Seven people on a boat get
pulled into the Bermuda Triangle by a heavy storm. A mysterious bright light
appears, and they all lose consciousness. When they awaken, they’re adrift near
a mysterious island with no means of communication and no working instruments.
This is how the 2009 adventure-comedy Dinosaur
Island (also known as The Land That
Time Forgot) begins.
The island, they soon
discover, seems to exist within a time-space warp inside the Bermuda Triangle.
As they set to learn more about the island, they soon meet hungry prehistoric
dinosaurs and other castaways lost in time, including the stand-offish crew of
a shipwrecked German U-boat.
C. Thomas Howell, the film’s
main star and director, plays Frost Michaels, a newly-wed husband who loses his
wife along with the boat as soon as he goes ashore. As Michaels looks for his
wife, he—along with the rest of the humans—struggles to stay alive as he also attempt
to find ways to get off the island.
The movie is far from perfect,
but that’s exactly where its merits lie. You’ll find a sprinkle of witty humour
here and there aside from the many laughs to be had in the acting, dialogue,
and TV-grade special effects. If you’re looking for a film that will use your
funny bone to help you deal with boredom and stress, you can watch free movies
online on sites like The Viewlorium to tide you over.
