Land of the Lost Review – CG Effects Steal the Show
June 6, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
| Movie: Land of the Lost * Trailer * Images * Official Site | In Theaters: June 5, 2009 |
| Runtime: 93 minutes | Directed by: Brad Silberling |
| MPAA Rating: PG-13 for crude and sexual content, and for language, including a drug reference | Gecko Rating: |
If you’ve seen the 1970s series on which “Land of the Lost” is based, you know it’s low-budget and cheesy. The movie has some cool special effects, but overall, the plot tries to re-create the cheesiness of the TV series. It doesn’t really succeed, which is saying something. Or saying nothing, take your pick. Still, the movie has a few moments that click.
Like the TV show, the movie tells what happens when three people are transported to a world of dinosaurs and pod people. Only instead of a scientist and two kids, it’s a scientist and two mismatched adults.

"Land of the Lost" hits theaters this Friday, June 5, 2009. After seeing a bunch of clips and all the new images below, I’m starting to get excited about this one.
And Will Ferrell has been publicizing the movie like mad. He’ll be on Man Vs. Wild tomorrow night – Tuesday, June 2, at 10 PM on the Discovery Channel. I’m sure it’ll be a hoot!
