This is a very good adaptation of the original TV series. The writers did a good job on the character development as well as the plot itself. It has a different twist that is enjoyable to watch. Gary Oldman plays a great Dr. Smith (that has an ironic demise) along with the rest of the cast as the Robinson family. The robot got an upgrade but, happily, the original style found its way onto the screen as well. Keep an eye out for other cameo appearances as well; I think there are three of them. Other names include, William Hurt, Mimi Rogers, Heather Graham, & Matt LeBlanc. All-in-all, it’s a very good, entertaining family film. Grab the popcorn and enjoy!

In the 1990s and early 2000s, Hollywood seemed to churn out big screen adaptations of classic TV shows by the handful. Most of the were atrocious and best forgotten. Unfortunately and unfairly, Lost in Space has been lumped into that ignoble category. This move got poor reviews when it came out and is now pretty much forgotten, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why. It's a really fun movie with an engaging story and excellent (for its time) special effects. It updates the classic 1960s TV series without ridiculing it or descending into parody. A treat for fans is the cameo appearances by several of the original TV cast members. Unfortunately, Billy Mumy (Will Robinson) wasn't among them. From what I've read, he was asked to appear and agree to do it, but the director got cold feet and decided it would distract audiences from the story. Nothing could be further from the truth. What would have Mumy's cameo scene was very obviously intended for him and was greatly diminished by his absence so much so that when I saw it the first time, I found myself distracted wondering why the hell he wasn't in it. I assumed he was unavailable because of his involvement in Babylon 5, but that wasn't the case. This is the reason I award this move four stars instead of five.Vollständige Rezension lesen
The Lost in Space television series was a Sci-Fi classic, and this 1998 movie adaptation doesn't disappoint. It follows the Robinson family on their first departure from Earth during a time of planetary crisis. The following adventure features classic science fiction time anomalies and combat with alien super spiders. It is a fun way to use a couple hours, although the effects are dated by modern standards they were quite excellent for 1998. Oh and of course we get to hear Robot give his most important line, "DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!" Science fiction fans will love it; others may want to look for something else.
This film is definately one of my favorite modern "remake" movies. This version manages to give a great ohmage to the campy-classic Lost in Space TV series, while being truly original on it's own as a modern Sci-Fi film. Starring a great cast: William Hurt (of Dark City), Matt LeBlanc (of TV's Friends), Gary Oldman (of The 5th Element) also featuring Mimi Rogers and Heather Graham (both of Austin Power's fame). This modern remake also features 3 of the original Lost in Space cast members in cameo roles! The intense action and standout special effects is what really makes this one worth checking out. I was pleasantly caught off-guard by the originality of the story's direction; a different twist on the Space Exploration/ Sci-Fi/ Time Travel genre. Of course, the DVD is loaded w/ worthwhile extras. Music Videos, Trailers, Production Notes and Special Effect Featurettes are standard fare. The 2 different Commentary Tracks and Deleted Scenes, in particular, are all excellent and provide lots of insightful background info. The interactive menus and CD ROM extras are all well done and add well to the whole package and overall DVD experience. I'm pleased to have this one as part of my personal collection and revisit it often. Thank you for taking the time to read my review, I hope that it was helpful - please rate it accordingly. Be fair and take care out there...Vollständige Rezension lesen
When the movie was released I read several disparaging reviews, but I watched the movie then, as it was better than I’d been lead to believe. Characters were more strongly defined, for example.
