I agree.

This is going to be a rental, at best.

This movie looks retarded, unless it was filmed in that way if it's going to be shown in 3D? Every scene looked like it was filmed for that purpose, as in Fraser's Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D movie...

The trailer actually surprised me a bit in that I thought it would look like total shit and it doesn't. I'll probably check this one out.

I disagree...a "serious" LAND OF THE LOST movie about a family that gets trapped in another dangerous dimension could be as powerful on the big screen as JJ Abrams' LOST is on the small screen. Those effects on the TV show may have been "cheesy" in the mid-70s, but they were never intended to be - nor were the stories, many of which were written by the day's best sci-fi writers.

I think they did the best to recreate the cheesiness of the original show with modern technology.

Back then everything was chromakeyed.

The intro of the show never seemed to coincide with the series itself. The intro suggest that they they plummeted 1,000 feet down a waterfall in a cavern. Which would mean that the Land of the Lost was underground. Yet, in all the episodes you could see a sun and sky. In may episodes it suggested they were in some other dimension and some they time travelled back in time on earth. Which one was it?

Who gives a shit as long as the stories were entertaining? And they were..

if danny mcbride is in it, i'll be seeing it.

During the fall in the waterfall, they passed thru a "mist" that was a doorway into another time/deminsion/world. The "pylons" were also used for transporting.

Are Danny McBride and John C. Reilly interchangable Will Ferrell sidekicks?

danny mcbride and will ferrell have never been in a movie together.

I guess the original series has went out of print. I only have the first season. I wonder if Rhino even has the rights anymore? This would be the perfect time for a re-release.

Anna Friel put me over the top in wanting to see this.

It looks funny.

In the original, they fell into a pocket dimension built by the ancient ancestors of the Sleestak (who had since devolved into primitives). Different pylons across the land controlled different aspects of the dimension, like time or the progression of the celestial bodies in the sky. The dimension was such that in one episode they climbed one of the mountains that surrounded the valley and looked out with binocculars and saw themselves from behind.

There were a lot of cool ideas in the show that could be perfect for a primetime TV remake, but isn't "Lost" pretty close as it is?

Kinda surprisingly they are going the PG-13 rating for this one. I say well done Universal:
PG-13 for crude and sexual content, language including drug refrences

Did you really expect Land of the Lost to be R?

I expected it to be PG so I am happy it is rated PG-13.

Okay, It wasn't like you to be excited that something was PG-13

though I grew up with the 1990's version which I loved growing up

this movie looks pretty bad, all the ads I havent smiled once.

It's probably PG-13 because there will be a lot of dinosaur poop and pee.

I know it's an old post but I'd never seen that before.

I'll be seeing this Tuesday in Austin with the Director Brad Silberling and composer Michael Giacchino in attendance. Marty Krofft is supposed to be there as well.

I'll let you guys know what I think about it once that time rolls around.

That sounds like it should be pretty awesome.

trailers make it look like it will be a lot of fun.

I'll most likely be seeing it. Although I'm not the biggest Will Ferrill fan, the fact the movie has Danny McBride and Anna Friel in it might make up for it. And it's also directed by Brad Silberling, who gave my childhood a good moment with Casper. Even if it's underwhelming, it is more than likely that it will be better than Transformers and its upcoming sequel combined.
