The Land That Time Forgot (aka Dinosaur Island) (2009)

C Thomas Howell (The Outsiders, Red Dawn, The Day The Earth Stopped, Mutant Vampire Zombies from the 'Hood!) heads out on a three hour cruise and finds himself shipwrecked in the Bermuda Triangle on an island with dinosaurs (left over from 100 Million BC) and the survivors of a WW2 U-Boat.

The Asylum did an okay job adapting Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Princess Of Mars and I wish they had done a little better here. The film doesn’t so much insult your intelligence as ignore it.

This was previously made in 1975 and starred the effervescent Doug McClure. Strangely, the effects were better then.
