Nothing More Than A Time Waster
3 April 2011 | by (Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada) – See all my reviews

Apparently this is a sequel to the earlier "The Land That Time Forgot"

  • which I saw many, many years ago but have to admit I don't remember
very much of. Since this is a sequel, I guess it can be forgiven to an extent for not having much that's especially original in it. It's a typical story of a land filled with dinosaurs and "cave people" (including a stereotypical and very well endowed "cavegirl" - played by an actress named Dana Gillespie - who speaks surprisingly fluent English - having been taught by the man they're searching for - and spends most of the movie looking like she's about to burst out of her costume) as a search party heads in to find someone lost from the previous expedition. To give credit where credit is due, the sets were realistic and the dinosaur effects were pretty well done. The pterodactyl attack on the small plane near the beginning of the movie was actually quite believable - at least in the context of this movie. The cast was not particularly familiar to me. The most recognizable face (to me) was Sarah Douglas as "Charly" - a well to do photographer sent along by her family's newspaper to document the expedition. (I recognize her as Ursa - the villainess from Superman II a few years later.)

There's nothing very spectacular here. It's not a bad time waster (although it seems to start rather abruptly) even though it's not an especially good movie. (4/10)
