Product Description
Product Description
Lost in Space (DVD) A family of space colonists, their pilot and a diabolical stowaway scientist become hopelessly lost beyond the galaxy when their mission is sabotaged. Marooned in an unknown and hostile region of the cosmos, they must band together to survive in this state-of-the art update of the classic television series.
Amazon.com
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

I think I know why some "fans" of the original 60s TV series Lost in Space hated the movie. They never really loved the series or science anyway. Maybe it was just something cool for the time. And, while they were expected to extrapolate the "next thing" after the series cancellation, they could not. Possibly this "techie" ended up like the average guy, following all the coolest trends until they are not cool anymore, who rocks in the 80s, 90s, and 00s, just like their mom does. Now, is that REALLY cool??? (NO, . . . it's just cool in a jar) Or just the newest corporate campaign. Granted, whoever visualized the Robinsons in the mid 60s truly were visionary. Currently, cool is common and plastic, and way more status quo than avant garde. Moreover, Lost in Space was never cool. It was fantastic. It took imagination. It inspired. It entertained. However, the series is very dated today, and can only hold sentimental value.
I recently rented Season One of the TV Series, and boy did it bring back memories. I remember almost everything, no matter how corny it actually is today. And it was way more melodramatic than I remember (i.e., families were more closely knit and touchy-feely than they are today). Too often, we are distracted from joining together as a Nation with imagination and true vision by some new refugees or natural disaster, which causes us to focus more on pitying and fundamental Abraham Maslow levels rather than abstract thought. Although, sympathy is what makes America great, we will need one day to REALLY compete in the tech sphere, and produce some more world-class ideas.
In the movie, sound, props, editing, directing, and script are all superb. The movie company had to append several years of the TV series meaningfully within two hours. I feel that they succeeded. There are more than a few thrills, laced with sentiment (even the bloop/blarp brought back memories) and suspense to keep you entertained.
I appreciate the complexity of the plot, which some may think moronic. The premise of the TV series was that each week resulted in a tense cliffhanger that you could easily predict the outcome of or not. There was always the . . . "tune in next week . . . same time same channel" ending to leave you anticipating more. Thus, the movie had to bring all the beloved elements of the series together in a meaningful manner AND take us someplace that we have never been before. It was a brilliant idea to flesh out the concept of father and son never having quality time to bond. Thus, younger Will, older Will, and the father all converged at the climax in a scenario that made sense of the alien mechanical spiders, diabolical Dr. Smith, macho Major West, and dealing with being lost in space. Surprisingly, Matt LeBlanc was well suited as Major West. He played the part with 110% the verve of the original character. Same for the others. Penny may have been very bitchy in the movie to her coolly analytical mien in the series, or Judy revealing more character in the movie, but finally, I warmed more to the new Penny, and even found her more beautiful than the first, and Judy still a little too distant for my tastes. Nevertheless, everyone was played more abstractly and not so naively emotional. This is better, seeming more sophisticated and scientific at once.
I accept this story as the rightful metamorphosis that it is. Hoorah Hypergate! Maybe, when real scientific thinking becomes the status quo, instead of just working quadratic functions without knowing why or writing essays to get a grade and never really saying anything, more people that claim to love science will be able to appreciate great ideas for what they are, and be prepared to always go to the next level/challenge.
Relax and enjoy a great movie if you knew the Robinsons in the 60s or are just meeting them for the first time. Maybe, you love science too, in any way, shape, or form it comes in.
In all honesty I get a sense that this may have been the kind of series that Irwin Allen might have wanted to create had he the money and resources way back in the 1960's. As it turns out the people who made this movie took a more serious approach to the Robinson family, and did what might be argued as a "1st season" Lost in Space homage.
The TV show was simply something to see during summer late mornings TV slots or afternoons when there was nothing else on or nothing else to do. The show was semi-serious in the first season, but was a real lesson in camp-TV when it came to the second and third season. Why that is I have no idea ... the cast claims it was the Batman TV series influence, but I'm suspecting there was just another social psychology strategy at work ... what it was I might take a guess at, but otherwise would just assume not think about it.
Regardless, the feature film, for once is improved upon by corporate market research in that the film was turned into a serious action-adventure-drama with a scifi backdrop. The story itself is almost too tight in that we don't get to see all of the plot elements explained, we just experience the story moving forward at a pretty brisk pace (though it does slow down for a breather here and there).
The cast are right for the roles, and the effete (if not just obviously flamboyantly homosexuel) character of Dr. Smith is replaced with a character that is more true to the original concept of a foreign spy (Russian in the original series) attempting to sabotage the mission, and the teenage daughter is played by an actual teenage girl instead of some 20-something dressed up and said to be a teenager as so often happened in movie in days of yore. The mother has the aura of motherliness about her, and the mission leader plays an Academician who is out of his element but learns the ropes thanks to News Radio's own engineer come to do a stint in a scifi movie. And of course there's the medic, the potential love interest for the pilot. The romance is kept light and flirty to allow the movie's story to properly unfold without burdening it with personal relationship affectations.
In short, it's a pretty good film.
The "time" twist thing is a bit cliche from a scifi fan POV; i.e. "Oh, one of these stories ... okay.", but it works. We don't get too many cliches regarding this sub-genre of scifi. The plot devices are there to carry the story forward, and do so appropriately.
I'm not in love with the film, but like I say it was a pleasant surprise compared to the goofy TV series upon which it's based.
Give it a chance if you're a scifi fan.
