rick, an odd scientist was being interviewed by Matt Lauer only to end it horribly. His career ruined, Rick meets Holly the doctorate so she can help him. The two go to a boat ride in the caves, guided by a gift shop owner, Will. After an accident with the tachyon amplifier, they entered another world which appeared to be a desert with items from many eras.

Throughout this crazy adventure, Rick meets various characters: Cha-Ka the monkey-like Pakuni, Grumpy the smart but mad T-Rex, vicious lizard men called the Sleestak, Enik the lizard-like Altrusian, and Zarn the Altrusian who Holly saw in a message. The four main characters must stop Enik the evil Altrusian into taking over the human world.

Now, I'm not calling Land of the Lost good or bad; I'm calling it average. You see, some jokes are funny, some are not. Now, this might not be the worst 'Lost World' film I have ever seen. I have seen worse low-budget films than this. Heck, if was a Sleestak being ruled by Enik, he'll tell me to stop Brad Silberling from making this dinosaur dung type of film.
