If there was ever a hyped movie that didn't impress it was Land of the Lost, starring Will Farrell as Doctor Rick Marshall. The movie which was intended to be funny, only had maybe one or two scenes that made me laugh and the special effects and green screen imagery that they used didn't even come close to making the scenes look realistic. Dr. Marshall is a scientist that has come up with theories about time warps and how there is a parallel dimension that he is able to explore with a so called tachyon amplifier that he built. He is laughed out of science class by his colleagues and students, until another scientist named Holly Cantrel played by Anna Friel rescues him from teaching at an elementary school. They set out to find this so called other dimension and get help from Will Stanton (Danny McBride) and an creature named Chaka (Jorma Taccone). They run into dinosaurs and mystical creatures in their journey to find their tachyon amplifier so that they can return home. The movie becomes more and more bizarre and senseless and the story line diminishes into less then even remotely funny jokes. I give Land of the Lost two thumbs down, for a comedy it left me less then tickeled!
