Lost In Space

Pros: Matt LeBlanc in a non-comedic role, action sequences, time-travel
Cons: too much room for a sequel

The Movie "Lost In Space" came out way back in 1998. It was a remake of a television show that used to be quite popular. The movie itself took a lot of the plot line, and all of the characters when it made it to the big-screen. This was one of the...

Pros: Quite fun in places, some decent extras on DVD...
Cons: ... feeble plot, some DVD features very poor

Lost in Space was a popular science fiction series some years ago but I never really saw it. So I watched the film with no real expectations either way. And my final opinion is? neither way really. The film starts off with an space dogfight ...

Pros: Some good special effects, William Hurt, a few laughs
Cons: The story, Gary Oldman's character, some bad special effects, time travel/warping

If there is one thing that the majority of sci-fi/fantasy movies should generally avoid, it's time travel or time warping. It usually does not make for a good story, and has so many plausibility issues it's scary. There are a lot of things a movie can...

Pros: Most of the New Line Cinemas staff involved with this movie was unceremoniously fired after its theatrical release.
Cons: Some new-hire twit saw fit to release it on DVD.

I haven’t written a movie review in eons, probably because I lost my free movie pass and have been loathe to actually PAY to see anything that is probably going to suck. Last year, I bought a DVD player that was so outdated that it actually plays DIVX...

Pros: effects
Cons: Terrible screenplay; awful acting; aimless direction; just plain BORING.

The big-budget, mega-hype "event" movie is so trendy now it is becoming a weekly routine instead of a seasonal one. Gluttony is Hollywood's favorite sin, but it is the movie-goers who pay the pennance by being dealt the same things over and over on an ...

Pros: Special effects, LeBlanc, action scenes
Cons: Gets confusing when the time travel subplot begins, not really loyal to the TV show

This is yet another major motion picture based on a classic television show which rewrites the plot of the story. A world government-run space organization is in the process of creating a sort of space gate that will transport the world's population ...

Pros: Some of the Old Series Stars Had Cameos
Cons: everything else

This movie had such potential, a great cast, a title that every one could relate to, and then poop! The stars alone would be enough to draw you to this movie. Gary Oldman, William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, and Mimi Rodgers. Also there were brief cameos...

Pros: Some good FX, some trashy/fun performances, minor thrills.
Cons: The rampant corniness. That Lacey kid.

I think this is just one of those movies that everyone wanted to hate. As it stands after all the hype, it's not all that bad. Yes, the "family" angle was way overdone, and that stupid little monkey is almost as annoying as Jar Jar Binks. What...

Pros: Some pretty moments
Cons: That CGI monkey!

Lost In Space is better entertainment than the TV series upon which it is based; to say that is to damn the film to faint praise, for it should eradicate all memory of that barely entertaining '60's show. Unfortunately, like its predecessor, Lost In...

Pros: A few good special effects
Cons: Poor script destroys potential greatness

Man, was I looking forward to this film! Boy, was I disappointed!

When I was a kid, Lost in Space was the cool sci-fi show, not Star Trek.(Trek became a fad in reruns when I was in college). The Robinson family was so cool. Don West was a...

Pros: prose
Cons: Caans

This is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen! Man, I was rolling! Ok, ok….here’s the synopsis:

There’s these two cavemen played by Arnold Schwartzeneger and Ted Danson (in a bit of welcome surprise casting) and they live in Sri Lanka. One...

Pros: None.
Cons: Watching this film may cause a fatal brain aneurysm.

I've always wondered what it would be like to travel in outer space. Now, thanks to the movie Lost in Space, I have been able to experience at least one aspect of space flight: extreme nausea and the uncontrollable urge to retch.

The hype for...

Pros: Good special effects, nice bits for long-time fans
Cons: Bizarre plot, unmotivated cast

After growing up with "Lost in Space" reruns, I wanted to love the movie. Needless to say, I was disappointed. What was most disappointing was the poor decisions made on the script, when so many other good choices had been made.

For...

Pros: The third act gets bearable as intelligence begins to show through
Cons: Incredibly awful performances, editing, and writing helped only a bit by solid effects work

As I said in my review of Fox's Family Guy TV show, I really hate to trash movies and TV shows. A lot of people work on these things, and it's a shame to have to absolutely hate something that so many people have put so much effort into. I also...

Pros: Special Effects, Sound
Cons: Everything else

I was excited when I went to see this movie in the theater. I had watched re-runs of the show as a child, and the movie looked good in the previews. I so much wanted to like it. My hope and excitement lasted until about five minutes into the movie....
