Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

markcasa-63624 I can't believe it, I for someone who has only seen the review of this movie on Nostalgia critic, and 4 episodes of the amazing Netflix show that just came out. I never saw the show form the 60's but I heard the show was just very weird. But going into this movie I just thought I was going to hate this movie throwout most of it, and yeah the first 10 to 15 minutes were pretty bad. There is a over long action scene, with so ok effects for the time, put then theres some dumb scenes with Will and his teacher. And Penny's annoying voice that sound like Peridot from Steven Universe, that made me want to rip my ears out. Gary Oldman playing the villain and being other hammy. But after that things actually get better. The acting for the most part though is not that terrible, and isn't actually cringe after they get into space. But then there is the CGI. I know for a long time that this movie has some really bad special effects, I know for the time they looked ok but on elf them is this monkey named Blarp, and he too me still looks really bad and is considered one of the worst special effect ever made. The last 30 minuets is a bit different. In my opinion I would just say it would be a better movie. Also the fight between spider smith and the dad character could've been better. Honestly I wish this movie got a sequel but I think it was good on its own.I can't wait to finish the first season of the netflix show and I give this movie a 8 out of 10.

Eric Stevenson I do feel kind of bad for knowing very little about the TV show this was based on. When I first heard the title "Lost In Space" I thought it would be about the characters from "Lost" going into space. What? Everyone goes into space nowadays. Anyway, all I really knew was about Dr. Smith and a robot that kept saying, "Danger, Will Robinson!". This movie features a family going into space but uh, getting lost. There's this one weird creature they call Blarp who does virtually nothing throughout the entire movie. I honestly have no idea why this character exists. I actually do kind of like the reveal at the end.We see a future version of Dr. Smith who's actually pretty well designed. Of course, he looks ugly when he's entirely CGI. This movie was also just too long. I saw the longest version at 2 hours and 10 minutes. I guess the acting isn't that bad and some of the action scenes are kind of interesting, but it's mostly pointless. It's actually sad that there were intentions to make a lot more movies in this series as this one ends on an obvious cliffhanger. Honestly, they might have improved in sequels. **

andrewnossol I am a huge fan of the original series but I'm afraid, like most remakes, this just sucks. The movie seems to have nearly nothing in common with the original series apart from the characters names and some original personalities. The casting directors did not even attempt to cast people who looked like the original cast. This movie is ultra modern and features crappy CGI effects as well as terrible acting. In my opinion this movie, and other remakes of classic TV shows, should be illegal! Overall I think this movie was just a total waste of time and money and should be never seen again. I think Irwin Allen would have been ashamed of it.

dsgraham212002 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.
