I never said Lost World was better than Jurassic Park. :) I did think the book was closer to the quality of the original (but never reaching it) while the movie version was mediocre.

I am surprised they haven't released a Timeline movie yet, it seems like a good fit for a mass market movie (plus you'll have all the Crichton fans).

They did.

Over 20 years ago. Didn't do great, probably why they haven't taken another crack at it...

How did I miss this? Although it sounds like they completely butchered the concept.

I will have to check it out, thanks for sharing!

Timeline!?

Yeah, if you love the book you'll probably be disappointed.

Just pretend you haven't read it. It's actually a pretty fun flick, it just doesn't live up to the book; in any proportion.
