Land of the Lost

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Only loosely based on the original TV series, Land of the Lost is decidedly less kid-friendly and feels more like a series of inconsistent sketches than a cohesive adventure comedy.

Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Land of the Lost | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It doesn't help that everyone easily outruns the T-Rex, language barriers are introduced but practically ignored, and every dilemma or antagonist presents zero real threat. Rated: 5/10 Nov 29, 2020 Full Review Land of the Lost | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Falls short of its comic potential.

James E Not the greatest work for most of the cast and crew. It confuses its serious moments with comedy and its comedic moments with random jokes that don’t fit the rest of the joke. It has surprisingly decent cgi and not all of the jokes fall flat. It’s an easy watch for easy laughs that you forget about after the movie ends. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Dashell N Don't trust the reviews it's really good Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review William F Pretty good movie but not masterpiece or great just a good comedy movie Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Stephen J The first 10 minutes of the movie was the best: very funny. Once they got to the land of the lost, the movie got really boring. And not very funny. But then at the end, the comedy got better. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Grant T A fun will Ferrell comedy that feels like a very original movie !! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Dalilah P Plot is very strange and boring Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
