TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

After I saw the extremely awesome Land of the Lost movie for a 2nd time, I wanted to see the series that it was based on. I was new to the series, and I thought it was pretty good! They have good plots, cheesy special effects, and much more. On a routine expedition, Marshall, Will, and Holly meet the greatest earthquake ever known. They are transported to the Land of the Lost, and try to find their way back home. Throughout the season they must deal with a T-Rex named Grumpy, befriend a Pakuni named Cha-Ka, escape the Sleestak, seek Enik's help, and meet a friendly dinosaur named Dopey. During the 2nd season the Marshalls are still trying to get home, and throughout the season they must deal with Sleestak, the Zarn, help Cha-Ka steal a dinosaur egg, survive powerful storms, and deal with blackouts. During the third season, Rick Marshall is transported back to Earth due to an earthquake, the same time his brother Jack comes looking for them. The earthquake causes new creatures to awaken. All the Pakuni, except Cha-Ka are gone. Cha-Ka speaks English. Their home in the Land of the Lost is destroyed, and they are forced to find a new place to live. During the course of this season Will turns invisible, the Sleestak tamper with the sunlight, they meet Medusa, go aboard the Flying Dutchman, stop an Abominable Snowman, Cha-Ka turns evil, and much more! I highly recommend LAND OF THE LOST: THE COMPLETE SERIES!!! p.s. When Ifind out about the ticket to see the Land of the Lost movie, I used it, and saw it for a 3rd time on June 23rd! I took my mom, but she didn't like it as much as I did. I got two free LAND OF THE LOST posters. I wanted the one with Rick, Holly, and Will in the raft, with Grumpy behind them, and the people of the theatre also gave the one with Will Ferrell running and Grumpy is busting out of the poster! I already put them up in my room.

Do keep in mind that for the vast majority of those posting here, we are looking at the series through adult eyes, yet the show was never intended for adults. This show was extremely well written for what it was, and for it's intended audience.If you look at the show today as an adult, accepting the fact that the show was created for kids only, you would then see just how incredibly well-written it was. My favorite episode? I have two. The first is the one where they find the bones and uniform of a soldier from either the Civil War or the Revolutionary War (I can't remember which), and then the one where an alternate Marshall Will and Holly are found sticking out of a wall in a cave. See? For a Saturday morning kid's show, it was incredible. It wasn't the West Wing, but it never was intended to be that, either.

We ordered this on Netflix for our 8 year old who loves dinosaurs. He loved it just as much as we did, back in the day. My nine year old daughter liked it too. Tried doing a lookup on the main character actors - doesn't seem they did much in the way of movies or TV after the show. Can't believe we made our parents watch this - love the special effects now ... how the three of them are in a raft and the size of the river looks to be about 8 inches across, and the bricks slam down on it, then they're in the same jungle scene time after time, and its always dusty ... :D Didn't know that Walter Koenig wrote an episode - his commentary is on the Disc 1 features - kind of funny to here him without a Slovak accent. Brings back some nice memories.

I actually read that they fell through a time trap(door) What?? They were on a camping trip and they went over a waterfall and ended up in the land of the lost. OK now that I got that off of my chest why was Holly so annoying? She was always complaining. Dad why is a boulder coming after us? Dad why is that dinosaur going to eat us? It never was out of fear but rather the sound of an annoying child. Also about those boulders...come on. They were the size of a peanut. I guess that is why they would shrink the actors to make the rocks appear much larger. I just bought the show on DVD. I hope it is worthwhile. I guess just seeing Holly's face in braids on the cover is worth the price.
