Lost in Space (1998) on VHS: Peak ’90s Cheese (infosec.pub)

Today’s VHS pick is Lost in Space (1998)—one of those 90s Hollywood stabs at turning 60s TV shows into blockbuster spectacles.

The cast is stacked: Gary Oldman, William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers, Heather Graham. For a movie this goofy, it’s still wild that they roped in so much star power.

Critics trashed it at release, but over time it’s carved out a cult following.

I loved that movie. The effects have aged poorly but it's still good, I was actually really disappointed that the more recent adaptation of lost in space took such a distinctly different tone than this one.

I think the effects are dated but honestly I think they held up pretty well. Almost 30 years old at this point.
