After watching this I have to say that even the TV show Planet of the Apes had a better plot line for one if it's episodes. I guess the SFX budget was blown on the TNT that was expended during the final minutes of the movie. This was on par with Land Of The Lost in terms of SFX. I think if you want to experience an E.R. Burroughs story you may want to get an audio or regular book.
I'm old enough to remember the effects & acting from my genertion. However we did have Star Trek in the 60's And Star wars in the late seventies and this movie in any era was fair at best!?
Doug McClure was a bad actor then and would be a bad actor now, no matter how advanced our computer generated effects are today! I did enjoy the story, tho, when i read the Edgar Rice Burroughs' books as a kid! Stick with the books, they're so much better even today!
This was the original. This movie was the sequel to "The Land That Time Forgot", not a remake.
And I'd say the vast majority of those who didn't care for this flick, or ones like it, are young. In it's time, this movie was pretty much state of the art, so it's only natural those of a younger generation would consider the effects cheesy, etc. They grew up with cgi, and have never known anything else. Obviously their parents never taught them to respect those who came before them. Never forget where you came from, Junior. If not for those before you, you would not exist.
Not as good as the original, but a must see if you ever saw "The Land That Time Forgot". Yes, the special effects are cheesy by todays standard, but not a bad movie.
Yeah it's cheesy and the effects are weak by today's standards, but they were done in a different time when the means we have today were not available. That point aside, too many movies today use special effects to cover the fact that modern actors can't really act (they just look good) and modern writers can't write good storylines or develop characters well. That's all my opinion, of course.
