Frankenstein Unbound (1990)
Unbound metaphors
This is fun B-Movie that follows the infinite that science can unleash. It has all the matinée and B-movie markings but don't let that eclipse the philosophy of a wise tale: Science Unbound will not be controlled by its maker, the scientist like a parent or artist can not keep a leash on its creation. For a great review of the film check out: "Sight & Sound" International Film Quarterly. Winter. 1990/91. Volume 60 No 1. Richard Combs article breaks down the review into four parts: 1.The Atom, New & Improved 2.There are parts of me in all my films. But which parts? 3. There are no eyes in the Unconscious 4. Who is God maybe?
But a lot of people don't seem to care for this film, so be your own judge. I would rather not judge and just enjoy a story about Frankenstein that is way more entertaining than a lot of highly ranked movies on this database.
The Lost World (1998)
The other reviews are for a different movie.
Most reviews you read about this movie are actually about a different version of 'Lost World'. Usually the reviewers are talking about the pilot for the series 'Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World' that has the blonde with a perm in it. I understand the confusion, there were about 5 different versions of this made in the late '90's including Spielbergs 'Jurassic Park Lost world'. Even the TV Guide was confused, it listed 'The Lost World: with Patrick Bergin' but they actually broadcasted the one with the blonde with a perm that was the pilot for the TV series for TNT. Patrick Bergin's 'Lost World' was a very good version, personally I liked it the best out of all the 'Lost Worlds'.
