The Land That Time Forgot (2009)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2009
Director: C. Thomas Howell
Actors: C. Thomas Howell (E.T., Red Dawn), Timothy Bottoms, Lindsey McKeon
Country: USA
Genre: Fantasy
Conditions of visioning: 13.06.2014, Blu-ray, Home cinema
Synopsis: A group of friends on a yacht encounter a magnetic storm and end up on an island hosting prehistoric animals.
Review: Not ten minutes in the movie and the group was already stranded, they have met a T-rex and Pterodactyles, and one of them was dead. So much for introducing the story and the characters!
I bought this Blu-ray second-hand because it is presented in anaglyph 3D, with blue and red glasses and I thought this could be fun. But after 5 minutes I switched to the 2D version because the balance of the light between the two eyes was not even, and the colors gave me a headache. Unfortunately both versions are on the same disk, and the compression quality is poor so it looks like a DVD.
The movie is produced by the same firm (The Asylum) that brought to you Dinocroc vs. Supergator or Sharknado and which is known for its cheap Fantasy movies, but The Land that Time Forgot is especially bad for its story, actors, dialogs and special effects.
There is really nothing to salvage from this movie.
Rating: 0 /10
