Land of the Lost... What Would You Have Done?
It seems we see this happening constantly these day. Studios remaking old television series and movies in a desperate attempt that it might be successful because it has a name everyone will recognize. This mentality really falls short, and the 2009 remake of "Land of the Lost" truly demonstrates this. While I can certainly see the humor in the film, I shake my head as I ponder what could've been. The thing is, that Land of the Lost, the original series by Sid and Marty Croft, became a cult classic because of its uniquely crafted story structure. Land of the Lost introduced to viewers many interesting concepts which could've been taken a step farther by the movie. Instead the studio chose to push aside the idea of taking the concepts presented in the series and building upon that and instead chose a parody. Whether you enjoyed the 1974 TV series, or only ever saw the 1991 remake, or if you're just a general fan of films, what would you have done with the movie if you had been in charge?
