Editorial Review:
Packed with more than 750 dazzling visual effects, this $70 million adventure does more (and less) than give the 1965-68 TV series a state-of-the-art face-lift. Aimed at an audience that wasn't born when the series originally aired, the sci-fi extravaganza doesn't even require familiarity, despite cameo appearances by several of the TV show's original cast members. Instead it's a high-tech hybrid of the original premise with enough sensory overload to qualify as a spectacular big-screen video game, supported by a time-travel premise that's adequately clever but hardly original. It's certainly never boring, and visually it's an occasionally awesome demonstration of special effects technology. But in its attempt to be all things to all demographics, the movie's more of a marketing ploy than a satisfying adventure, thankfully dispensing with the TV show's cheesy camp but otherwise squandering a promising cast in favor of eye-candy and ephemeral storytelling. In keeping with the movie's high-tech appeal, the DVD is a feature-packed marvel, including two audio commentaries, deleted scenes, two featurettes covering special effects and the original TV series (featuring complete biographies and episode guides), the original screenplay, and interactive games. --Jeff Shannon

Lost in Space [Region 2] Reviews:
Calling Dr. Smith...
2009-12-14 - I loved the TV series LOST IN SPACE when I was a kid. Then, I got a chance to watch it as an adult and... well, let me just say that many fond memories were destroyed! While I still enjoy the entire first season (in glorious b+w), I find the psychedelically colored "camp" episodes of seasons two and (especially) three, to be nearly unwatchable. The movie version is a modern retelling of the story (mostly from season one) of the Robinson family, complete w/ spiffy new outfits and an upgraded B9 robot. William Hurt and Mimi Rogers make a decent enough John and Maureen Robinson. Heather Graham is a stolid, yet beautiful Judy, and Matt LeBlanc is a cynical, sarcastic Don West. Will Robinson (Jack Johnson) is the genius / whiz-kid of the family, able to retro-fit just about any gadget. Penny (Lacey Chabert) is basically a throw-away role w/ little to do. Gary Oldman (Hannibal, The Fifth Element) gets the juicy part of the eeevil Dr. Zachary Smith. He's far more cunning and less of a sniveling whimp than his TV counterpart. He's also far more interesting than anyone else in the movie! LOST IN SPACE isn't terrible, it's just not a classic. Even so, it is certainly better than the the final two seasons of the show...

Not shakespear but fun
2009-06-26 - If you go into this movie expecting sublime plots or whatever, then you're doomed to dissapointment, if you go in, just expecting a fun movie, then it can be a lot of fun. It is in no way, other than a few homages, tied to the original TV series, so don't go expecting it to be a continuation. It's not. It's a stand-alone story, and, as such, stands alone. It's typical summer scifi action movie fare, and for the day, the CGI was really good. Now it's dated, and suffers in comparison, but CGI always does that. Overall, a fun movie. Interestingly enough, this version had a lot about french subtitles and features, so I am guessing this is the french export version, no problems, just thought I would put that out there.
