It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

OTHER EPITHET OFT GOT AMPLE when trying to highlight the brilliance of THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT, if not The Place That Time Forgot. Time proves to be an illusion, once the present shifts periodically. Superseding this is when the present time shares two periods with consecutive physicals. Unofficially, this is a time travel escapade with zero concern to the concept itself—which aids at keeping some perils at bay; while preventing a stray from the set premise.The time machine in question is an biplane aircraft with a crew of four, set out to search for a lost naval hero. Embarking for an island located amid a polar enclosure, the mother-ship keeps their track from semi-frozen waters. Unaware of what to expect, they glide into a tropical isle, well sheltered from view by snow-capped ridges and peaks. Stumbling into a giant pterodactyl-us, they crash-land and realization sets in—expect anything, except it will be prehistoric.They encounter a number of dinosaurs, with the props made to be as convincing as possible, given this is an old film—one of the precursors to time travel and dinosaur films recurrent today, such as A Walk With Dinosaurs. Concurrent with the film'S overarching, there is a created language for the tribe of Nargas, who are fantastically costumed. Learnt broken English for the set's Sheena, Ajor, eliminates a lot of misunderstandings between her and the protagonists.Even though adventure prevailed and the mission went awry, it still incorporates to make it a task to pin down satisfactorily. Ah, time travel.

Before 'Star Wars' came along, '70's sci-fi movies were fairly bleak and pessimistic about Man's future, such as 'Zardoz', 'Soylent Green' and 'The Final Programme'. But there were one or two family fantasy movies about, such as the trilogy based on the novels of 'Tarzan' creator Edgar Rice Burroughs that began with 'The Land That Time Forgot' ( 1975 ). Produced by John Dark and directed by Kevin Connor, with American he-man Doug McClure as the lead, they were mocked in 'Red Dwarf', but four decades on still manage to work as entertainment, and were made on low budgets which makes them all the more remarkable.'People' begins with an expedition to the Arctic wastes to locate Bowen Tyler ( McClure ). The crew includes Ben McBride ( Patrick Wayne, son of John ), an old friend of Tyler's, Hogan ( Shane Rimmer ), an alcoholic pilot, Norfolk ( Thorley Walters ), a bumbling scientist, and Lady 'Charly' Cunningham ( Sarah Douglas, sporting a pre-'Princess Leia' hairstyle ), a crusading feminist news woman ( who is only there as her uncle's newspaper is funding the trip ). Taking to the sky in a plane, they are attacked by a Pterodactyl and are forced to land. According to Tyler's journal ( which was found in a bottle off the coast of Scotland ), this island is Caprona, and is inhabited by prehistoric monsters and primitive tribes people. Among the latter is stunningly sexy jazz singer Dana Gillespie as 'Ajor', who looks like she has fallen off the front cover of 'Cave Girl Monthly'. As you can probably guess, our heroes must battle both monsters and tribes people alike in a bid to survive. This was the 'Indiana Jones' of its day. The nice thing about these movies is that they are not camp, though they have humour. McClure does not show up until an hour into the picture ( a good thing some might say ) and then gets himself killed. As 'McBride', Wayne is no De Niro but does need to be ( he does look astonishingly like John Barrowman though! ). It was made in an era where heroes in movies did not suffer from angst, hence we are not treated to long-winded accounts of how McBride is racked with guilt over his brother's death ( or whatever ). The characters are one dimensional, and the film is better for it. Thorley Walters is, a ever, a delight to watch, and what can I say about Sarah Douglas except "Phwoar!". Mind you, she gets strong competition in the eye candy department from Gillespie.It goes without saying that special effects have improved leaps and bounds since this was made, but that's no reason ( not in my book ) to dismiss the movie as rubbish. Good effects don't necessarily mean a good movie. Dark and Connor made two more films together ( one with McClure ): 'Warlords Of Atlantis' ( 1978 ) and 'Arabian Adventure' ( 1979 ), both derived from original scripts by 'Dr.Who' writer Brian Hayles.If you decide to watch this, have a big box of popcorn handy ( just be careful you don't choke when Gillespie appears. Obviously they had not invented underwear on Caprona yet! ).

I am a sucker for Lost World movies. This one was made as a sequel to the Land that Time Forgot. The movie picks up with an attempted rescue attempt of Tyler, who was left stranded on the lost land of Caprona. But let's face it, The People That Time Forgot is not a good movie. It has some potential but overall the movie drags. And for a lost world movie, the landscape and creatures are boring.The first 15 minutes of the movie were great and I was hooked. The props and costumes evoke the period of post WWI. The miniature ship and float plane are particularly interesting models and interact well in their miniature settings. Our adventurers enter the lost world by flying the float plane over mountains after getting in as close to the south pole as possible in a steam ship. Just as in the movie "Land Unknown" (1957) the plane is damaged and forced to land by an attacking pteronodon. Our adventurers have arrived in the lost world! From this point however, the movie drops way down in quality. The landscape is bleak and uninteresting. I wondered why this boring heath and volcanic rock area was chosen over a lush jungle like the first movie. Worse, the dinosaurs are a step down in quality from "Land the Time Forgot", which is saying something. They don't have much to do besides provide a glimpse of a threat through the trees and roar ineffectually. They don't eat anyone. Only one creature, a cave monster actually gets to attack our heroes. The 'people' of this land are a let down. One group is the very silly, ever chasing and yelling at a distance cave men. They capture the adventurers, but we never get a close look at them, nor do we get a glimpse of their culture. The other 'people' of this world are the skull collecting samurai. Again, we see very little of what might make them interesting. OK, there are a few moments where the skull samurai get to pose and preen a bit while preparing to decapitate the women. But really, why bother calling the the movie 'The People That Time Forgot' if you are not going anywhere with the people? The first movie gave us so much more in terms of cultural groups. The expedition characters are purely stock, and no interesting chemistry or conflicts develop within the party as a result of their potentially awesome contact with a prehistoric world. The expedition consists of a female photographer whose father owns a newspaper and is putting up the cash for this trip, Tyler's BFF who is determined to rescue him, his trusty half-drunk comic relief sidekick, and a not-convincing scientist type. Along the way they enlist the aid of a beautiful and scantily-clad cave girl (Dana Gillespie). She carries the film with her primordial sex appeal. There are way too many padded scenes of the group strolling around the trees and hills. The fight scenes don't work because they are poorly done and they have no real drama because nothing seems to be at stake besides immediate self defense. There is no interaction among characters except for stock exchanges of uninspired dialog. Overall the actors seems confused and bored while they meander from point A to point B. But there are a few good scenes in the film, one of the best being the meeting and rescue of Tyler (Doug McClure) in a skull infested prison cell. By the end of the movie, you realize why the filmmakers chose the location they did. A nearly unlimited number of explosions are set off at the climax of the film. That sequence ended up being kind of fun. But final scene of the film...awkward and lame.

"The Land that Time Forgot" was actually a rather great camp classic of the 70s. The special effects in that film were just horrendous, yet the movie was nothing short of entertaining and superb when it comes to fun and energy. The sequel, titled "The People that Time Forgot" is also kind of a like a movie that time forgot. The special effects used on the dinosaurs are a bit better than those achieved in the prequel (yet the pterodactyls still can't move their wings at all!) The movie is fun to watch, yet people have almost forgotten it entirely this day."The People that Time Forgot" features the exact kind of cast that you would expect from a caveman-dinosaur flick. Adventurers, scientists, dinosaurs, cavemen, and volcanic eruptions. So it is pretty typical for a film of its type. Acting by the cast, including Patrick Wayne and Doug McClure, was well regarded in my opinion of the film. And the fights between the humans and the cavemen, as you see in a lot of films like this, they were just plain old good fun.But what doesn't work about "The People that Time Forgot" that did work in "The Land that Time Forgot"? The sequel is just not full of the energy and originality that the first one had. And it just didn't have the overall feeling that the first one did.
