Land of The Lost DVD Review By John C.

*** (out of 4)

Based on a 1970’s TV show, Land of The Lost is the story of three people who go through a time warp and end up in a strange universe, where everything that has been lost on earth shows up. There, they meet dinosaurs, and the hilarious primitive human, Cha-Ka, who’s played very well by Jorma Taccone. Will Ferrell is also perfectly cast as Dr. Rick Marshall.

I don’t think anyone behind Land of The Lost was taking themselves seriously. And that’s why it’s so much campy fun. Could it have been done better? I honestly don’t think so. This is a movie that’s trying to be cheesy, and it succeeds. It’s a homage to an old TV show, and a sci-fi spoof. It’s also just very funny, and incredibly entertaining.

The DVD includes audio commentary, and approximately 25-minutes of bonus material, including three deleted scenes, and two featurettes with Danny McBride.

Land of The Lost DVD Review By Erin V.

*** (out of 4)

Land of The Lost is a funny comedy. Based on the TV series from the 1980's, this movie seems to be geared towards those who would have watched the show. This being said though, it will be enjoyed by teens and adults who have not seen it as well. Like many of Will Ferrell's previous movies, the humour here is not for the really young, but that's ok. It's funny, and that's what counts in a film like this.

Of particular note in this movie, is the actor, Jorma Taccone, who plays the ape-like guy, 'Cha-ka'. He is hilarious in this (mostly non-verbal other than for odd sounds) role. Also of note is the musical score by master composer Michael Giacchino, whose work could also be heard in Star Trek, and Up this year.

Especially for fans of Will Ferrell comedies, and those who remember the original show, this is a movie worth getting. While the trailers didn't have me too excited for this one, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed myself.
