another day stick indoors and another film to watch . have finally complete my christmas shopping yesterday on a cold and foggy afternoon and i have nowhere else to go to escape the land that time forgot . or rather and i have nothing else to watch . doug mcclure and that bastion of lead man actor and lead a handful of allied sailor sink by a u boat somewhere in the atlantic in 1916. capture the u boat ( in a scene that defy logic and reason ) and they eventually find themselves on a strange island and apparently untouched by human hand . together and they explore the land and discover dinosaur and neanderthal . can they escape before become a permanent resident of the land that time forget . despite be make few year before star war and these film be light year apart in term of special effect . the model shot be little good than anything you would expect to see in an episode of gerry anderson stingray and the creature aren not much well either . when the t rex ( i be assume that what it be ) be kill and it fell in the same way that zombie do when you kill them freeze in mid walk and collapsing and arm and leg hold out like a sleep cow that be push over . grant and the set aren not too bad but the lousy acting and endless explosion noise ( which all sound the same ) do their best to ruin credibility and your enjoyment of the picture a a whole . character be neither believable or worthy of your sympathy a they fire their gun at seemingly anything that move . in the end and i just do not care if they get off the island or not and by the time the end come and i be more relieved than entertain . costume be authentic enough until the caveman arrive and it be bear skin bikini and loin cloth all round . and although it be fairly obvious from their action and you wouldn not have know that some character be german from their accent . the whole thing just lack some polish and cohesion and leave the viewer confuse in place and nonplus in others . overall and this film barely register a ripple of excitement these day although you can find some small amusement in try to work out where colin farrell be . i spot his name in the credit and half expect a baby to appear with an irish accent and suspect facial hair . oh well . nothing particularly great here to see then and but just about ok if youre eat your lunch and the weather be prevent further activity .
