I hadn't seen this movie for a while and thought it might be worth another look. Wrong! It's hard to believe that this was made two years after "Jurassic Park" since the CGI effects that were so stupendous in that film just look phony in this one. In fact the whole purpose of the movie seems to be to unleash a run of CGI animals none of which even look like real animals and to marvel at the mayhem they cause.
Robin Williams as the child who returns after 26 years and who must finish the game to undo the damage is not as objectionable as he has become in later years -- just about tolerable. And Kirsten Dunst was rather sweet in an early role.

I know what you mean about the effects.......a little under budget, but I thought the storyline was good. Maybe a revised version with a little more spending money might make it better to watch.
OK so maybe it's a little naff, but you've got to have the imagination to make it real. The fact that it's Robin Williams helps to pull the whole thing off. It's just for fun this film - and when they're house turns into a jungle finally you can't help but want to be there running from the lions.....
