Review of Lost in Space

Lost in Space (1998)
5/10
The best thing about this movie is the Close Captioning.
20 April 1999
This movie is a monument to its own inanity. The Earth is dying, we have 20 years until the world cannot support human life. Resources are dangerously low, so what do the big brains do? Build a HUGE ship on earth to launch a little ship into space in the most inefficient manner possible. They should have built the little Jupiter 2 on that big space station. They send 1 family and a robot to build a hyperspace gate at the new world (keep in mind it is taking a LOT of resources and manpower to build the earth-based gate, there is no mention as to HOW the Robinsons are supposed to build the second gate. Upon arriving at Alpha prime they will need to build electronic factories, farms, mining operations and a space program to launch all the stuff they will need from Alpha prime into orbit around alpha prime so the family can build a gate to match the one back on earth. That should only take ... oh 150 years or so... HELLOOOOOOOOO? From this poorly planned last ditch effort we move along to getting "lost in space" and pretty much abandoning the human race to die, which the human race deserves if the people in charge actually expected this plan to work...
