The internet was a screeching modem. Titanic was still king of the world. And Hollywood, drunk on CGI and nostalgia, decided to drag a cheesy 1960s sci-fi show kicking and screaming into the blockbuster age.
It is a beautiful, expensive, absurd failure. It’s a time capsule of a moment when studios gave $80 million to a director (Stephen Hopkins) who said, "Let’s make a family movie about parental abandonment, time paradoxes, and a man turning into a spider." lost in space 1998 film
So, pour a drink. Queue it up on streaming. And when Gary Oldman screams, "THE PAIN! THE BEAUTIFUL PAIN!" just smile and whisper: "Danger, Will Robinson. Danger." The internet was a screeching modem
But is it entertaining ? Absolutely.
3/5 Stars (2 stars as a movie, 5 stars as an experience) It is a beautiful, expensive, absurd failure
