Shipwrecked castaways stumble upon the mysterious island of Caprona in the Bermuda Triangle, confronting man-eating dinosaurs and a stranded German U-Boat crew while trying to escape.

Reviews

A ship out for a tour gets caught up into the Bermuda triangle and lands on an island with CG dinosaurs, others from the past and WWII Germans with a U-Boat. Not as good as the 60's "Mysterious Island." Characters were rather cardboard and laughable as is typical in an Asylum film.Film appears to be made for kids.No sex or nudity. Uses the word "Fricking" as a substitution for the F-bomb.

There's nothing like a great remake and this remake of an infinitely superior film is nothing like a great remake . Directed and starring C Thomas Howell that tells you all you have to know . Add to this it's produced by Asylum it tells you even more and it's going to be a challenge of meeting the ten line criteria for this site Supposedly based on Edgar Rice Burrough's adventure novel you get the impression no one who had worked on the film had read the novel . You don't think they might have seen the 1975 film version either . Instead you think the production team got invited in to the studio execs office and told "It features a shipwreck with people getting washed up on a strange island that has dinosaurs and a German U-boat crew . Now go and make a movie" . It's fairly obvious that no one was under any pressure to make a good film , or even stretch themselves in to making something ambitious enough to be mediocre . Despite all the faults of the prior film at least it was brilliantly entertaining and the lost land of Caprona did have an unearthly mystique to it . Here we have a film that is terminally boring and a location that never gives the impression that it wasn't filmed on some shoreline in California . Stick to the original which involves drama , imagination and excitement

Hey, it's Timothy Bottoms! And he's not playing George W. Bush! But if I were stuck on an island full of dinosaurs with George W. Bush, he would act exactly like this! Hey, it's C. Thomas Howell! A long damn way from "The Outsiders"! And he looks emaciated! Hey, C.! Have a sandwich! Hey, it's that gal from "One Tree Hill"! She can't act here, either! Hey, it's an Asylum movie! But this time, the story's not so bad! This time the effects are passable! This time the direction is competent! C. Thomas Howell was the director! He still needs a sandwich! Hey, it's better than Will Ferrell's "Land of the Lost"! Hey, slamming my fingers in a drawer is better than Will Ferrell's "Land of the Lost"! Five stars, because the Nazi U-Boat (don't ask) looks pretty cool!

What has happened to C. Thomas Howell that he appears in dreck like this, a remake or a low-budget 1975 British flick? He even directed this thing! A group of castaways on an island in the Bernmuda Triangle must contend with a constantly hungry and angry T-Rex and a bunch of lost Germans and their broken U-boat. The T-Rex is a typical SyFy Channel creation, which means it is very bad CGI. The acting, with the exception of Tim Bottoms as a crusty captain, is second-rate. As bad as the 1975 version is, and it is truly awful, this makes that one look downright Shakespearean. "Land" author ER Burroughs must be spinning in his grave whenever this plays. His last name is even misspelled on the poster/video cover!
