Advantages: Fantastic special-effects... Disadvantages: Will Ferrell
...fall from the sky and land in a massive desert-like wasteland that is overrun by dinosaurs waiting for a free meal! It’s totally absurd, but it works incredibly well.
Most of you will be asking why I gave this movie a 2-star when I obviously seem to have enjoyed the special-effects, scenery and the storyline. The truth is, this is a movie I could have loved… had it not been for the most pathetic display of acting I have ever seen.

Will Ferrel gives a funny performance and the jokes in the films can be very funny.
