A Disappointing Continuation

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Were do I start? This is what Lost In Space could have been. I agree with other reviews, the background of the people and plot is well done. We get a feel of what is going on, but no predictability, like so many movies.The only copy I know of, is the DVD one, that looks like a poor VHS tape. I sure would like to see the original.Here is what makes this...GOOD. I sat down to watch this with some friends and kids, they thought it was really good. (They know I love the old show!)So, a 'might have been' sitting in a WB vault somewhere. Production value is good, overall. I didn't car for the new robot, but everything else, including the new Jupiter II, looks great.

I thought that another reboot couldn't possibly be worse than the original campy series or the campy '90s movie. I was wrong.The first three segments are all about the teenagers insufferably whining. There's no action at all during this part, nor are the characters doing anything to make us root for them. It's all bad cliché family drama stuff.Finally, an alien ship attacks, but we don't know who the aliens are or why they're attacking. They're generic "bad aliens" and do nothing to increase the interest of what's happening.I find it nearly impossible to believe that this came from John Woo, a director who knows how to shoot more exciting films than this, and Doug Petrie, a really good writer from the Joss Whedon camp. I don't know how this went so wrong, but it did indeed go very wrong.Seek this out to satisfy your curiosity alone. I can very much see why the WB didn't pick this up for a series.

As someone who grew up watching the series, I was very anxious to watch this. After doing so, I have to say, I hated to see that it was over! I always wondered as a child, how Don came into the picture. This was explained in this version. And although I never knew there was a David, I hated to see him left behind. I think that Mr Smith would be missed though. His character made for many a great episode in the past. No one will ever forget that whining man, lol. All said and done, I was very entertained. Would definitely tune in next week...to see what happens next. I cant believe it was never picked up! Maybe someone will try this again in the future?

I found this while browsing, don't remember where. The quality kinda sucked (352x240 at 1150 kbps) but I was curious about it. Sadly, I wasn't overly impressed with it. It was kinda standard TV, but still almost entertaining enough.Huge goof: When Will and David are threatened to get sucked out into space, they seem to be suspended in mid-air, just grabbing some handle, However, Will's cables are clearly visible in two or three shots.Also kinda goofy is the use of 2003 Battlestar Galactica music (Richard Gibbs' "Are You Alive?", "Main Title" and "By Your Command") and right after that, Thomas Newman's music from American Beauty (track no. 9 Bloodless Freak").The morphing of Penny into a baby is mildy surprising, maybe they were gonna use it as an arc, like Penny gets sucked into so time-space warp and returns as a teen, preteen or fully grown adult, depending on which actress the network owes a favour to.And Jayne Brook as mom Maureen is hotter than Adrianne 'big chin' Palicki as daughter Judy, that's never a good sign. I'm not sad that it's not picked up, but i'd not have minded watching it on TV. Buying it or giving it space on my hard drive, nah.
