Review by Arnold

f you like WIll Farrell’s other movies, you’ll like Land of the Lost. While not as good as Kicking and Screaming, it’s actually pretty funny. And, remarkably, it’s not all sex and fart jokes. This isn’t a PG movie - obviously, Will Farrell is the star. But a lot of the jokes are just dry humor, rather than Old School-style comedy. I also found all the abuse Chakra took pretty hilarious. Danny McBride has some funny scenes too.

I felt like one of the things preventing this from being a 5-star movie was the quality of the special effects. The parallel universe seems a bit empty. The dinosaurs aren’t anatomically correct - even compared to Jurassic Park. The CG seems a cartoonish. The Tyrannosaur drags its tail close to the ground, an obviously inaccurate portrayal. I think the film was trying to go for a classic Land of the Lost: The Complete Series. However, as a natural history aficionado, it would have been nice if the dinosaurs looked more realistic.

On the other hand, the Sleestaks look awesome. They have a retro look - they look like guys in lizard suits, but done really well.

Overall, Land of the Lost is definitely worth checking out. Good for a few laughs.
