Land of the Lost
On his latest expedition, has-been scientist Dr. Rick Marshall is sucked into a space-time vortex alongside his crack-smart research assistant Holly and redneck survivalist Will into a world populated by marauding dinosaurs and painfully slow creatures called Sleestaks. With no weapons, few skills and questionable smarts, the trio must rely on their only ally, a primate named Chaka, to try to survive long enough to figure out a way back home.
Critics Sentiment
Rick dances through pterosaur nest to Chorus Line music
Group encounters multiple dinosaurs in artifact wasteland
The film jumps from its lowest point during the crude dinosaur battle sequence to its comedic peak with the absurdist pterosaur nest dance number, gaining 3.5 points.
Land of the Lost starts with moderate promise as a Will Ferrell vehicle but quickly devolves into crude sight gags and poor execution. The film peaks during its most absurdist comedic moments, particularly the pterosaur nest sequence, but fails to sustain quality throughout. Overall reception reflects a missed opportunity that neither honors the original series nor succeeds as modern comedy.
