The Lost World

Maybe it is a low budget movie, but in 1998 with computer aid the dinosaurs could have been better. Very predictable and the first half is something bored. I think Sir Arthur Doyle could die again if he saw this movie.

I kind of agree with Matthew: "...I would probably buy it if I had the chance, but not because I thought it was a good movie, it would be because of the fact that there were two things I enjoyed: the unpredictability of the story, and how Malone deals with the T-Rex in the ending. " I have never read the original and I should before commenting on any of the movies, but this one was oh so dark, right from the beginning and all the way to the end. It's the only version I know of where everyone dies and the last person is marooned. NOTHING like any of the other versions. Now that's a courageous idea but unfortunately it was very badly executed. And what was Bergin thinking? He was so awesome in Mountains of the Moon.

A very predictable plot that has its hero, heroine and villains. So So effects with a predictable outcome. Only 4 out of 10...

I wouldn't normally watch a film like this, but it was on during the 5th day of the PGA golf tournament, and I had to watch something during the lulls between action. The acting is amateurish, maybe high-school drama level. The special effects are "cheesy". The T-Rex didn't look very real. The story is trite. Other than that, it was a pretty entertaining flick.

The movie had the potential to be good. But, after about 20 minutes the viewer should give up. Granted I was not expecting great special effects, but good special effects would have been nice. The effects were BAD, they can't even be classified as special. The make-up, oh-so bad. The storyline BAD, BAD. The blond haired Diva, yea ok she looks this good after living alone for 11 years? The primitive tribes, I think they came from "Gilligan's Island". The costumes - where did the two Divas get those lace up shoes? This movie could have been good, if they never would have made it.

*1/2 out of *****.
