Though passable by 1998 standards, the visual effects in the Lost in Spacemovie may induce cringing from modern audiences. The space spiders, for example, resemble cartoon monsters while interacting with the human characters and physical ship interiors. During the hyperdrive sequence, a terrible freeze-frame shot is used to illustrate the time dist...
In contrast to their counterparts from the original show, the new versions of Will and (especially) Penny speak in whiny, high-pitched voices that serve only to irritate the audience. I understand that Lacey Chabert was likely entering puberty when the Lost in Spacemovie was made, so I don’t mean to insult the actress for something that was beyond ...
In the third act of the movie, the characters enter a hypothetical future where Penny, Judy, and Maureen have all been killed by Dr. Smith—transformed into a giant, mutated creature after sustaining a scratch from one of the spiders aboard the Proteus. As Lost in Space fans will observe, the final scenes of the movie resemble the narrative structur...
In his hilarious review of the Lost in Spacemovie, Nostalgia Critic repeatedly mocked the Dr. Smith character for his one-dimensional villainy. As opposed to his counterpart played by Jonathan Harris, the new Dr. Smith spends a great deal of time justifying his motives from a philosophical framework, even embracing the title of “monster” after Maur...
Despite resembling the original cast, the actors in the 1998 movie failed to capture the essence of each character. William Hurt, for example, embodied neither the pathos nor the quiet strength that defined Guy Williams’ role in the original series, instead giving a lackluster effort as the Robinson patriarch. Likewise, Mimi Rodgers approached the ...
The Lost in Spacemovie also deserves criticism for its poorly-written, if not groan-worthy, interactions among the characters. Lacking the chemistry of Mark Goddard and Jonathan Harris, Matt LeBlanc and Gary Oldman exchange a number of weak, forgettable insults throughout the film. When parting with his wife near the final act, Professor Robinson—a...
Having portrayed Major West in the 1960s show, Mark Goddard was given a significant cameo in the Lost in Spacefeature film. Specifically, Goddard played the general who assigns the new Major West to the Jupiter mission. I thought this was a very clever and dignified role for Goddard, who never received sufficient praise for his topnotch acting in t...
Upon entering a hypothetical future in the final act, Professor Robinson and Major West encounter a thirty-year-old version of Will inside the Jupiter 2. Many Lost in Space enthusiasts felt that Bill Mumy, known for playing Will in the original series, should have reprised his iconic role in the futuristic scenes of the 1998 movie. However, the dir...
In addition to being terribly cast, the characters in the Lost in Space movie often seem like obnoxious, poorly-written caricatures of their counterparts from the Irwin Allen series. Professor Robinson, for example, maintains a harsh and dismissive attitude toward Will, making no effort to understand the frustrations of his own son—a mischaracteriz...
In the original Lost in Space, the Robinsons were a warm, compassionate, and tight-knit family. Maureen and the children, for example, would always support, respect, and obey Professor Robinson given his difficult task of keeping the family safe from harm. Professor Robinson, on the other hand, provided his children with love and guidance while mai...
