Movie Reviews of Two Lost Worlds

Movie Review: Obscure film - and with good reason
Summary: 3 Stars

Not much to offer here. This is tough going until the end, and the final "pay off" we waited for (re: dinosaurs & destruction) is pathetically weak at best. James Arness shows up for his paycheck and that's about it. His brother, Peter Graves, had to live with "Killers From Space" on his acting credits and James had this mess. We all have our crosses to bear, I suppose. Video & audio quality are okay. If you can get it for a few bucks then okay, otherwise forget it. There are much better b-film dino movies out there that are truly deserving of your attention. This ain't one of them.

Summary of Two Lost Worlds

Prehistoric, primitive, primeval monsters of 100,000,000 years ago...alive again today! Maddened mastodons fight for savage women! Spectacular wondrous earth-shaking adventures as man battles monster in the screen's most awesome spectacle! Beyond imagination...the weird sloth, giant congorillas, poisonous lizards, venom vultures! James Arness (The Thing) stars as the heroic Captain Kirk Hamilton, the man shipwrecked on

the island that time forgot.


Unable to decide whether to make a pirate movie, a Western, or a dinosaur flick, director Norman Dawn decided to make all three at once. It's 1830 and the clipper ship Hamilton Queen is leaving New England for the East Indies. James Arness in his pre-Gunsmoke days stars as Kirk Hamilton, the son of the ship's owner who is there to tell the captain what to do, like go through the pirate-infested waters to cut a day off their schedule. When the pirates attack, Kirk is seriously injured, so they drop him off on an island near Australia to heal. The movie slips into "Western" mode when he helps the townsfolk form an American-styled militia to protect them from the pirates (and gets involved in a love triangle). Then the pirates return to steal some women, so Kirk and company chase after them and get shipwrecked on an island full of dinosaurs. Some might say this plot was just an excuse to use whatever stock footage was sitting around. Who cares? This movie gives a great look back at what low-budget filmmaking was like in 1950. Plus, the narration that glues the disparate scenes together is as overstated, flowery and entertaining as any narration from an Ed Wood film. Though only 61 minutes long, Two Lost Worlds is honest camp and pure pleasure. --Andy Spletzer
