LOST IN SPACE-1998-As movie remakes of TV shows go this is pretty good. Gary Oldman is great as Dr. Smith. Dr. Robinson (William Hurt), his wife (Mimi Rogers) and their three children rocket off into space in a ship piloted by Don West (Matt LeBlanc). Heather Graham is older daughter Judy, a real egghead. Smith is a reluctant stowaway. They wind up being blasted into an alternate future where they meet an adult Will (Jared Harris) and his robot assistant Dr. Smith! Metal alien spiders figure in the plot.
Original series cast members June Lockhart, Mark Goddard, Marta Kristen and Angela Cartwright also appear. Edward Fox also has a small role.
Director Stephen Hopkins previous made PREDATOR 2, JUDGEMENT NIGHT and THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS. He later made THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS.
Thanks for reading!
