I have seen half a dozen movies about people stumbling into some mysterious land where dinosaurs still exist and this is basically the same as all of them. One noticeable difference is the longer amount of time it takes them to get there. The only other one I remember taking so long to get there was At The Earth's Core, another Doug McClure snoozer. McClure is not much of a leading man and all his movies are very predictable but that's another story. Just like all the other dinosaur movies, they immediately start making up lies about the place as soon as they get there. There's plenty of slow moving dinosaurs that have a lot of difficulty catching humans but I must say they are better looking than most dinosaurs I have seen. There's no men in T-Rex suits, although you can clearly see the wires on the pterodactyl. All of the fight scenes take place in make believe old movie darkness. You know the kind where you can see the sun shining in the background but everything near the camera is impossible to see? I'm sure that was supposed to be some ancient movie magic but it was just lame. Almost on the level of a Roger Corman extreme close up, shaking camera fight scene. While this movie seemed to have a larger budget than all the movies it directly rips off, it's not really any better. If you think you want to see this just watch The Land Unknown instead.
