Gargantuan waste of time Land of the Lost illicits few laughs via Will Ferrell
The Land of the Lost sucked.
An egotistical scientist, Dr. Rick Marshall (Will Ferrell, Elf), discovers inter-dimensional time travel, but disgraces himself and his studies on national television into quack-theory oblivion before he can ever test his findings. After a few years of living in scientific obscurity and depression, Holly (Anna Friel, Pushing Daisies), an attractive fan and devotee of Marshall’s work, inspires him to resurrect his theories and work on a device for inter-dimensional time travel. Marshall builds his device, and with Holly’s help and the extra comic relief of a tag-along simpleton, Will (Danny McBride), they find loony adventure in a land lost in time.
Vengeful T-rex dinosaurs, dismemberment, people in bad lizard costumes, bodily fluid jokes, potty mouths, and a cruddy and pointless plot drenched in absolute ridiculosity makes The Land of the Lost a total waste of time and money.
While there were a several moments of funny sprinkled throughout the movie, the movie sort of awkwardly plunks along, not really caring about things like “plot”. The cheesy style of the movie seems to be trying to make hommage to the original television show with its crappy Sleestacks (lizard people) and made-for-TV sheen, but it could also just be a terrible movie.
I’d skip The Land of the Lost if I were you, and go see UP or Pelham 123
