The movie that time forgot......
27 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Major Ben McBride organises a mission to the Antarctic wastes to search for his friend who has been missing in the region for several years.

McBride's party find themselves in a world populated by primitive warriors and terrifying prehistoric creatures, all of whom they must evade in order to get back safely to their ship.....

The Land That Time Forgot was a funny throwaway bit of fluff that had a funny soundtrack and great monster effects. It was a success, so it was a given that some sort of follow up would be made.

This, however isn't the way to follow up a fun ninety minute adventure movie. Imagine Jurassic Park with an hour of the group on a boat, and then thirty minutes of them on foot, and then twenty minutes of dinosaurs? Sounds rubbish doesn't it.

Well this is that film, twenty minutes on a boat, ten minutes on a plane with cinemas most annoying pterodactyl, and then lots of walking.

The rest of the film is just Doug McClure trying to win the film from everyone else, and Ursa from Superman with Princess Leia buns.

It all ends with a glowing volcano, and not much else.

A pointless movie, devoid of the awkward charm the first film had.
