The Land That Time Forgot
“THE ADVENTURE YOU WILL NEVER FORGET!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 62, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A First World War submarine gets spectacularly lost and surfaces in a prehistoric world. Doug McClure faces dinosaur trouble and evolutionary explanations with the assurance of a man who packed for anything. The creatures are visibly handmade, and the adventure keeps finding new reasons to distrust the map.
