Lost in Space - New Line Platinum Series

Summary: Not inspiring, but a good time
Review: I had fun watching this movie, but only after I suspended various stages of disbelief. This movie contains bad acting, bad dialogue, plot inconsistencies, and a few very pointless displays of high-tech special effects. However, it's a lot of fun: there are some very good lines and some priceless moments. Overall it's not a bad movie, just a silly, but nevertheless enjoyable one.

Summary: Long Awaited Lost In Space
Review: As a die hard Lost In Space fan of the 60's, I had been waiting decades for some sort of revival. The movie: Like most people have mentioned before myself, the effects were good. The acting was okay, I felt they did the best they could with what they had to work with. The problem I feel lies with the Director and the Screen writers. The Director wasn't committed to the movie project and the Screen Writers were obviously out on a lunch break! It's too bad they didn't use Bill Mumy's (the original Will Robinson) story line from his 1990's comic book version of Lost In Space, now that's a hit!! The movie is "dark" like the first Batman movie, correct me if I'm wrong but it's it written by the same person??!! I look forward to a sequel were corrections can be made.

Summary: Coolest movie ever.
Review: Everyone in my family loves this movie. My dad loves the production values, my mom loves the story, my older sister thinks Matt Le Blanc is really hot and my older brother wants to go out with Heather Graham and I could watch the holograph scene with Will and the Robot over and over again and my little sister has finally found herself a heartthrob in Jack Johnson, but she also likes Blawrp. Also, all the stuff you can do with the DVD is totally cool especially when you interact with the computer. I've watched it probably twenty times.

Summary: A rare combination of special effects and family drama.
Review: Lost in Space kept me on the edge of my seat. The effects were fabulous, but the real strength of this movie was the touching story between the father played by William Hurt and son (Danger, Will Robinson!) played exceptionally well by Jack Johnson. I also liked the relationship between Major West, the forceful Matt LeBlanc and Judy Robinson (Heather Graham). All in all it was a great movie for the whole family and I hope there's a sequel.

Summary: Very poorly done
Review: I was disappointed in this film. After plucking down $20 to buy the dvd. The story was poorly written. The special effects were ok, but often seemed phony. There was so much more that could have been done with this film, and this disappointment is what they came up with. Also, I could not get the games that come with the DVD to play or load on my PC. Don't waste your time or money on this one.

Summary: Flawed but fabulous!
Review: Despite some silly dialogue and questionable acting by some of the cast, (William Hurt is weird and I must admit, I didn't particularly care for the robot), "Lost in Space" is one of the most spectacular, beautifuly crafted pieces of sci-fi art I have seen in a long time. From the opening shot of the Hypergate looming past the camera in all it's glorious detail to the final scenes, the film delivers the thrills if not the logic. But you know what? I don't care. Science Fiction is by far the best film genre ever. 1998's "Lost in Space" is a welcome edition to the family. I loved it! (WATCH THIS MOVIE IN IT'S ORIGINAL 2:35 ASPECT RATIO IF YOU HAVE A BIG TELEVISION. DON'T INSULT YOUR EYES WITH PAN AND SCAN!)

Summary: 1st half of the movie was great. . . 2nd half stunk.
Review: The movie was great until friends boy blew up the prometheus. From that point on the plot becomes unbeleivable. It is an example of the script writers not doing enough review of the science they use in the movie. (can we say Paradox?) The first half of the movie is an easy 5. second half is a 2, except for the FX.

Summary: Great effects, less than great everything else.
Review: If you like great effects , this film kicks.If you want actors who are awake to create characters you really care about, go see something else. This film has its own hypnotism about it. As much as I have thoroughly enjoyed the graphic wonders created throughout the film, I have fallen asleep both times I've tried to watch it . Once in the theater, once at home on video. It should've been bigger & played better.But given all its faults I like it.

Summary: Good Movie
Review: Very good special video effects. Could have been a little better on the sound side. Over all I would watch it again.

Summary: Gotta love the Robot
Review: I'm an SF junke, and even though I was not born when the origional TV series was aired, I've seen a few of the reruns. This movie reminded me of the pilot episode (the best one IMO)and many of the clasic visual themes are here, the Jupiter 1 looking like the origional ship, the Robot and even the robot bay with the central lift to the bridge paid hommage to the origional. Pity about the storyline though, but again, better than the TV series. I love the Apollo 440 video though, just cant get the theme outta my head.
