We never really thought we would care much for this remake of the sci-fi TV show, “Land of the Lost,” starring Will Ferrell, Danny McBride and the very attractive Anna Friel, and this teaser spot doesn’t do anything to instill much confidence either. It’s just a big popcorn movie; a fun “Jurassic Park,” for the mainstream crowd and screams PG-13. But your little brother or sister and less discerning film blog should love it. Dumb special effects enthusiasts should mark down June 5 on their calendar.
Update: Here’s some other spots from films we don’t really care for because we’re not 17-year-old boys trapped in the bodies of late 20-somethings: “G.I. Joe,” “Transformers 2″and “Star Trek”
In all fairness, I think these are more dedicated to people with the mentality of a twelve year old more than anything else. Someone with the mentality of a seventeen year old SHOULD scoff at the idea of a dead serious GI Joe movie.
Actually that’s true. And I should know better even though i did pick that age number randomly. Even my own 17-year-old brother knows better. He’d never pay to see crap like this.
I’m disappointed that Land of the Lost is going to be a comedy. I’d much prefer to see a mature take on the Land of the Lost concept. I love the old TV show for it’s sci-fi underpinnings and melodrama, not the goofiness that occasionally crept in.
If you’re interested in Land of the Lost, you might want to visit my fan site with coverage of both versions of the TV series and the latest news on the upcoming movie.
