Amazon.co.uk Review
Packed with more than 750 dazzling visual effects, this US$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, Lost in Space is 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 favour of eye-candy and ephemeral storytelling. --Jeff Shannon

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   8 of 10 people found the following review helpful: Smooth, well executed and entertaining., 14 April 2001 By A Customer This review is from: Lost In Space [1998] (VHS Tape) I first saw this in the cinema and was disappointed after all the hype but when it came out on DVD I fell in love with this fun movie. The special effects are excellently executed, the storyline is smooth and the team are all real quirky characters. I have watched this on DVD about twenty times and must say that it is pure entertainment. As for bad guyz well Dr. Smith is so dislikable that you really want him to come to a bad end. All in all a must for any Sci Fi collection . . . this has legs.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   3 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Monumentally bad rehash of a tedious sixties show., 10 Jul 2000 By A Customer Another prime example of why tired old ideas fail to make great new films, especially when executed with this degree of ham-fisted scripting, turgid plot and odd direction. Matt Le Blanc provides a stilled performance that makes his Friends character seem like Citizen Kane but then there isn't enough here for even the most limited actor to work with. The script is poor at best and stymied by the kind of sickly sentimentality that would even offend Walt Disney.Halfway through the movie a comic reference is made to the Waltons, but even that showed greater restraint in its view of the family. Even Gary Oldman's typically overstated performance seems subtle in the midst of this saccharin dross. The plot has the feel of being assembled in post production from a series of rushes that were never intended to make the final cut. This is obvious even to the extend of lines being re-dubbed over action so that the lips are no longer close to be in synch. Plus points? The Apollo 440 soundtrack and Penny Robinson who adds a touch of bite to the otherwise vomit inducing atmosphere. If Heather Graham can't save a film then this corpse is truely lifeless.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

When I watched it, I half-heartedly followed the storyline, but there weren't any of these "wow-that's-really-cool"-effects that made the "Star Wars" movies so attractive. I always almost exactly knew what would happen next. I wouldn't say the special effects were bad, but they were pointless, in my point of view. No-one should spend money for this thing. P.S: I'm a German pupil and I've been learning English for 2 years now, so please excuse me if I've made any mistakes  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I had not heard of this movie before and I wonder how, it is breathtaking. Read more Published 21 months ago by P. SACRE Eye candy isn't enough to save this movie The only thing watchable in this movie, aside from Gary Oldman's character, is the special effects. They scream of CGI, naturally, but are amazing to say the least.
