Dinosaur Movies: Unknown Island (1948)


Not a bad movie. Story is very good, classical island lost in time type. Group of adventurers travel to the lost uncharted island to take a photos of live prehistoric animals, and there mutiny and megalomania take place and everything goes to ruin. Effects are good and drawn backgrounds are beautifull, but I cannot swallow those dinosaurs though, they are dull and sloppy, very slow, that's not how dinosaurs should act like. No matter it's an old movie, effects are not problem but visualization of dinosaur behavior. Last battle is good though, kinda ripped of King Kong, but nice.
All in all solid movie to watch, not in top of my list of good dinosaur movies

Rating: 6/10
