Movie of the Lost

1/5

I'm not even sure I have the heart to give a synopsis... Dr. Rick Marshall, PhD (Will Ferrell) has discovered a type of energy which if... Well, basically he and two other people (Anna Friel and Danny McBride) go through a space-time hole to another dimension, a dimension full of really whacked out stuff. There's lizard people and monkey people and dinosaurs and motels and all sorts of other stuff you'd find in a space-time hole (at least I'd guess).

There is nothing positive to say about this sloppy, disjointed failure of a movie. I usually love Will Ferrell and root for him even when he's in a mediocre movie, but I could barely tolerate a single moment of this movie. Nothing works, the jokes are nearly all duds, the CGI is sub-par, the characters are all shallow and lack any depth or appeal. I've watched movies where every joke was in the trailer, Land of the Lost is similar in this fashion, however at least the jokes were funny in the other movies. I'm sorry if I am at my most negative in this review, but I can't find anything to praise in this film.

Pros:
Will Ferrell, though at his very worst, is still a funny guy at times.

Cons:
Mediocre CGI. Boring, unrelatable characters. Horrid costume design. Terrible script.

Bottom Line:
Land of the Lost is a hopeless wreck. I wouldn't even recommend this one as a rental.
