the land that time forgot (1975)

aka Edgar Rice Burroughs' The Land That Time Forgot.
"If God wills it we will live our lives out here."
Its World War I, and a German U-boat sinks a British ship and takes onboard the survivors, including Bowen Tyler (Doug McClure). The prisoners immediately set about disrupting the U-boats antics, causing it to end up in Antarctica and discovering the lost land of Caprona. Once there they soon realise that they aren't in Kansas anymore when attacked by dinosaurs and neanderthals.

An entertaining and underrated film. Look beyond the low rent script and the less than perfect special effects and you have a great Saturday morning adventure.
