Summary: Danger Will Robinson! There's a space monkey on the set!
Review: I rented this DVD and then taped it off DSS for my son to watch over and over, but I'll probably wind up buying it. This was a very fun movie since the Robinson family mapped to ours, age- and gender-wise. Penny's character was a delight, but Robot's voice boomed way too loud. The film probably has the most SFX shots ever, and some were quite innovative. However, that heinous little space monkey creature cost this movie a full star. It was interesting to hear the director agree and explain the reality behind it; a digital Band-Aid of sorts. The script pretty much fell apart at the end, but by then we didn't care since the effects carried the show. Best scene: Will shoots space spiders from inside a holographic controller.

Summary: Fabulous special effects,script,references to tv series....
Review: This movie was made for DVD and should be in the library of all who own a player. The special effects are awesome and are great to showoff your sound system! The subtle references to the 1960's tv series which appear throughout the movie were greatly appreciated by one who was a great admirer of the original Lost in Space. The story line beautifully portrays the relationships between brother and sister and father and son. The time travel sequences become somewhat complicated at times making the viewing of this movie two or three times to fully appreciate the writers brilliance a must. This movie gets better every time you see it. My children love the movie and have seen it at least ten times. Those I have spoken to who did not love this movie had only seen it one time and did not fully appreciate its subtleties.

Summary: Don't Waste your Money
Review: This movie is incrediably dumb! The characters are cardboard( the girl is the worst, NO personality, except as a sulky brat). The plot is okay, but if there's no one worth rooting for, then what's the use of having a plot? I gave this movie two stars because of good special effects and a cool soundtrack (I also sort of liked the beginning).

Summary: Could have been much better
Review: I heard about this movie more than 8 months before it's release. I was very excited when New Line Cinema was sponsoring my convention and they were promoting the movie so far in advance. I just couldn't wait, and i waited and waited and finally I was ready to fall asleep. I really do feel sorry for New Line Cinema, I love the company, they put out some awesome movies(I think The Island of Dr. Moreau is under rated) But when they venture into big budget films they always flop. Here is the latest. The Story was straight out terrible. When are the writers going to learn that time travel sci-fi movies rarely work(Star Trek Iv being the exception). I can't totally complain, because the movie did have some of the best special effects. Although they don't translate to TV very well. If they do attempt a sequel, lets hope they do better(Remember Star Trek: TMP, then came along The Wrath of Kahn) Keep trying New Line.

Summary: Once again, great effects... and.....
Review: It really breaks my heart to see millions of dollars spent on superb effects, costumes, and sets, only to be mercilessly dashed to bits by a pathetic story. Why not go into a local university creative writing class and offer 15 thousand to the student who can write the best script??? Guaranteed to have a far better story that the one I was forced to sit through (saw the movie on a plane). Did I mention, it had great effects?

Summary: Almost action all the time. Seen it 5 times during 1 week
Review: I loved it, because I saw the tv series. People would say the ending is lame, then instantly they jugde the film bad. Why : because it just suddenly end (not showing that they completed the mission they were sent for in the film). They should have released it a bit later, working on the parts of the movie they had to cut ,like the ending of the film (or was the film to long originally, so they had to cut it ?). Great to se, I will buy it in my next batch of movies

Summary: Okay
Review: It was okay. not much of a story line and no memerable lines accept for "If this is a dream where are the girls?" Not a big screen movie.

Summary: This is One Movie That Should Get "Lost"
Review: I had high hopes for this film, but when I walked away from it I was more than a little disappointed. The film starts off well enough, but after an hour or so, things get really hokey and the story never really seems to connect. The acting is terrible, the screenplay needs work, and the ending leaves you with an empty feeling. Even die hard fans of the show will be disappointed because the movie isn't too ture to the series. The only thing they have in common is the characters names are the same. Bottom Line, skip right over it at the video store.

Summary: BBB - boring beyond belief
Review: Sorry folks, having grown up during the era of Star Trek, Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, this remake movie bears some similarity to the series but unfortunately did not come anywhere near my expectations hopes or dreams. Put me to sleep halfway through. Not worth the powder to blow to hell. Hope there's no sequel.....that would be more of a tragedy than the money spent on Uncle Billy's lies on tape......save your money for something else.
