Negative Positive
Title: Great special effects, nothing else.
Review: The special effects in Lost World are even better than those of Jurassic Park, and this alone may make the film entertaining for many viewers. Unfortunately, in an apparent effort to target a teenage audience, the movie's creators have made a film with an absurd plot line and adult characters who act and speak like children. Consider, as just one example, the scene where the main group decides to bed down for the night in the jungle right after having been pursued by a hungry T-Rex; needless to say, they do not post a guard and the T-Rex "surprises" them while they are asleep. Although action films like this one do not need to be seamless, as one might expect from a "serious film," the level of idiocy in this movie will annoy most adults.
