They should have been on Survivor.
Lost In Space (1998) can never make it past its original pained premise. Earth is doomed to environmental disaster, but the Robinsons, with their trusty, if lascivious, pilot Major Don West, are blazing a path to the only other known livable planet in the Galaxy to, you know, maybe ruin it, too.
Yeah.
And two young Robinson kids will be occupying important posts. They happen to be prodigies with all the usual irritating stereotypical kid things.
Robot and Mr. Smith are there as well, and I will happily admit the robot is fairly cool.
It was sort of vaguely entertaining when I saw it in the theater back in ’98 – not to mention excellent CGI for the time. The action is non-stop, but then we get into time travel, with all of its conundrums. The audience applauded in ’98 at the end, but I did not when I saw it recently. The show is essentially themeless.
Not worth your time unless you’re a completist for any of the actors.
