SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Parker Lewis Land of the Giants deserved a longer run and one episode I recall was when Stefan Arngrim's character was saved from being spider food by an l guy who became the sacrificial lamb. This series, along with The Time Tunnel, were excellent 60s series and perhaps really deserves a reboot.I wonder how the family managed to eat and find miniature toilets and so on. Makes you wonder.

bkoganbing Passing through a mysterious cloud a small subspace vehicle with the speed of the Concorde the passengers and crew of the futuristic ship land on an earth like planet. Only the people are giants compared to them about 12 times bigger. Funny thing is that they all speak perfect English.But so did the giants of Brobdingnag in Jonathan Swift's classic Gulliver's Travels. Seven people and a dog now have to survive in a very horrible place where you have to fear the house cat. Seven people on Gilligan's Island as well, 7 people on Lost In Space as well. Seems to be the right number for a television series.Lost In Space also had as its main feature the relationship between the boy, the rogue, and a robot. Here it was boy Stefan Arngrim, rogue Kurt Kaszner and a dog instead of a robot. The rest of the cast was Gary Conway, Don Marshall, Don Matheson, Deanna Lund, and Heather Young. Like in Lost In Space they took a backseat to the aforementioned.Surprised how few credit Irwin Allen from using Jonathan Swift as an inspiration. Land Of The Giants was not a classic, still it has a following to this day and rightly so.

Robert Gold What is never explained to us is why the giants are taking care of the girl Marna. What did they want her for? What would they have done with all the others? How did her parents die? Did they kill them, and were they experimented upon too? It was an interesting episode featuring other shipwrecked passengers, but this plot line was not explored enough. It shows that perhaps not all giants wanted to harm the little people, but why not? This sort of built up a nice possibility to connect the giants with the stranded castaways, but then the link was broken quickly. Land of the Giants share much with its sister show Lost in Space, but this gaping plot hole might have been addressed there better in that series.

richard.fuller1 Clearly someone knew what they were doing with this thing, but when it messes up, it really messes up.But I think the pros greatly outweigh the cons. Problems consist of the attempt to get Lost In Space's success with Jonathan Harris and Billy Mumy with Kurt Kaznar and Stefan Arngrim. That was a miss. Arngrim looks unhappy the entire time he was on this show. And Kaznar was too hammy.It seems at one time the realization was that Deanna Lund was more appealing visually, so there would be attempts to make a trio of troublemakers, but that seemed to be the wrong direction as well. I think Valerie could have done it but with one of the other characters, acting wise. She just wasn't clicking with Kaznar or Arngrim.The second glitch seems to be was it earth or not Earth, if not Earth then why did so much of it look like Earth. This led to much confusion as well. Problem 3 was unavoidable. Our flight attendant Betty became pregnant in real life. By the time she returned to the show and was able to go with the plots rather than being hindered by her pregnancy, it seems it was too late and the show was tanking. Betty actually worked better with Kaznar than Valerie did.The truly amazing thing about seeing this show for the first time just a few years ago is that none of the main cast went on to do anything, so they were all brand new for me. Oh, there are recognizable guest stars like Jack Albertson, Jesse White, John Carradine, Susan Howard, Bruce Dern and Yvonne Craig, but none of the regulars ever did anything else. Stefan Arngrim's sister, Allison, went on to portray Nellie Oleson on Little House and she had much more life than her older brother did here.The saving grace for this show is plots. Some of these plots here are worthy of the original Star Trek. Off the top of my head, standouts are the clone episode with much greater comprehension of how to do twin portayals and the final episode with Dern and Craig is phenomenal to watch. These shows are hardly an insult to the intelligence. It seems Land of the Giants aired in the UK and outside of America more than it did within the states after it had been cancelled, as I never saw this show before or even heard of it. It is deep, that's for sure. Pity there couldn't have been a conclusion episode where the passengers and crew returned to 1983 (!) but the final episode is an intriguing finale in and of itself.
