Lost In Space Summary
MPAA Rating: PG13
Director: Stephen Hopkins
Genres: Adventure, Science Fiction
Rating:
This 90 million science fiction adventure is adapted from the television series, created by Irwin_Allen, which originally ran on CBS from 1965 to 1968. The original series employed a Swiss_Family_Robinson in outer space premise; sent to colonize a planet in the Alpha Centauri system, the Robinson family was thrown off course by a stowaway and was left wandering from planet to planet (and changing along the way from a black-and-white series to a color series). The 1998 remake is set in the year 2058, when the United Global Space Force sends Professor John Robinson (William_Hurt) and family -- wife Maureen (Mimi_Rogers), daughter Judy (Heather_Graham), teen Penny (Lacey_Chabert), and 10-year-old Will (Jack_Johnson) -- on a promotional space jaunt to herald the "offshore" future for the human race (now saddled with eco problems on Earth). Major Don West (Matt LeBlanc), more accustomed to fighting menacing Global Sedition forces, is reluctant to sign on as the Jupiter II pilot but quickly changes his mind after he gets a good look at Judy in her fetish-fashioned space togs. Space spy Dr. Smith (Gary_Oldman), hired to sabotage the mission, programs in problems but winds up aboard the craft unconscious. Once awake, he summons the Robinsons from suspended animation, and they save the ship just in time, passing through hyperspace to arrive near an Earth ship where they encounter space-pet Blawp and hordes of teethy spiders. A spider bite makes the villainous Smith mutate, one of some 750 special effects, from animatronics (Jim Henson Creature Shop) to CGI, and other adventures await throughout the galaxy. Cameos include actors from the original series, including June_Lockhart and Robot Voice Dick_Tufeld. In a curious coincidence, the TV series took place in the future of 1997, the year this movie was produced. Bhob Stewart, Rovi
