Land Of The Lost

The Land of the Lost was at one time, a popular 10970’s television show. Today it has been remade into a film, starring the always funny Will Ferrell. Ferrell plays a scientist that strongly believes in the idea of time travel and eventually finds out the truth. With Ferrell and the entire cast, Land of the Lost takes a new spin on the humor and jinks of the original show, while keeping many similarities for the shows fans.

Since many of the scientists, that work with Dr. Marshall, do not believe in the prospect of time travel, he is literally laughed out of his profession. Dr. Marshal then takes on a position in a middle school as a science teacher. While working as a teacher he meets Holly, and they become instant friends. Holly is behind Dr. Marshall’s idea of time travel and continues to encourage him to complete his work.

One night Dr. Marshall and Holly decide to test his time travel device in cave that was located in the desert. This cave is a tourist attraction that is run a fireworks salesman named Will, played by Danny McBride. When the device is switched on all three of them are hurled into another time dimension where they are greeted by odd insect forms, lizard and monkey people, and a large man eating dinosaur. This large man eating dinosaur and his hatred of Dr. Marshall make for one of the funniest running gags in the film.

Almost as soon as they arrive they meet a monkey person named Chaka, played by Jorma Taccone from SNL. Chaka helps the group recover the time travel device, which went missing on arrival, so that they can return to their home. The trick to finding the device, however, is to survive the many hazardous encounters along the way.

Although this film was not a box office smash, or even Will Ferrell’s best work, it does have many fun and entertaining qualities. Chaka and the character Will, give us some of the best laughs in the movie, and Ferrell gives us his best adolescent grown up character. There are many great special effect and CGI shows this new world well. Although the lizard people tend to look a little off, it is meant to be that way to represent the classic television show. The CD comes with a few extras, which are funny thanks to the touch of Will Farrell. This is a PG-13 film and not intended for younger viewers due to sexual references and language.
