Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Sancy Jeg In this story three people go to a mysterious island called 'The land of lost'. There they meet a caveman called Chaka. They lost the machine to go back to the real world. So their adventure begins when they explore and go on finding the machine. It was funny adventurous movie. I have always seen serious adventurous but this one was good. Everyone watch this movie and especially I suggest people who are sad to watch this movie to laugh.
BA_Harrison For fans of Anna Friel, Land of the Lost is bearable, the actress cavorting around in a small pair of red shorts and a tight vest, showing off her toned legs, occasionally bending over to give a glimpse of butt or cleavage; I can't imagine anyone else being entertained by this steaming turd of a movie, not even the most desperate of Will Ferrell fans (I don't usually mind the bloke, but here he's about as funny as a collapsed lung).Ferrell plays quantum-paleontologist Dr. Rick Marshall, inventor of the Tachyon Amplifier, a device capable of creating doorways to parallel dimensions. When he and pretty 'groupie' Holly Cantrell (Friel) test the machine, the pair are sucked into an alternate universe (along with redneck tour-guide Will Stanton, played by Danny McBride), where they discover ferocious dinosaurs, primitive apemen, and an advanced race of reptilian aliens intent on conquering the Earth.Based on a '70s TV series, the sloppy plot is meandering, mindless nonsense, the CGI/green-screen work is diabolical, and the whole affair is completely unfunny, despite Ferrell's best efforts (the actor coating himself in Hadrosaur urine and Tyrannosaurus poop in his desperate quest for laughs). Which leaves us with Friel looking hot and having her breast fondled. Which is something, I suppose… (and the only reason I'm giving this 4/10 instead of 1/10).
punishmentpark A fun film that needs a little time to start up (except for the talk show scene), but then it presents a nice mix of terrific (sci-fi) fantasy elements (with more than adequate effects, for instance, the 'Sleestaks' were nicely done, reminding me of 'Creature from the black lagoon' from 1954) and the familiar Ferrell sense of humour. And that works well for me.The deleted scenes were added as extra's on the DVD, in poor quality, though, unfortunately. Luckily still, because they should have been in the film, really. After these scenes (such as Ferrell daring a little black kid to a fight after a bit of 'yo mama' joking, Danny R. McBride offers his services for human trafficking over the Mexican-American border and McBride's little get-together with the ape man) were cut, the film apparently went from an R-rating to a PG-13 rating. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave...7 out of 10.
Sara Simmons Don't be scared off by the low rating, this comedy is definitely worth your time. Danny McBride and Will Ferrell aren't the only source of laughs with its crazy scenes and plot. It manages to be exciting and adventurous without being strung out and forced. All the comedy flows, nothing feels forced or tired. Every scene has humor in it, even during serious points of the movie. Unlike Adam Sandler movies, where everything is forced and cliché, this is fun to watch. Despite a relatively low budget, the fx aren't bad at all except where they're supposed to look cheap for humorous effect. Memorable movie worthy of watching many times.
