An eccentric scientist (Claude Rains) returns from the Amazon with news of a distant plateau where creatures from the dawn of time still prowl the jungle. To prove his story, he gathers a team of explorers, including a journalist (David Hedison), a playboy-adventurer )Michael Rennie), a beautiful socialite (Jill St. John), and a pilot (Fernando Lamas) with a secret plan of revenge. But an unexpected attack on their camp leaves the group stranded in a world of dinosaurs and other exotic creatures, where humans are no longer the lords of the earth¿they are helpless prey.

us oldsters gotta love those old saturday matimees
After reading all the review's pro and cons, I remember this film from my youth, and remember the hawking and badgering to get my parents to let me stay up late many a night to watch this over and over. Guess what, I still gratuitously enjoy it. Along with it's counterpart, JTTCOTE, and the Harryhausen films that made our youth. We didn't have the computer aided effects and the million man staffs, what we did have is something this generation has lost, imagination, sorry, it's true. Their little minds just cannot fathom having to fill things in. Four thumbs up, uh, use your imagination if you dare!

The Lost World
The Irwin Allen movie is a bit cheesey, but the print is good.
The silent version accompanying it is better dramatically and is very well preserved.

Guilty Pleasure From MY Youth
Great Irwin Allen action flick from my childhood. It's funny that the bonus silent "Lost World" had better creatures--stop-motion not just lizards with add-ons. Fun overall.

If you really have nothing to do. . . .
This has to be one of the worst movie I ever forced my way through - it fact - I could only watch about half of the movie. The actors and actresses (I use the terms quite loosely) plus the "background sets" - are all fourth rate material.

Don't bother buying this DVD. If you really want to watch it - please just rent it. Then if you want to buy it - be my guest, you are truly a better person than me.

The Lost World
Loved both films it made movie night fun for everyone, adults and kids alike. The films contained no profanity, nudity and minimal violence.
