Lost in Space (1998)

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 .

Oldman plays his typical great bad guy.Most of this feels overacted.Checks his nails :) The uniforms remind me of Silverhawks.The ship got to be horribly fuel expensive to push through an atmosphere.Pillowy docking bay.Thank goodness for the deploying landing gear.Poke it with a stick first! Did he really say "I love you wife"? Dr. Smith is eternally condescending.Robot has a severe Irish Whisper.That was risky hoping he wouldn't make it through.A lone touching moment.Jupiter 2 looks like the Millennium Falcon's bloated uncle.Psychedelic and abrupt credits.Sometimes you feel bad giving a 2/5. Sometimes you DON'T.

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.
