the lost world. ahh. what a fascinating idea. what a wonderful book by sir arthur conan doyle. and a great movie. this movie was not that great if you think only in american (big effects, lots of death and explosions but no blood or ethics, bad actors and an overdose on patriotism and heroism), it was great if you think like the rest of the world. a movie must have certain magic that captures you along with the journey, to the lost world. none of the horrible jurassic park movies ever could do that. the cast is absolutely great, especially the older cast, and the sceneries are wonderful and the character development especially nicely done. the tribe of the ape people is very fascinating although the costuming could have been better. all and all i love european movies and for a european movie this is actually quite big budget, and a decent version of the classic.
