Would that I had listened to my gut instead of Lost in Space’s flashy trailer,
one of the best promos for a bad movie (see also: Alien: Resurrection,
Cliffhanger) to come along in some time.
Where to start with my complaints about this movie? Is it Akiva Goldsman’s
ridiculous script that attempts to jam as many fall-down-howlingly-bad lines
into two hours as possible? Actors who obviously realize its qualities and
spend the time mumbling them beneath their breath? A ridiculous little
creature called Blorp (or Gleep, or whatever) that’s sole purpose seems to be
to sell toys? The time travel plot that takes over half-way through the film
and makes you long for the oh-so-logical days of The Terminator and Back to the
Future? Hell, The Jetsons paints a more realistic view of the future...
Lost in Space may ultimately be an insult to your intelligence, but it is an
insult with good special effects. But with a big-screen TV, you can wait for
that HBO premiere instead of shelling out cash for this loser.
Lost in Space? I wish they’d never found it....
Rollergirl gets her comeuppance.
