I became curious about this movie when I saw Dianna Agron on the cover. I didn't hear about it before. I enjoyed this movie. The screenplay is by the creators of Smallville (and a writer/producer of Buffy), and this movie had very much a Smallville kind of vibe to it.
Seems this is based on a series of books. But sadly the movie didn't fair too well and it looks like there will be no sequel. Which is a shame. I would have liked to see more of it.

Anyone that knows me knows that this is not my kind of movie. But I made a deal with a friend that if she watched a movie of my choosing I would watch this one. And I keep my bargains so...

Wow... what to say about this one? To say it was pure torture doesn't seem like enough. If I never see this film agan it will be too soon. The whole time watching this film all I could think is how does Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon feel about doing this film now that they are much more famous. That being said... I will give this one a one star rating. Mainly because I can see how someone would enjoy making fun of this film. There is some things to laugh at here. But think that is the best I can say about this one.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Land of the Lost
Marshall, Will and Holly on a routine expedition met the greatest earthquake ever known. High on the rapids it struck their raft and plunged them down a thousand feet below to the Land of the Lost.

Take a journey back in time with the Marshall family through this incredible world of breathtaking wonder, pulse-pounding danger and mind-boggling special effects. Only in the Land of the Lost will you battle dinosaurs one day and encounter beings from other dimensions the next.

The Pylons, the Pakuni, evil energy storms...they are all part of the awesome adventures created by legendary Sid and Marty Krofft. Relive all your favorite Saturday morning thrills as you rediscover all 43 action-packed original episodes in the Land of the Lost Complete Series.

Cha-Ka
The Marshalls make a new friend, Cha-Ka the Paku, and a new enemy... a hungry T-Rex.

My Thoughts:
I used to watch this series every Saturday morning when I was a kid. It was one of my favorites at the time. So this show brought back some memories for me. When I first got this set I watched a few episodes with Brittany... and she liked it too so I know that this show can still appeal to kids. But I am sure it offers nothing for adults. Not unless of course you watched the show as a kid and want to watch it for nostalgic reasons. And for that reason I still find this series to be a fun distraction from real life.

This is one of those shows where the starting theme serves tells you the story on how they got there. In the first episode they are already in The Land of the Lost and they meet their new friend Cha-ka. Not to mention figure out how to fend off a T-Rex. I am probably enjoying this more then I should... but hey... this is my childhood we are talking about here. It is a reminder of simpler and better times.

My Rating:
