Ahahahahah oh man that movie was on today and I watched it for the first time in a looong time. I was not a big watcher of the original, but perhaps it's that seperation from the source material that made it so easy for me to find it a lulzy affair. I love it if only because it's so easy to make fun of lovingly. The CGI... it just. Ahahahhahaha yeah, that was that period where they really should have just gone with puppetry. These days you can almost get away with it... but most of the time I always feel like a nice puppet would save a lot of money wasted on teams of CGI artists.
Truthfully, as a big fan of monsters, I loved the weird spider-guy I totally forget his name of once he went monstery. Pretty sure that was a big "omg wut" to any real Lost in Space fans out there though, despite it being my favorite part. I think he was the only action figure I really really wanted as a kid (and wasted all my allowance on Beast Wars transformers and Jurassic Park dinosaurs instead)
My Barbies kept very strange company. And usually ended up looking like something from that kid in Toy Story 1's collection.

I'm sure a remake of the remake will be along soon enough.

Penny's voice drove me insane... squeak!!
You want to see something bad.
Look for the Pilot that was shot for a new series.
Penny was a baby, there was another son who gets killed and the robot looked more like a crash test dummy than a robot.

Funny, I was just watching Firefly and the opening shot from the link above is a shot from the Episode: Shindig.

I remember when this movie came out and the kid playing Will made some comment in an interview about the original Will actor and the TV series being really bad and that this movie was going to be so much better, and I thought, "brash, young upstart!" I mean seriously, this kid hadn't done anything up to that point and he goes bashing other actors and their work? Didn't seem like a good idea, but then again, I don't think he did anything else after that, but the movie also didn't fair very well either.
And I've been wondering, what happened to the girl that played Penny? I know she was on "Party of Five". Did she do anything after LIS?

The CG pet/creature Penny adopts has nothing to do with anything. It was more pointless than Jar Jar. It was just...there. "Just there" is okay as a background thing, but there were tedious scenes devoted to it, and it had zero impact on anything at all.
But Penny, boy did she grow up well. Google images of Lacey Chabert.

Wasn't the space pet she picked up supposed to be to the movie what Gloop was to the series?
I agree, it did nothing for the movie, but if they were doing all the main characters from the series, maybe they decided they might as well do the monkey?

It was somewhat OK until the monkey thing appeared!

AAAAHHHHHH!!! MY EYES MY EYES!!!!! :cry
now THAT is terrible! Bad ideas, bad acting (and actors), bad robot, bad design, bad cinematography, bad EVERYTHING!!! I'm pretty sure anyone who thought the 90s movie was bad will probably think twice after viewing this crap. At least the movie was much more faithful in concept than this.... awful re-imagining.

AMERICAN VERSION OF RED DWARF WHAT.
I'm going to pretend you never said that and that never happened. >8|
I liked it. Roller girl and Joey's in it.
lol. Yeah I got didn't even get halfway before i turned it off. I do like the little hints towards the original lost in space show they have in the movie.

75% of RD's charm was it's campy Brit-com edge. D: I kind of loathed the last season, and the idea of an American version makes me vomit a little in my mouth. Debating searching for it but then again perhaps it's best to remain in the dark.
Which reminds me. Has anyone here ever done a Talky Toaster build? If not, I just might need to take this on. If only to annoy my father. (Who still quotes Talky every opportunity he gets.)

Yeah, it had Craig Bierko as David Lister. Craig Bierko
It tried to be faithful to the original but because the show was uniquely British, it fell flat.
(can't find the original pilot... so here goes. With apologies)

There's a web series in the works. With a team that sounds dedicated to keeping the look of the original series intact. lostinspacethewebseries.com

I loved the original, it was on tv sunday lunchtimes, I have the dvd sets and find the eps stand up to rewatching, the characters were great , so was the hardware, The Jupiter 2, the Robot etc. you can forgive the cheesy plots and even cheesier Monsters. It was just great Tv.
I was never keen on there being a film and when I saw it my heart sank, when you think of what could have been....
