THE PLOT:

A passenger plane crash lands on an island on their way to a South American resort. Trapped in this bizarre and hostile land, they only thing to do is trek to one of the other planes that seemed to have crashed here to find the needed parts to repair it.

But this is a harsh and unforgiving island full of giant beasts that is out to eat the lost travelers.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

Where to begin on this pile of dog plop? The DVD cover, that's a good spot. The DVD cover has a picture of a giant ape, an ancient temple and three big helicopters. One, the ape looks nothing like the DVD cover and there is no sign of the Helicopters or the ancient temple. So right off the bat the movie lies to us, lie number two. The DVD box claims that this movie and King Kong was based on the lost world. There were no big monkeys in the Lost World. Now that we are done exposing the lies of the box let's move on to the movie itself. The CG is a joke, the story doesn't make any sense. If they were over South America, how did they get on an island? Bruce Boxleitner played a Government agent looking for a downed military plane with a nuke in it. Once they find it, what does he call in PLANES! When he knows full well from his own experience that planes don't work there. That was just stupid. SPOILER WARNING, Bruce Boxleitner blows up the nuke killing the big monkey. Leaving two people trapped there with no hope of rescue. It's stupid, it's deceitful, it's just a waste of your time. But the one I truly feel sorry for is Bruce Boxleitner. He's better this this pile of puke. Bruce, what the hell were you thinking? THE NOOSE!

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

Other then this being one of the rare giant monster movies with nudity in it, I must agree with Zedd. I hated this movie on so many levels. It's just wrong that's what it is, just wrong and should be burned and who ever is responisble for that DVD cover should be thrown behind bars for blaten fraud. THE NOOSE as well.

ON THE POSTIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ BRUCE BOXLEITER (Bruce Boxleitner is way too good for this crapper.)
+ NUDITY (It's refreshing to see skin in a giant monster movie.)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE(- MISSES):

- DVD COVER (The cover to this movie is a complete lie and the makers should be sued for fraud.)
- SENSE (If they were flying over South America, then they should have crashed in South America. DUH!)
- CG (The GGI effects were a bad joke.)
- CAST (Most of the cast were only so-so acting.)
- CHARACTERS (All the chracters were piss poorly written.)
- STUPID GOVERNMENT (Knowing that airplanes crash on this "island" what does the agent do? Call in an air strike and what a surprise, the planes stop working and crash.)
- DOYLE RIP-OFF (King Kong was an original concept and there was no giant monkeys in Doyle's LOST WORLD.)

AND FINALLY...

- CLIMAX (After the Government agent detonates the nuke, the last two are stranded in this harsh and dangerous land. Forgetting the big monkey wasn't the only dangerous monster.)
