Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

So much average

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

As a 70's child I loved this show.... It is amazing that with such little money and bad acting, we were all so entertained for so long. I enjoyed this so much as a kid that I have purchased the series on DVD for my children. Nowdays for a lot of children, unless the budget is in the millions and all the imagination is removed (creating mindless, non-thinking zombies) they cannot sit and enjoy the simple things.As "cheesy" as some say this series was, by reading some responses here, it made a lot of us "70's" kids get up early on a Saturday morning! I have also found lids-ville, Sigmund the sea monster, HR puff and stuff, lost saucer and far out space nuts episodes on DVD.At nearly 40, I am able to visit my childhood every Saturday with my kids when we watch them....

I actually read that they fell through a time trap(door) What?? They were on a camping trip and they went over a waterfall and ended up in the land of the lost. OK now that I got that off of my chest why was Holly so annoying? She was always complaining. Dad why is a boulder coming after us? Dad why is that dinosaur going to eat us? It never was out of fear but rather the sound of an annoying child. Also about those boulders...come on. They were the size of a peanut. I guess that is why they would shrink the actors to make the rocks appear much larger. I just bought the show on DVD. I hope it is worthwhile. I guess just seeing Holly's face in braids on the cover is worth the price.

This was my favorite Saturday morning program by Sid and Marty KrofftOn a rafting expedition, the Marshall family (Holly, Will and father Rick) fall down a waterfall into a time portal which sent them to the Land of the Lost. The land of the lost was a prehistoric world. Each week, the Marshall family faced many challenges and shared many learning experiences in the Land of the Lost. It was a story of survival. They dodged dinosaurs and befriended Cha-Ka, who was a prehistoric simian humanoid. Cha-Ka could speak in his native language Pakuni, which was learned by the Marshall Family. It is my understanding that a Pakuni dictionary has been written for those of you who want to learn Pakuni.For its time the special effects were very good but the acting sometimes was overkill and really fake which made me laugh just because it seemed so stupid. But then again, the actors were often acting to a blue screen and the special effects were added later.The thing that I remember the most about this show (other than my crush for actress Kathy Coleman who played Holly Marshall) was the Sleestak. Remember the Sleestak? Those giant walking hissing lizards with those big bug eyes? A few of the Sleestak were played by professional basketball players. They really scared me as a kid and I always remembered that to get rid of them all I had to do was to touch a blue and green crystal together to create a force field. The settings of the Land of the Lost were very imaginative and unique such as the lost city and the pylons. The background music was both a little corny but eerie too!There were also many other memorable characters in this show including the Zarn, Enik, Ta, Sa and Malak. The Zarn was the most mysterious and scariest character in the series. The Zarn was often invisible and his presence could be heard and it sounded like wind chimes cutting through the eerie silence.You can find more information about the show on the Land of the Lost website: www.landofthelost.comThis program had 43 episodes and ran for 3 years (1974-1977). It has been released on DVD. You can buy the DVD series on Ebay.

This probably was one of the best shows to ever be put on Saturday afternoons. This pretty much came at the time when the Kroffts were moving away from the wild fantasy shows that made them famous ("H.R. Pufnstuff", "Lidsville", "The Bugaloos") to more adventure oriented shows. This definitely was the best and most memorable of all their adventure oriented shows. The Marshalls were pretty much a real family who were put into an unusual situation of being lost in another dimension fighting all sorts of dinosaurs and other exotic creatures. Also, the Sleestack's were probably the most frightening villains that ever were created for a Saturday morning show. This definitely is one of the best shows to ever come from the minds of Sid and Marty Krofft.
