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

One of the Greatest Adventure film of our time. (2008-05-07)  I had seen this film in the theatre unaware of any reviews. From the opening scene till the end of the credits. Incredible. If you immerse yourself in a movie as I always try to do........ it's a trip of all emotions. I've read a few Poorly rating reviews and am glad I do not know these people. Anyone with a movie collection needs this film in it for the sake of your own history. Well acted and the best animation and CGI for the day. I just wish the Blue-Ray was available today. A sequel is in order. Let's go Major!
Annoying at best (2004-12-02)  To sum it up, any movie with Lacey Chabert in it will make you want to put a gun in your mouth. That's not the only thing wrong with this movie, but it's more than enough for me to say to everyone else: AVOID THIS MOVIE LIKE THE PLAGUE.
very enjoyable (2004-07-03)  since hollywood insists on remaking my childhood favorites im glad that i got lucky and somebody helped make this one pretty good. a lot of remakes trash the original idea and thus suck big time! this newer lost in space isn't bad at all. it is definitely something that you can watch with your kids. it's an update sure, but your kids will probably love this and it's true to the spirit of the old show. it's a kid's adventure through space with the robinsons. gotta love it!
this flick spoke to the kid in me (2004-07-01) I grew up on Lost In Space so I stayed away from this flick for years, but it was on cable one day so I gave it a look and I'll be darned if it wasn't GREAT! Sure it's cheesy as all get out, but heck so was the original show. I loved it. They added some more drama, but they kept the idea that Lost In Space should be a cheesy entertainment for kids. They added tons of modern FX, but they didn't kill the heart or fun of the original idea. It's impossible for me to hate this movie. I was afraid they'd take out all of the fun and make it so called adult sci-fi (zzzzzzzz), but they kept it goofy. Too bad these folks weren't around for Battlestar Galactica the remake (zzzzzzz).
Return of the Robinsons (2004-05-04)  The classic tale of the Robinson family (Swiss Family Robinson) was moved to a science fiction setting on television. That show is now a movie. But some of the ideas have been lost from the original and this would better be called Swiss Family Dysfunctional. The Robinson family is not a happy one and neither is Earth. Pollution got out of hand and the planet is dying. A new planet must be found. The Robinsons are going to fly a ten-year mission to a distant planet and set up a warp gate that will allow easy colonization. The world is depending upon them. But there are those who are against the idea and want the plane for themselves. They have hired Dr. Smith to sabotage the mission. To keep things quiet, Smith is trapped on the doomed ship. Well, the family manages to survive and goes through a series of harrowing adventures. All the while their internal squabbles grow more and more heated. In the end, they manage to rebuild their family but they have blown up a planet, committed genocide, and possible doomed the Earth. But there is still something fascinating about this film. Mimi Rogers has one of the best scenes when she takes on her husband (Hurt) and the pilot (le Blanc). This can be an enjoyable film but if you are looking for a film rendition of a television show you loved, I think you will be a bit disappointed.
