Lost in Space

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

This feels a little dated, given the more recent "Lost in Space" series, and given the original series it certainly feels like a very different angle.

The cast is great, but doesn't quite feel like it gels well, especially sense it is supposed to be (mostly) a family unit. Mat LeBlanc actually surprises me by showing he has some action range, a young Lacey Chabert comes off much more obnoxious than I would have expected, and solid, if expected, performances from William Hurt, Heather Graham, and Gary Oldman.

There is just very little that goes beyond expectations. Don't get me wrong there are some very interesting sequences and effects, but just nothing impressive I'm going to r...

Thirty years after the TV show, Lost in Space debuts at the cinema

In 2058, Professor John Robinson (William Hurt) and his family (Mimi Rogers, Heather Graham, Lacey Chabert, etc.) take a mission to travel to the nearest inhabitable planet to set-up a hypergate so humans can easily transport there. At the last minute, a hotshot flyboy is assigned to pilot the Jupiter II (Matt LeBlanc). Unfortunately, theyre forced to enact hyperdrive due to the interference of Dr. Smith (Gary Oldman), which flings them to an uncharted part of the galaxy.

Lost in Space (1998) is the serious movie version of the cheesy television series modeled after The Swiss Family Robinson that ran for three seasons from 1965-1968. The late 90s sci-fi sets & co...

Inoffensively bad sci-fi adventure feature film adaptation of the classic 1960s TV series is one of those movies one can put on, watch for a bit, get up to get a snack or drink without pausing and you still won't miss anything. Has a solid enough cast, mainly William Hurt, Mimi Rogers and Gary Oldman while Heather Graham was okay, but the rest forgettable (though I did have a big crush on Lacey Chabert back then). The visual effects were at best mixed with the "Blarp" creature being the biggest offender to the point they should've cut that part out if they didn't want to spend the money on an animatronic. Just like when I first saw this probably back in 1999/2000, I'll forget Lost in Space by the next day. 2.5/5
