I relate watching this movie to getting a kaleidoscope though my eye...

Rating: 4/10 (12 June 2007)

Really, what does this movie have to offer the the first didn't do 1000x better? I can go through a whole list of things wrong with this movie, but I think I'll just make the shorter list of what is right with this movie.
-Kevin Bacon is not in it.
-Michael Bay did not direct it.
-It didn't win any note-worthy awards.
I love Jurassic Park as if it were my child. I'd have to say it is easily one of the most essential pieces in cinema. It's in a league of it's on. I like to call that league the league of tearing-up. And by tearing-up, I mean neatly serving you your own hind-quarters on fine china with all the trimmings.
Let's go on to what is wrong with The Lost World.
I understand the reasons for this movie not following the book. Because then it would be ultra-boring and leave 99.9% of the people watching it completely confused. Why is this? Well, because the book is just Malcolm going on and on about evolution and adaptation. Interesting read, boring movie. But this abomination of a film is just whole wrong. I think a movie based off the book would have been better than this. Not as entertaining or as fun (as this movie actually was at some points), but definitely better.
This movie, no matter how many times I watch it, will always just seem like a bad dream in my mind. It just leaves a bad tasted. Like that time I chewed on a dead rabbit.
Overall point: This movie leaves me feeling uncomfortable, even when sitting in a micro-fiber message chair. It's awkward and shaky like a palsy victim working in fast-food. It just leaves a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, like I shouldn't be watching it. Which is why I relate it to getting a kaleidoscope though my eye-socket.
