Editorial Review:
Comedic genius Will Ferrell stars as has-been scientist Dr. Rick Marshall, who gets more than he bargained for when his expedition takes a wrong turn into the Land of the Lost. Now, Marshall, his crack-smart research assistant Holly (Anna Friel) and a redneck survivalist named Will (Danny McBride), have no weapons, few skills and questionable smarts to survive in a world full of marauding dinosaurs, fantastic creatures and laugh-out-loud comedy!

Description of Land of the Lost [Blu-ray]:
How to make a big-screen version of Sid and Marty Krofft's Seventies TV show? In this case, place the thing in the meaty hands of Will Ferrell and give the special effects a big upgrade. If you grew up with the show, you will recall that Marshall, Will, and Holly fall through a time warp into a land where dinosaurs roam and all kind of weird things grow. In this version, Ferrell plays a disgraced scientist, Anna Friel a brainy postgraduate, and Danny McBride (Pineapple Express) the sleazy owner of a desert tourist trap that happens to be home to the time portal. This begins to suggest how this movie wants to have it both ways: keep some of the original's kid appeal, but raunch it up just enough for fans of Judd Apatow's movies. The result is that nothing really works very well. There's no momentum to the plot, the locations are monotonous, and Ferrell and McBride are desperate in their attempts to generate something out of nothing. Granted, they succeed a few times--these guys are too funny to whiff completely--but the strain is visible. And although the effects, are competent, the movie can't even get its fantasy rules straight (why is the T. Rex sometimes ferocious and sometimes indifferent?). Fans of the show will enjoy hearing the cheesy theme song worked in (Ferrell performs a zonked version) and seeing how the movie updates the menacing Sleestaks. But on a basic level Land of the Lost has no idea what it's doing, or what it means to do. --Robert Horton

Land of the Lost [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Good Comedy Fun!
2009-11-07 - If you like Will Ferrell, then you will like this movie. People say it was stupid and didn't accurately portray the series. Well maybe thats because its meant to make you laugh at the slee-stacks not take them seriously. And do Ferrell and McBride conjure up images of serious actors? No. Its a Ferrell/McBride and Chaka comedy (oh that Chaka is a thousand laughs...). With that cast, what did you expect? If you like good old fashioned silly comedy, then you will like this movie. I watched it twice in one week. One time sober, the other drunk and had fun both times. Watch it!

Has its laughs but not very good
2009-11-05 - It was fun the first time around and I think thats all its meant to be. I cant imagine having to watch this a second time through though. It seemed really drawn out the first time around.

Who ever told Will Ferrell he was funny????
2009-11-01 - Too bad. This could have been good if they did it seriously but with some humor. This was just dumb. The T-rex and other effects are cool but not enough to save it. The tv series is much better even though old and dated.
Will Ferrell is just not funny even in a stupid way. It is worth a rent and a watch but that's about it.

Utter disaster
2009-10-27 - Awful, unbelievably stupid, boring movie. The kind that makes you think about hitting the Stop button after 5 minutes, and end up doing it after 15... Don't be misled by those enthusiastic critics. This is definitely a complete and frustrating waste of money.

Better than the original show
2009-10-23 - As a fan of the original Seventies series, I had high hopes for this film: hopes that were actually exceeded, both in terms of what I imagined a remake could achieve and as compared to the original Kroft show. Basically, it's so bad, it's good -- very tongue in cheek, yet it tells a real story. Instead of a dad and kids, this is a crackpot scientist (Dr. Rick Marshal: Will Ferrel), his groupie (Holly Cantrel From Cambridge Who Thinks He's Brilliant: Anna Friel) and Will No-Last-Name (Danny McBride). Dr. Ridiculous has invented a "tacheon amplifier" which moves its holder sideways in time, and thrusts Marshal, Will and Holly in their tiny raft into an all-mixed-up prehistoric world where the dynos and sleestacks you remember prey on anyone who falls through the portal -- which is located inside Will's made-up cave ride "attraction!" With what you're thinking during most B action movies spoken aloud, great period music inserted at strategic times and a Chaka who really speaks Pakumi, this flick is a blast from the past that's better than the original because the latter took itself way too seriously. The blu-ray edition has LOADS of great extras, some of which you'll have to be connected to the internet to access and cool animated menus which are styled after the closing credits visuals. Some of the CG images are surprisingly less than crisply outlined. Still, this is well worth it for Ferrel fans, Kroft junkies and happy "campers." ENJOY
