Lost In Space (DVD, 1998)

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...

Good family sci-fi adventure film. Good for adults and also for the littler ones who enjoy robots, alien monkeys and spiders not to mention one great villian! The evil doctor/alien spider at the end was great. A fun remake of the old series from times past. The extras are lots of fun with interviews from the original cast from Losts in Space. featuette of the special effects and the future of space travel. A musical video and lots more!

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!

IF YOU FOUND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU !!

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.

Lost In Space is fun, exciting and has some action. It could have been written with a better story line but it still is enjoyable to watch. I thought that doctor Smith was more violent in the movie compared to the TV series. I would have liked Dr. Smith complaining about his poor back oh my poor back. Came as a shock when he threw a fist at Major West. I also liked the TV series when the music played when there was danger. I hope that they come out with a better Movie with the same cast. They picked good actors.
