Even though it’s a 1966 film and was originally created as an anti-scientific fairy tale, it’s still impossibly stupid. Its shortcomings can be listed endlessly: savages with an ideal model appearance and without a single hair on the body, an implausible habitat, the coexistence of people and dinosaurs, unreal and overly aggressive behavior of people, characters who almost do not need food, the lack of plot ... It is absolutely impossible to understand how people live on a scorched plain, where there are no plants and mostly giant monsters. Savages fight to the death for a piece of meat, or even just like that – how would they even survive? The exiled characters do not go to any source of water and food, but travel on red-hot dead rocks. The whole composition of the film is based on the fact that people fight and suffer deprivation, then they are attacked by a dinosaur, then they fight again, and everything repeats, 4 times per film. And if the authors wanted to freeze this nonsense from “Flintstones” that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time, then why was it so sloppy with the enlarged iguana and turtle at the beginning, if then there are still as many as 4 dinosaurs with frame-by-frame animation?
The turn at the end looks completely ridiculous - a progressive blonde tribe goes to help the EXCEPT Thumak in his war with their own. What's their reason? The exile has no rights whatsoever, let alone to lay down lives in battle for him. The ending with a sudden volcano is as tasteless as the final nuclear explosion in modern films – the authors write that they wove such nonsense, leading to nothing, that it simply cannot be logically completed, and it remains only to bury it under the rubble.
In general, the film leaves the impression of poor scenery for a vintage model photo shoot.
