Land of the Lost Audience Reviews

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Syl I used to watch this series as a child in syndication. Watching it as an adult, I couldn't help but notice that they wear the same outfits throughout the first season. The acting seems staged and forced at times. While the series is cheesy with it's sets and story lines, I found it to be entertaining again. The cast of the family should have been bigger. After all, Rick and kids, Will and Holly, are in the land of the lost. They only have Chaka, a hairy creature, and they have to run from dinosaurs and the Sleestak (the green men). Sure, the series is laughable as an adult but I had fond memories of watching it as a child. I don't know if younger audiences will get it or even believe it is possible. Still, you have to get past the cheesy sets, costumes, and special effects to really enjoy it. It's not so bad after all!
jim-2441 This was the best show I remember from my childhood. The Sleestak were clearly big-eyed representations of "The Man". Anywhere you went, they were lurking there to kill your buzz.There was one Sleestak that was friendly. He was an old man who knew how to use crystal, I mean crystals to get s**t done.Chaka was that one foreign kid you hung out with. He didn't make any sense, but he was hilarious to watch. The father figure was OK enough. At least he didn't keep the kids from going out and looking for crystal, I mean crystals, and teasing dinosaurs and such. If Holly and Chaka had a thing, I think he would have fed Chaka to a dinosaur or thrown him off a cliff.
walden02 As a 70's child I loved this show.... It is amazing that with such little money and bad acting, we were all so entertained for so long. I enjoyed this so much as a kid that I have purchased the series on DVD for my children. Nowdays for a lot of children, unless the budget is in the millions and all the imagination is removed (creating mindless, non-thinking zombies) they cannot sit and enjoy the simple things.As "cheesy" as some say this series was, by reading some responses here, it made a lot of us "70's" kids get up early on a Saturday morning! I have also found lids-ville, Sigmund the sea monster, HR puff and stuff, lost saucer and far out space nuts episodes on DVD.At nearly 40, I am able to visit my childhood every Saturday with my kids when we watch them....
powersroc This was an intriguing Saturday morning TV series created by Sid & Marty Kroft. The Marshall family;father Rick,son Will,& daughter Holly are out on a camping trip when the raft ride they take plunges down a waterfall & into a crevasse following an earthquke.In this unknown world they encounter prehistoric animals,the remains of a very old city carved out of stone,a race of humanoid lizards,& mysterious pylons located throughout the jungle.Wonderful stop motion animation was used in this show,a special fx rarely seen on television shows.There was also some terrific matte work depicting this lost land.The actors were appealing,& David Gerrold,Larry Nivan,D.C.Fontana,& Theodore Sturgeon were some of the top flight talent contributing scripts to the show.It was a kids show that aspired to bring spectacle,nifty fx,& quality writing to each episode.
