Land of the Lost, as a specimen of what the Blu-ray format can offer, has to be considered a success. The picture and sound facilitate a pleasant and often invigorating viewing experience, being accomplished in both areas with only minor caveats to be highlighted. The extras are among the better examples to be seen and give just about every scrap of information a fan could ask for, with a nice blend of humorous light hearted mockumentaries mixed with more serious pieces about the actual production.

Unfortunately, the same high praise cannot be attached to the film itself. Fans of Ferrell may find something within that at least appeases their appetite for his style of comedy, but the vast majority will instead see an empty shell of a movie which lacks a real heart. If you have fond memories of the original series upon which this was based, then I can only assume you will fall within one of two camps, either hating it for ruining a cherished childhood memory, or finding the updating to be a nice ride of nostalgic family fun. For me, as an outsider to the series with no previous knowledge of it other than the barest hints picked up from its mention in other American comedies, I found this to be hollow and a misuse of both McBride and Ferrell’s comedy talents.

I saw the TV series about 4 years ago, I watched about 3 episodes before wondering what medication I was on when I was a kid and used to run home after school to watch it.
It seems that this has carried over into the movie, reading the review.
Maybe Hollywood should just leave those painful childhood memories alone??
Seems anyone can make a movie these days, and Will should be ashamed that he starred in this stinker..
