Wonderful character development!

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I'm a Sci-Fi geek, so I'm pretty forgiving if you give me the basics, but this movie was mind-numbingly bad. Despite the great special effects, the predictable plot, laughable dialogue and wooden acting makes one wish this flight of the Jupiter 2 exploded on launch, putting the cast (and us) out of their misery. Two stars for Gary Oldman, who is completely wasted in this lousy film.

Oldman plays his typical great bad guy.Most of this feels overacted.Checks his nails :) The uniforms remind me of Silverhawks.The ship got to be horribly fuel expensive to push through an atmosphere.Pillowy docking bay.Thank goodness for the deploying landing gear.Poke it with a stick first! Did he really say "I love you wife"? Dr. Smith is eternally condescending.Robot has a severe Irish Whisper.That was risky hoping he wouldn't make it through.A lone touching moment.Jupiter 2 looks like the Millennium Falcon's bloated uncle.Psychedelic and abrupt credits.Sometimes you feel bad giving a 2/5. Sometimes you DON'T.

Several decades into the future, life on Earth is becoming less viable, due to the effects of pollution. The Robinson family set out to the planet of Alpha Prime in order to colonise it, so that earthlings may move there. On the way, they get lost...Dull. I haven't seen the 1960s TV series so can't comment on this movie in the context of the series. However, the movie just seems very silly. Plot seems random, and what there is is not very original.All star cast - William Hurt, Gary Oldman, Heather Graham, Mimi Rogers, Matt LeBlanc - is wasted. Performances are unconvincing and wooden. Surely the director's fault, considering the talent on display.Not worth watching, even if you are a fan of the series.

First off, the 'worst movie ever' labels on IMDb posts show a lack of reasoning AND logic: "So, you've seen every movie ever made you say, and this one was the worst out of nearly countless examples?". Such an asinine claim can 'never' be true, as 'NO ONE' has that much time to blow by endlessly watching movies 'every' night and day. Lookee at all the superlatives? Such clap-trap.As far as LIS is concerned, what a humongous disappointment it was, indeed. My friend and I both felt cheated yet again at the cinema, just as yet another 'miss-the-boat-completely re-boot/remake had the same year, Roland Emmerich's equally-disastrous, Godzilla.But let's look at this version of LIS, as a totally-independent entity and on its own merit. There is no merit, other than the hefty 80 mil price tag for its production. The casting may have worked had there been effective direction, but the 'who-cares?' script and ensuing plot developments squashed that. Jack Johnson, as the young Will Robinson, was the only believable character I cared a tinker's cuss for in this whole mess. Gary Oldman's weird Dr. Smith seemed just weird for weirdness's sake, like he was so bizarrely in "The Fifth Element". William Hurt and Mimi Rogers might as well have phoned in their performances as Mr. and Mrs. Robinson (maybe they did, come to think of it), and Penny, played by Lacey Chabert, was the snotty and sassy teen we all love to hear bemoan the suckiness of everything. Matt LeBlanc's Don West was...Matt LeBlanc, and his interactions with Heather Graham, as the oldest Robinson sibling (does the name matter?), had no chemistry, whatsoever. What efforts were put into these characters' performances seemed misguided and pointless (except for Will's), most likely from the inept direction.The wacko monsters were a fun part of the TV series, but the creatures in the movie fell flat as a pancake (the CGI spiders and that stupid and god-awful pet thing, whose appearance tolled the death knell of this flick's fun potential). Any resemblance to the TV series and this movie appeared to be entirely coincidental...The Jupiter 2 was cool, so I've rated this movie a 2, out of respect for the best 'character' of LIS.
