movie review - Land of the Lost
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-seven years and one million words
Toronto, 2017.11.09
This is a crass and awkward retelling of a classic sci-fi/fantasy story in which people find a lost world of dinosaurs and lizardfolk under the Earth's surface. The tone is decidedly self-mocking satire and the actors seem to be having the time of their lives. While told in a linear fashion, it tends to veer and jump around quite a bit but given the insane and immature dialog that's just fine.
I have to say, I enjoyed this. It's infectious.
Recommended. I think the crowd on imdb.com's ratings missed the point on this one.
