    To children this will no doubt be an exciting film full of cool monsters and tense moments.
    As an adult I found it to have blatantly racist and Imperialistic undetones and was a bit bothered by the fact that they spent much of the movie thoughtlessly slaughtering all of the inha...( read more)bitants (both beast & human) of "The Forgotten Land" with little regard.
    Normally it's easy for me to over look these sorts of things in older films, but this wasn' THAT old! And they just kept KILLING everything! : P
    If you can get past that, it was a (mostly) enjoyable sci-fi journey and it was fun seeing Colin Farrell as a young lad in a very minor role.
    One can't help but see similarities to the original "Land Of The Lost" as well, they even have their own "Chaka"!
    I must give them credit for a surprisingly bleak ending, which was rather unexpected.

    This is a great family classic! A little dated now in terms of special effects etc but probably cutting edge at the time. A great fun action film with all sorts of creatures in it. If you're a fan of the old Sinbad or Clash of the Titans type films you'll love this. I can't be th...( read more)e only one in my friends list who has seen this!?! lol

    Very interesting. Evolution on a new level. A sentient island? Wonderful concept. I would love to see what they do with a remake!

    A pretty decent storyline, a bit similar to The Lost World but better thought out. However there is to me a bit of a racist element to it. The further up river they go the more evolved everything is. The less evolved people have dark skin, the more evolved have light skin. I didn...( read more)'t have a problem when they killed dinosaurs to defend themselves but there were times when they killed them just because they were in the way. This was set in 1916 so that was probably a fair reflection on the way people would have reacted back then but I didn't like it. It would have been good if a t-rex had eaten them all.
