Leave your thoughts about Lost in Space.
| Time OutWally HammondMost effort has gone into the impressive Star Wars-style opening dogfight and the edge-of-your-seat closing sequences, leaving a drawn out mid-section on the ship, with only a standard mutant insect invasion to pass the time. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordWatching Lost in Space was akin to trying to run underwater. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackA wild ride through nonstop visual effects yet a warm wallow in the cinema of the dumbed-down. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonUsually Hollywood can't make movies that are as good as the best TV, so why not adapt bad TV shows into good movies? That's what they've done here with the new Lost in Space movie. |
| Film Journal InternationalRod GrangerA hodgepodge of influences and devices without its own look or effective narrative structure. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIs any of this, you know, fun? Just barely. But I'm sure I would have loved it at 6. |
| Film4Film4 StaffYou have to wonder how much longer Oldman can get away with his OTT villain act. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJoBloOverall, if you're a big sci-fi fan, check this movie out for the special effects and challenging narrative, and if you're not, I would still suggest seeing this movie, but then you could probably wait until it comes out on video. |
| Seattle TimesTed FryMuch of the movie plays like a live-action video game, and the sequel-ready ending feels akin to falling off a cliff. But with its appealing mix of heart and adventure, Lost in Space is great fun for children of the '60s or the '90s. |
| Florida Times-UnionMatt SoergelIt's too long and a bit clunky, the special effects sometimes slip, and the plot seems at times to be made up as it went along. But Lost in Space remains appealing, with a great robot, a genuine sense of adventure and a good bit of ambition. |
