Synopsis

A forest ranger along with his two children inadvertently stumble into a mysterious land populated by dinosaurs and other creatures, including the mysterious and dangerous race of Sleestak. Has-been scientist, Dr. Rick Marshall (Will Ferrell), is sucked into a vortex and spat back through time. Way back. Now, Marshall has no weapons, few skills and questionable smarts to survive in an alternate universe full of marauding dinosaurs and fantastic creatures from beyond our world - a place of spectacular sights and super-scaled comedy known as the Land of the Lost. Based on the classic TV Series created by Sid and Marty Krofft. The movie is inspired by the 1974 TV series, with the same producers, Sid and Marty Krofft.

Critics' reviews

"What's really lost in 'Land of the Lost'? Humor and originality. (...) It's hard to know just who the intended audience is: The movie is too surreal and bawdy for young kids and too silly for anyone older than 25."

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"Will Ferrell and Danny McBride can find the dumb fun in anything. Too bad that 'Land of the Lost' is so much less than anything. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"The only marginally interesting, if unsurprising, thing about the pricey movie spinoff of the junky children’s television show 'Land of the Lost' is that a lot of money has been spent on yet another cultural throwaway"

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"Will Ferrell's terminally stupid, sloppy, campy and cheesy experiment in 'family entertainment.'"

Lou Lumenick: New York Post
"It's all noise and flash and chaos, but it lacks virtually everything that made the original television series so memorable"

Marc Savlov: Austin Chronicle
"'Land of the Lost' is one of those films so caught up in its concept it has forgotten its audience."

Liam Lacey: The Globe and Mail
"The result is a movie with an exceedingly narrow target audience that should test Will Ferrell's appeal among boys maybe ages 12-14"

Brian Lowry: Variety
"The whole thing feels at least three summers too stale."

Rene Rodriguez: Miami Herald
