“King of the Lost World” is easily one of the worst offerings from The Asylum. Known for the ‘mockbusters’, this one clearly tried to rip-off Peter Jackson’s 2005 version “King Kong” and also capitalise all the popularity of the “Jurassic Park” movies too. This movie is so abysmal that it’s not even funny.

A group of survivors of a plane crash find themselves on a dangerous island. They encounter various deadly monsters including dragons and a giant ape. They also must deal with a savage tribe as well. The group must try to find a way to escape the island else they face certain death.

The characters are so incredibly boring. There is not a single line of dialog in this whole movie that I was interested in and nobody looks like they want to be there. Somehow, the monsters are even worse than the people. We have lots of giant creatures and the C.G.I. effects are among the worst I’ve seen. This movie came out in 2005 (just like the Jackson “King Kong”) yet the giant ape here looks less convincing than King Kong did back in the original 1933 film. It’s amazing that after all these years, the original King Kong creature doesn’t look all that bad.

“King of the Lost World” is just a complete disaster. I was so bored that I virtually switched off. The special effects here are only marginally better than the effects in “Birdemic” and “The Amazing Bulk”. However, those movies at least used bad effects for a comedic purpose. Whatever you do in life, please don’t be fooled into watching “King of the Lost World”. Just watch the 2005 “King Kong” (or any of the “King Kong” movies) instead of this dreadful mess. Whether or not it is the worst film from The Asylum doesn’t matter, it’s lame and should be avoided at all costs.
