Love this flick. Draws a lot more plot from the 60’s show than the more recent reboot, but dials up the action and gives everything a slick ‘90s polish. Oldman really that’s the needle on Dr. Smith’s mix of menace and camp. It’s just a shame Hurt is so painfully wooden.
As far as I can remember, the effects hold up pretty well, too, apart from the monkey sidekick.
Had a crush on Lacey Chabert for all of 5 minutes as a kid watching this.
Yes! Lacey Chabert <3
Glad to know I wasn't alone.
We're dozens!
Was that the one with the kick-ass soundtrack... A quick glance says yes, yes it was.
I don't think I ever watched that show... but I know that soundtrack.
It's bugging me now because I don't know where I heard it from, maybe I heard it a few times when it was on the TV as a kid.
The one that I mean, and I think OP too, is a movie. I didn't even know there is a series.
It's based on a TV show from the 60s. And there was a recent reboot several years ago on Netflix
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.
Have to admit I quite enjoyed the 2018-2021 TV series too. Cheesy but fun, and a three-season run that actually managed to wrap things up before it got cancelled, which is an increasing rarity.
Wish physical media would come back, including reprints. I don't even know where to watch a lot of things these days with how everything is scattered all over every subscription service imaginable.
DVDs and Blu-Rays are still being made. Actually, you can get this movie in those formats—if you wish.
That is good to know. Maybe it's a good idea to dust off my old PS4 as a Blu-Ray player.
Yes, it is. I still use my PS3 for Blu-Rays.
