The movie begins somewhere with characters, and
picks up pace from there. Soon, we find our characters venturing in a helicopter
to this "land unknown". It was only a matter of time before the
helicopter was hit by a pterodactyl. Now, the helicopter crashes and they soon
become the prey of
the fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex. Terrified, I cringed at the sight of this
magnificent beast. At last, a t-rex which walked like a human being. Now there's
something to be afraid of.
There were several other terrors
which were met by our characters. Among these, were your standard
issue carnivorous plant, komodo dragons (used to represent other dinosaurs), and
a sea monster. The most fearsome of these terrors was a bizarre, sexually
deprived man known as Hunter. Due to a similar mishap, Hunter became trapped in
the south pole and fended for himself using intelligence as his greatest weapon.
Intelligently, he clobbered
and
threw fire at all those who opposed him. He also developed the habit of
kidnapping the journalist Margaret, and bringing her back to his lair. When
Margaret refused his advances, he subdued her with a quick punch to the head.
Soon after, the other members of the expedition discovered Hunter and introduced
themselves.
As the familiarization continues,
Hunter reveals that he has something of a shitload of helicopter
parts hidden somewhere. During one of his routines of kidnapping Margaret,
Hunter is confronted by the group inside his cave and a fight ensues. As a
result, Hunter sustains a head injury and gives the group a map showing the
location of the needed replacement part for the helicopter. Margaret, who no
longer sees Hunter as a threat, offers to stay with him while the the others
search for the replacement rod.
The men eventually locate the rod
and quickly get the helicopter in working order. As they leave, Hunter reveals
that he won't be joining them on the way back to civilization. His convictions
withstand all but an unforeseen attack by a plesiosaur. Hunter tries desperately
to fend off the beast utilizing even his infallible fire. Sadly, his torch
proves to be an ineffective weapon, especially since this battle was held in the
middle of a river. In a riveting exchange of fates, the sea creature bears its
sharp teeth and knocks Hunter unconscious with its fin.
The beast is finally defeated by
ingesting a flare, and an injured Hunter is brought aboard the helicopter. The
trip is made safely
and as the rescue ship becomes visible, a change is seen in Hunter that would
melt the heart of the most caliced of cynics.
Finally, they are home. They are safe. The
helicopter descends on the ship and crashes in the ocean. Fortunately, they are
easy to rescue and Margaret informs fellow expedition member, Commander Roberts
of her plans to have his baby.
