Land of the Lost
Parental warning: This may be a Sid & Marty Krofft Production, but it is not your Saturday morning kiddie show. Dr. Rick Marshall (Will Ferrell) has invented a tachyon amplifier that is capable of opening time warp portals. New interpretations of Will and Holly get sucked along with Rick into the Land of the Lost where they have a riotous misadventure amongst dinosaurs, monkey people, and lizard people. The special effects are a vast upgrade from the cheesy ones of the original TV series. The humor has been retooled for young adults. Ferrell fans won’t be disappointed as Will goes through his usual over the top antics and shtick. Matt Lauer is involved in a funny cameo bit. During the middle of the credits, a surprise reveal is hatched.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "quantum paleontology" stars out of 4.
