Journey to the Beginning of Time A.K.A. Cesta do pravěku (1955)

A Czechoslovokian children's science fiction directed by Karel Zeman.
A group of 4 boys go back in time to see prehistoric animals.
This was so hokey that it must have seemed stale even upon it's release. The simplistic plot, static characters, piss poor acting and poorly written dialogue did it in. How did these kids have camping supplies with them when they went to a museum in a city? The sets were a joke. Every one had painted backgrounds. Fuck, even one of the dinosaurs was painted on! (see image) There was a little bit of cool stop motion and puppetry. Otherwise, the video was horrid. I'm talking about color balance changing between shots within a scene, grainy and uncreative compositions. The audio was off-time with the actors, worse than the worst kung fu dubbing job ever. It seemed like a cool idea and premise, but didn't work out all that great. This has a 7.5/10 on IMDB! There must be an error somewhere. I give this a weird pink rating because it's so bad that it's good. I'm keeping it to laugh at later.
