The Lost World (1960)

 Second viewing, and possibly first one with original audio and correct aspect ratio. Previously viewed on September 7, 1991.

A scientist claims to have discovered a plateau where prehistoric animals live. He assembles a group of people and they go on a new expedition intending to actually reach that plateau and explore it.

There are several problems with this film, the main one being the poor special effects which simply show existing animals "decorated" with some accessories and shown in amplified size. The script provides some very mild entertainment, without much in the way of creativity or surprises.

Rating: 37 (down from 45)
