Customer Reviews

This is a double plus good adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's “Lost World.”

An incidentally put-together team of an explorer (Bob Hoskins), his rival (James Fox), a reporter (Matthew Rhys), a hunter (Tom Ward), a missionary (Peter Falk), and his jungle-cloistered niece (Elaine Cassidy) become a team for a great adventure of which you are already aware. They follow a map case of caves that will carry them up to a high plateau where no man has gone before. There they encounter wondrous prehistoric phenomena. But mostly they learn about themselves; with any luck, we also learn a little about ourselves as we view this movie. Please excuse the double-plus reference, as I could not think of a good adjective. Not being a Latin student, I can also end my sentences with prepositions. I purposely did not go into much detail about the story, as I wanted it to unfold as you are watching it. Speaking of unfolding, if you have an evolution phobia, part of the story may be a little distracting or disturbing. I must confess that instead of seeing the DVDs, I have only seen this twice on television, so I am not sure what I might have missed; however, watching this BBC presentation before reading any of the reviews allowed me to be surprised to see the late Peter Falk. I found the conclusion decision as to whether one should reveal the escarpment findings to the public and have it overwhelmed and destroyed or give up wealth and fame by denying it exists is an intriguing question. What would you have done?
