The prospects for continuing life on Earth in the year 2058 are grim. So the Robinsons are launched into space to colonize Alpha Prime, the only other inhabitable planet in the galaxy. But when a stowaway sabotages the mission, the Robinsons find themselves hurtling through uncharted space.
One of my favorite childhood movies! A little scary but it helped me become more interested in science.
I always enjoyed this and still do. Such fun just to tune out and enjoy.
Saw this one in the cinema when it came out and I was genuinely excited.
The trailer promised sleek effects, a darker tone and a reimagining of the campy ’60s series I had seen on TV.
Later picked it up on DVD, hoping it would grow on me with repeat viewings.
The setup had promise: Earth’s future is bleak, so the Robinson family is sent to colonize Alpha Prime.
But sabotage, time warps and space spiders derail the mission.
The cast is stacked, William Hurt, Mimi Rogers, Heather Graham and a surprisingly action ready Matt LeBlanc.
Gary Oldman chews scenery as Dr. Smith and the production design leans into chrome corridors and alien tech.
There are moments that work: the creature effects, the moody lighting and the occasional emotional beat.
The robot redesign is divisive, but at least it tried something new.
But the pacing stumbles, the plot gets tangled in time travel loops and the tone shifts from serious to silly without warning.
It feels like a film caught between wanting to be Star Trek: First Contact and Spy Kids.
It could’ve become so much more, a proper franchise, a serialized reboot, maybe even a cult classic. But it fizzled.
I liked parts of it and I still revisit it for the nostalgia.
It’s the kind of movie that made adult years feel hopeful, then slightly disappointed, but still worth a spot on the shelf.
Cool to rewatch 28 years later. This CGI was really good in 1998. Movie was so advance if you watch old TV show.
better than you remember, slated but I think its cool, matt leblanc keeps pulling these ridiculous constipated faces which is worth a watch for that alone......he is an awful actor lol
Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.
This feels a little dated, given the more recent "Lost in Space" series, and given the original series it certainly feels like a very different angle.
The cast is great, but doesn't quite feel like it gels well, especially sense it is supposed to be (mostly) a family unit. Mat LeBlanc actually surprises me by showing he has some action range, a young Lacey Chabert comes off much more obnoxious than I would have expected, and solid, if expected, performances from William Hurt, Heather Graham, and Gary Oldman.
There is just very little that goes beyond expectations. Don't get me wrong there are some very interesting sequences and effects, but just nothing impressive I'm going to remember down the line.
In the end I had a good time, and I'd do it again, but I'd rather see a more modern or higher production version of this like "Voyager".
Solid ride. Better than the campy cancer tv series. The third act is a little messy but overall, lots of fun.
I was in 8th grade when this movie came out, and I still remember how visually exciting it felt seeing it in the theater. The idea of exploring and adventuring in the far reaches of space really pulled me in.
Revisiting it now in my 40's, I see it a little differently. I still love the concept of space adventure, I just don’t think this film aged all that well in how it brings that idea to life. The visuals feel more like an old Wing Commander game, the acting somehow manages to be both overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time, and the story sometimes feels just as lost as the Robinsons themselves.
That said, there’s still something about it I can’t help but enjoy. Flaws and all, it’s a movie I’d watch again and again.
There are good movies, there are bad movies and there are movies that are so bad they're good. Surprisingly, this movie is none of those. With this cast, IP and budget, one would think it would be at the very least mediocre. This movie is absolutely terrible. There is NOTHING redeeming about this movie, not the acting, story, directing, SFX, nothing. I was honestly blown away by just how bad it really was. If you like to torture yourself, this is the "movie" for you.
I never saw or watch the original loss in space but I thought the movie had its moments but I admit it could have been better
It's a fun and safe family Sci-Fi flick with nice life lessons. 3.5/5 for me.
"Danger Will Robinson" A total BOMB, waste of time, talent and money. They used the title but couldn't even get the ROBOT right. Dr. Smith could have directed a better movie, and written a better script. Watch reruns of the original campy 1960's TV series! which is Shakespeare compared to this total failure!
I don't remember this being that bad. Came out 27 years ago right when DVDs just started coming out, so they sold a ton of them and they have them away with DVD players. It does not hold up. Not much to say about it.
Another common appearance on TNT, I watched this movie bunches as a kid. I remember it being quite silly, and that Gary Oldman transformed into a spider creature thing. And I'm sure that CGI holds up reallllllly good now. Looking back on it now, I'm guessing this was the beginning and end of Matt LeBlanc's post Friends movie career. I think this is one I need to revisit in the near future. Holding back a grade for now.
