Download The Lost World yts torrent movies with The Lost World yts subtitles info synopsis Professor Challenger leads team of scientists and adventurers to a remote plateau deep within the Amazonian jungle to investigate reports that dinosaurs still live there.
I think Wallace Beery made a good Prof. Challenger - certainly far better than the diminutive Claude Raines years later. The accompanying score was totally unrelated to the film except for the opening title, where the ominous music fit like a glove. Otherwise, it was like listening to music on the radio while watching a movie.Much of Conan Doyle's excellent story is missing; read it if you want a good late night read.The apeman character was superfluous in the film.OBSERVATION: If all of the creatures on the plateau really had attacked and killed each other as frequently as depicted in the film, the creatures wouldn't have survived a week, much less tens of thousands of generations.In the end, it's all about the excellent, groundbreaking stop-motion photography.
Although the introduction of the first claymation figure, the pterydactyl, is comical in its crudity and scale, the the rest of the figures are amazingly graceful. The sets are highly detailed and proportional to the figures, as in the water rapids.
The creatures are varied, numerous with life-like responses and charm. The storyline is linear, directed effectively, but without any artistry.The actors are not given enough time to develop their motives and the last ten minutes of the film is rushed. The bigotry, European actor in blackface with phonetic intertitles, the actor in a large monkey suit which is for some inexplicable reason vindictive, and the poor quality of the film are the only caveats to watching an otherwise exciting adventure.This film makes me question whether Edgar Rice Burrough's thoroughly plagiarized Doyle's story because there are too many similarities.
I have to give this film 5 stars for the effects alone. Absolutely amazing stop motion/claymation photography! Anyone who is the forefather to the great Ray Harryhausen has to be a genius.
If you have never heard of Ray,check out the sinbad movies of the 60's and 70's,Jason and the Argonauts,and several other sci-fi classics. You will be in for a treat. I miss those type of effects in the movies,I think they were actually more amazing than todays computer generated variety. Just something about the way Rays creatures moved.like you picture it moving in your mind. Todays almost seem to real and that takes away that 'monster' effect.
Just my opinion. OK.so this is the silent version of the Conan Doyle novel (same guy that created Sherlock Holmes). Pretty faithful to the novel.Wallace Beery (forever famous as Long John Silver in 1934's classic adaptation of TREASURE ISLAND-a film in which he ALSO co-stars with Lewis Stone who was Nayland Smith to Karloff's Fu Manchu and Dad to Mickey Rooney's Andy Hardy.and just to give us another connection to Sherlock Holmes you'll see Nigel Bruce-Rathbone's Watson-as Squire Trelawney in that film as well) and where WAS I?
Oh yeah.Wallace Beery.pretty good here as Professor Challenger. Not sure what Bessie Love is doing in this (there is no girl in the book. But, then, there's no girl in H. Rider Haggard's KING SOLOMON'S MINES either but we have managed to put up with Anna Lee and Deborah Kerr and Sharon Stone in the various film adaptations of THAT-it's just one of those Hollywood things-throw in a girl to spice it up.Oh, as to Spielberg 'stealing the title' for his sequel to Jurassic Park.he didn't. Michael Crichton (who wrote both the books) used it intentionally as a tribute to Conan Doyle's classic and even included a character named 'Roxton' in the book.
Set in a place untouched by man the Lost World is filled with plants and animals thought to be long extinct by modern man. The idea that man could live in a world with creatures from other periods lying deep within the earth is a curiosity of scientist even today. The story of the Lost World addresses such curiosities, not only of scientist, but of plain adventurers. Written by Conan Doyle, this 1992 version set in Africa was directed by Paul Beeson.The early setting of the movie is a lovely home in England here the rather eccentric Professor Challenger, played by the distinguished John Rhys Davies lives. Challenger introduces a young reporter, Edward Malone played by Eric McCormack to his findings of the Lost World. This information was passed to Challenger by a dying explorer.
The Scientist made a determined effort to find this unexplored world, and he did. Taking a band of people willing to take a chance to discover the impossible, they start to make plans. In a recap Challenger was forced to return from an earlier trek but was determined to return and to go deeper into finding the Lost World.A meeting of the Royal Zoological Institute started the wheels of this expedition moving. Challenger’s rival Professor Summerlee played by David Warner thought the Lost World a hoax and never held back saying so. Determined to prove Challenger an idiot, Summerly agrees to lead an expedition.
Off into the wilds of deepest Africa, into the unknown they traveled. A woman and a boy are refused entry into the expedition; the woman and the boy find their own method of gaining entry into this group. One used money, the other cunning, both methods worked. Miss Jenny Neilson, played by Tamara Gorski bought her way and the boy, played by young Gorski, smuggled his way. The expedition is met with treachery, envy.
The same difficulties meet in any other world.Ironically the word suffrage was mentioned and apparently money ruled out male chauvinism. Neilson was a qualified woman meeting other qualified women along the route. The disbelief in a woman’s abilities remained throughout the expedition until things became difficult.
The story shows how others doubt but the belief in oneself must over rule any misgivings. It demonstrates the drive it takes to pursue any goal, no matter the age or gender. The explorers found the Lost World and ended thinking it might have been better left alone.
