Land of the Lost Review – CG Effects Steal the Show

| 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.

It stars Will Ferrell as a washed-up scientist who goes back to the stone age via time machine, along with his research assistant (Anna Friel) and a survivalist (Danny McBride). Of course they get chased by T-Rex’s and other fantastic creatures.
It’s directed by Brad Silberling and rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content, and for language including a drug reference. Arrives in theaters June 5, 2009. Read my interview with Michael Papajohn, who plays an astronaut in the movie.
Thanks to MTV for the clips below. Are you looking forward to this movie?
