The Land That Time Forgot 2009

Okay so here is another one that I missed. Based off of Edgar Rice Burrough's 1918 novel of the same name, and a remake of the 1975 film.

The film takes place in the present, with two couples out on the Caribbean in a charter boat, passing through a bizarre storm. When they emerge on the other side the sun is shining, everyone is sleeping, and there is an unknown island off their bow. Once going ashore it doesn't take long for the small group to realize that it's no normal island, and danger is in the much too clean air.

The effects are not the greatest, it's no Jurassic Park, But what can you expect with only a $600,000 budget. However, the film has it's charm, and the Dinos don't look that bad either. The story is clean, and the acting is stellar, with wonderful performances by C. Thomas Howell, Timothy Bottoms, Darren Dalton, and Lindsey McKeon. The movie may not be one that you want to watch over and over, but it is worth the rental fee to watch once.

I give The Land that Time Forgot 3 1/2 stars... with a larger budget and better dino effects this film would easily be a 4 or 41/2 pushing toward a 5.
