LOST IN SPACE 1/2 of **** grade is F
I never saw the TV show LOST IN SPACE and from what I hear I didn't miss much. I was quite impressed with the cast list as the film began, images of them in other much better films race through my head. To say that this is a dumb action film is too kind to this utterly worthless trash. This is one of the years worst films.
The plot is just an excuse for a series of heartless and mindless effect shots, notice I didn't say 'special' because nothing in this film is. The actors run looking bored and probably having paychecks on the mind. What are these actors doing in this film?! William Hurt the talented star of Broadcast News, Heather Graham of Drugstore Cowboy and Boogie Nights, Gary Oldman from Sid And Nancy plus Professional, these are talented actors.
There is no point in describing the plot because the film hardly bothers. This is a film about Family, pilot and badguy stuck in space and a bunch of effects. Watching this reminded me of last years STARSHIP TROOPERS or this years Dark City, which not many saw, and how a film with inteligence and/or imagination can make a fun and great film.
