CodyZamboni Z The first hour is a WW1 submarine drama, Once they get to the title island, the entertainment factor rose. The impressive matte paintings, the campy dinos, are fun. But what sinks the movie is the unecessary, annoying caveman sub plot, They should've just focused on the sub crew battling dinos and escaping from volcano disaster. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Michael C The original film adaptation of "The Land That Time Forgot" is a good movie. That's it. Just good. That in and of itself is fine of course. The special effects are mediocre at best, but they are fine for a movie of this kind (and budget). Almost reminded me of the original Toho Studios Godzilla movies. The late Doug McClure is all well and good as the main hero of the story Bowen Tyler. One of the movie's liabilities is it is very slow moving at times. There were parts of the movie which just seemed to drag on for too long. Another liability is the fight sequences between the main characters and the primitive humans who live on the hidden island of Caprona. There were too many quick cuts and the camera did not focus enough of aspects of the fights, the scene just kept jumping from clip to clip to clip. With that being said, "The Land That Time Forgot" is not a bad movie. It is good and entertaining, but I think it could have been better. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review alan g Should be,"the movie that time forgot". Insipid plot, horrible acting, special effects that are not special. Good thing everyone dies so no sequel. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Liam D I also watched this through Netflix's MST3K and some of the riffing was actually very funny so once again a great track elevated a pretty mediocre movie Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/22 Full Review martin a An interesting concept for a film, that tells the tale of a German U Boat torpedoing a Ship carrying weapons, that leaves a few survivors in a lifeboat, that end up taking over the U Boat when it surfaces. In the struggle between the two sides, they get lost and run out of food and fuel, and end up discovering a secret land with dinosaurs and more They agree to a truce to try and work together to get off the land. It all goes well, but they are attacked by natives, and for some reason blow up dinosaurs that are no problem, and also manage to discover oil, but a volcano erupts and they start to leave without the two main stars. It is sad that all of the cast die with the exception to the two. More could have been done with this film, but it is still very enjoyable Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review glenn p One of my favorites growing up.
