Review

A slick, confusing, effects-laden version of the 1960s sci-fi TV show, which was pure camp at best. Though far-too serious for out-and-out, lost-in-the-stars fun, this Lost in Space does try to be more cerebral than its TV prototype -- and in the hands of director Hopkins and writer Akiva Goldsman, that's both a good thing and a bad thing. Hurt and Rogers are Don and Maureen, head of the Robinson clan, which includes Will (Johnson), Penny (Chabert) and Judy (Graham) -- they've all been '90s-fied (though this is set in 2058). Also on board is the nefarious Dr. Smith, played with hand-wringing glee by Oldman, who gets to recite the film's best one-liners. The action scenes are familiar though competent, the effects are well-done though not remarkable, and the ending is too convoluted for its own good.
