Movie Review
When in the jungle, it would be wise of happily married (and even so sexually agile) couples to really keep the noises of their lovemaking downwardly. It might attract all kinds of beasts in one case thought extinct…like the brontosaurus family unit at the eye of Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend. This is what happens to paleontologist Dr. Susan Matthews-Loomis (Sean Young) and her husband George Loomis (William Katt) when they get monster hunting in Central Africa.
And they become their tent toppled by a curious and once thought extinct little beastie. Welcome to the weird and wacky world of Baby: Hole-and-corner of the Lost Legend, a pic that is best remembered thanks to Jerry Goldsmith'south rip-roaring score that merges flatulent orchestrations with electronic soundscapes. Goldsmith, according to interviews, is still addicted of the experience of recording the score and continues to insist that it be included in his career retrospective collections.
The composer is not wrong. Thankfully, director Bill L. Norton (Three for the Road) has that going for him because – outside of a few recurring jokes and a villainous plough by Patrick McGoohan (The Prisoner) as Dr. Eric Kiviat and Julian Fellowes as Nigel Jenkins, Infant: Secret of the Lost Legend merely has nowhere to go – even for a B-film. Katt might exist solid in his performance equally the hero in charge of keeping his wife safe from an army of nationalists led past Colonel Nsogbu (Olu Jacobs) as she goes all in for saving the brontosaurus baby they've rescued from existence captured but that doesn't really make up for a directionless script penned by Clifford and Ellen Green.
I remember, equally a youngster, beingness fairly impressed past the special effects in the movie. Audiences – almost vi full years earlier Jurassic Park went full blown CGI – got to see three Brontosauruses out in the wild. Its novel animatronics, of course, but that doesn't negate that the illusion of very practical effects worked to elicit some emotion from us as Baby watches the death of its begetter and the stunning of its mother. Y'all would mew, too. And probably charge the army responsible for the expiry.
This live-activeness film from Disney – released nether their Touchstone moniker – was much darker than their previous work. In that location is death past electrocution, animal killings, swearing, and even Sean Young loses her top for some ill-timed lovemaking. With far less humor and a weak stab to make this a bit more Indiana Jones-like than it really wasn't, the flick – fifty-fifty among the people who liked it – just failed to produce anything but casual fans. Kino Lorber Studio Classics, recognizing that there is – yet limited – Still a fanbase for this motion-picture show, has simply bug Infant: Secret of the Lost Legend on blu-ray, cheers to a blistering remastering job.
The Mokele-mbembe are existent, ya dig? Deal with it.

With a ii.35:1 aspect ratio and a 5.1 stereo surround rails, Infant: Secret of the Lost Legend looks brand new and crisp again. The leafy greens of the jungle are expressive then too are the muddy bodies of water. Blues are strong and then are blacks, with the shadows maintaining their depth. The action sequences – full of rescues and rampaging dinosaurs – are vivid and expressed with a new clarity thank you to HD upgrade. Sure, the dinos await faux as hell but that's to be expected.
