    I never said Lost World was better than Jurassic Park. :) I did think the book was closer to the quality of the original (but never reaching it) while the movie version was mediocre.

    I am surprised they haven’t released a Timeline movie yet, it seems like a good fit for a mass market movie (plus you’ll have all the Crichton fans).

        How did I miss this? Although it sounds like they completely butchered the concept.

        I will have to check it out, thanks for sharing!

          Timeline!?

          Yeah, if you love the book you’ll probably be disappointed.

          Just pretend you haven’t read it. It’s actually a pretty fun flick, it just doesn’t live up to the book; in any proportion.

        That’s no excuse. How many Marvel films (starting with ‘Howard The Duck’) did it take for MCU to begin to be successful.

        They just need to reboot it a billion times. I forget the latin addige, but it is basically ‘Some Will Hit, Some Will Miss’

        ‘Nec Omiss nec nulla’ or some shit. Not gonna ‘duck duck go’ it… got meat cookin’.
