I have the 1959 version with James Mason, and the 1999 version with Treat Williams, and both are much more entertaining that this one. I suppose the James Mason version holds a special place in my heart because it was the one that really wowed me as a young boy of 11. At that age, you don't look for scientific accuracies, and not even great acting ability. The surreal scenes and cryptic props were fantastic. And I enjoyed them just as much the last time I saw the movie a couple weeks ago. The Treat Williams version had some great new twists, like the indigenous tribe. It was also very entertaining.
But this version was just plain dull! The indigenous tribe in this movie could very well have been a lost tribe from the Rain Forest. Other than the short scene with prehistoric animals, there was no fantasy effects. As one reviewer said, it is forgettable.
