Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

I tried to enjoy this film, but the over written musical score which never seems to let up at all through the entire movie was an ongoing distraction.

Besides the horrible actors and extremely bad dialog, nothing realy makes sense. Good CGI and a big budget, ruinned aka. tossed into the hands of a SYFY Channel like director... just ...no. Well here are some extremely annoying examples after just watching 2 episodes, I had to turn this dissapointment off after wasting 2 hours of my life. It started off interesting until they landed on a planet which is so damn cold that water freezes instantly, yet they don't wear hats and leave their jackets wide open.... not like it's cold huh.... they dont show any sign of freezing and the woman who broke her leg is somehow still alive after her daughter just cutting open wounds into her legs at a temperature of about minus 60-80° celcius. The second thing that made me real mad was when the dude of the 2nd crew which got mentioned, looked into his spyglasses inside of a swiss/canadian like landscape, but out of nowhere they somehow put a completely different image which wasnt even nearly looking like the place they are in, the whole background dissapeared and skies turned blue just like a sunny day in texas....like... how can a director be so damn bad and not see these horrible, horrible mistakes .

Here's a brain dead blockbuster which is pretty to look at but fails to engage the brain whatsoever. Fans of the '60s television series who are curious to find out how this filmed version holds up would be wise to give it a miss, as it's just an excuse for lots of cool special effects and not a lot else. Once again the plot seems to have been made up as they went along and is full of holes and indiscrepancies. Things get really bizarre at the end of the film, in which the script writers seemed to dig themselves into a hole and then decide to confuse the audience with technobabble to get them out of it again. By that time I really didn't care and was praying for the obnoxiously sentimental characters to get brutally butchered by a marauding horde of space-spiders.Where to begin with the faults of the cast? (I guess we can't just blame the actors, as the dialogue and characterisation is terrible and contrived too). William Hurt takes the lead as John Robinson, and never has a character been so dull! Truly this guy sent me to sleep every time he opened his monotonous voice. His wife is played by Mimi Rogers, one-time star of THE X-FILES, who flounders aimlessly in a nothing role. Matt LeBlanc is the Robinson's pilot (he can't be a family member as you have to have romance in there too) and is as you would expect, a good-looking but bone-headed meat head who looks good in his space costume but fails to create a realistic character. Heather Graham lends her fragile beauty to the film as Judy Robinson, a daughter, but she has basically nothing to do in the story other than flirt with LeBlanc.For some reason there are lots of extraneous family members added into the story in order to make it appeal to each and every age (we've got child, early teen, 20-somethings and middle-aged folk - what happened to the token old or black person though?). Most grating of all is the incredibly irritating Penny Robinson, played by Lacey Chabert. Penny spends the film speaking into her video camera and is played as a stereotypical dumb American girl. I was seriously ready to kill her by the end of the film. Jack Johnson is the annoying cute kid Will Robinson, the less said about him the better. The only character I did like was Gary Oldman as the evil baddie Zachary Smith. Despite the fact that he mumbles half of his lines, Oldman is still good value as the unlucky bad character who I ended up rooting for unsurprisingly. Edward Fox also appears to disgrace himself in a cameo appearance along with a few returning original cast members.The action sequences are well-staged but flashy, enlivened by some excellent special effects work (especially the alien spiders and the spider-thing that Smith turns into at the end of the movie). Not so great is the CGI used to animate the space sequences which just looks tacky. The CGI used to portray minor things - like the helmet which rolls down over LeBlanc's head - looks much more impressive. Basically the film has no plot, just scene after scene of the family being menaced by irritating robots and aliens and fighting for their lives. You know already that nobody is going to die, this being a family-orientated movie, so that suspense is ruined as well. And whoever thought to include the obnoxious alien monkey should be shot dead on the spot. LOST IN SPACE is an extremely light weight, flashy sci-fi story with good effects but nothing else.

As I said in the title, I've never seen the TV show. So I have no idea whether this movie is a good adaption and whether it keeps true to the original story. I do enjoy it and I have a fun time watching it. I love seeing Matt LeBlanc in this kind of role, because it's so different from his role in Friends as Joey, the only thing I've actually seen him in, other than this movie.In the year 2058, the Earth is nearing the day when it will uninhabitable because of irreversible effects of pollution and global warming. The Robinson family are assigned to go on a mission where they will go to the recently discovered habitat planet, and create a hyperdrive, so the trip for Earth's people will be instantaneous. But things get messed up on a trip and the family and other crew end up lost in space. They encounter a lot of crazy things, including their future selves and space monsters.Overall, I give this movie a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.
