***Originally titled “Attack of the Blurry Ape”*** The Asylum’s “King of the Lost World” (2005) is a TV knockoff of Peter Jackson’s “King Kong,” released one day before that blockbuster during Christmas. While there’s a giant ape and an island of colossal creatures, the similarities end there. This has more to do with Arthur Conan Doyle's fantasy/adventure novel “The Lost World” (1912) than “King Kong.” The plot revolves around a group of survivors of a plane wreck who search the mysterious island; and clash with the giant creatures & primitive-type people that dwell there. The movie only cost $1 million and the blurry CGI creatures look it. If you can get past that, there’s quite a bit to like here for fans of comic book adventure flicks, especially of the lost on a deserted island variety. Imagine “Mysterious Island” (1961) if it was done on a miniscule budget, like "Planet of the Dinosaurs" (1977), and that’s what this is. The Asylum’s “The Land that Time Forgot” (2009) is comparable, but that one had over double the money to spend, as did the 1974 film with Doug McClure. Another point of reference is those cheesy primeval flicks from Hammer back in the day, like “The Lost Continent” (1968) and “When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth” (1970). If you don’t appreciate Grade B (or Grade C) adventure fare like this I’d suggest passing but, if you can roll with it, the story and cast are decent, highlighted by curvy Sarah Lieving in form-fitting shorts, not to mention a couple others. The Southern Cal locations feature magnificent coastlines, lush jungles, cool caves and barren landscapes. The film runs 1 hour, 20 minutes and was shot at Pikake Gardens, Valley Center, and San Diego County, California. GRADE: C

Supposedly based on Sir Arthur's "Lost World", this film must have him spinning in his grave. The only resemblance are the character's names and the Amazon jungle setting. This lost world is best described as an episode of TV's 'Lost" as written by your local college frat house. The King, or giant ape of the title, is constantly referred to as he, or him, never by name. At one point Bruce Boxleitner asks who "he" is and one of the natives, who look like frat house refugees, replies "you can not speak his name." Obviously as doing so would have involved a lawsuit for copyright infringement. I should mention that for the entire duration of the film, all 75 minutes, the "King's" screen times amounts to approx. 2 minutes. The remaining 73 minutes are filled with endless babble from bad actors on how they are going to get out of the jungle. Additionally the SFX are on the same level as the acting. This movie needs to be permanently lost!

Even LESS then I expected... and I didn't expect much

I saw the cover. Obviously a cheep movie that is trying to make some money from the popularity of Peter Jackson's King Kong. Anyway - a huge gorilla in the lost world - cool! I knew it was going to be cheep, but I liked the idea. And the rating was still 5,8 so I thought it will be worth watching. I was wrong. Since it is the Lost World I expected some dinosaurs. Nope. Compared to this movie the TV series "The Lost World" look like a Hollywood blockbuster. No dinosaurs. Just a sloppy CGI giant spider, a couple of sloppy CGI giant scorpions, and a sloppy CGI giant gorilla, which you finally see for a couple of seconds at the end of the movie. I love B-movies, but not B-movies that pretend to be A-movies, if you know what I mean. If this movie was done intentionally stupid just for the fun if would be nice. Now it is just boring. And I guess a couple of days ago it had 5,8 rating because all the guys from the ending credits voted here.
