A rollicking adventure that mixes Nazis, submarines and dinosaurs cannot be described as anything other than eager to entertain. [27 Jun 2007, p.3]

Just as the much grander Jaws became less scary the moment its mechanical shark appeared, the early virtues of Land collapse once the island is reached and the traffic jam in artificial monsters develops.

The special effects are unrealistic, as are the dialog and performances. However, despite everything, the picture still makes for great fun.

It starts off promisingly with some stylised and ridiculous heroics involving a German sub, but once the island has been occupied and a few excellent monsters vanquished, the plot settles down to some very ordinary machinations.

I was surprised that the first hour is a WW1 submarine drama, Once they get to the title island, the entertainment factor rose. The impressive matte paintings, the campy dinos, equaled fun times. But what sinks the movie is the unecessary, annoying caveman sub plot, They should've just focused on the sub crew battling dinos and escaping from volcano disaster.
