Ah, the film that ended Titanic's monthly reign at the box office and became known as the Iceberg for a while. I always liked this one despite the flaws it had.

William Hurt: "I've never seen a Ship like this...." Sam Neill: "Ah yes, that's the Event Horizon returning from it's Maiden voyage"

"Dad, Mom says get the hell out of there!" spoken by the Robot will always be my favorite line from this movie.

Penny: "That robot is so Fetch." Will: "Penny, stop trying to make Fetch happen. It's never going to happen."

"I love you wife" - Professor Robinson, Lost in Space.

I actually enjoyed Lost in Space. It was a generic FX movie but definitely entertaining.

After this, New Line Cinema's next production would be Lord Of The Rings....and the rest is history.

Gary Oldman is the GOAT, he can play anything, probably stuff like a mountain or a tree as well, and you`d never know it was Gary Oldman until you watched the credits xD

Oliver Harper: And now a retrospective/review of Lost in Space. Me: Oh, the pain! The pain of it all!

I might be alone here but I think Matt LeBlanc should have had more of a movie career.

Gary Oldman has been in some great films in the 1990s. He was the highlight of this movie by being the villain.

This film had massive potential for sequels, now days it would set up a series easily.

Joey in space

having grown up at the end of the campy scifi. I still return to this movie every now and again. It is one of my favorites.

I've been waiting years for this retrospective review, and you didn't disappoint 😏

"DANGER, OLIVER HARPER! DANGER!"

Saw this movie on VHS with my family on Christmas day a year after it's release and it's pretty impressive! I don't care what Critics say, I love it!

Damn, didn't know Bill Mumy could've played an older version of himself in the movie. How cool would that have been?

10:54 "Pennyvision" predicted social media stories

Holy crap, that was Jared Harris?!?!?!?!?! The actor form "The Terror". Oh. My. God.

I was 9 when this came out, and I loved it. Judged it a lot less critically as a kid. To this day, I still love its charm.

Oliver Harper retrospectives have quickly become one of my favorite channels on youtube, excellent content mixed with great commentary, insight, and the fabulous voice with British accent. Well done Ollie.

I remember when I saw this in theaters, the audience cheered and applauded when the actors from the show appeared on screen and when the robot started talking.

The unknown alien ship looks straight out of Lifeforce. Now that would be a movie I'd pay to see...Lifeforce vs. Lost in Space. C'mon...get'r done!

To much faith in digital effects, they didn't learn a thing.

I was just watching this the other day... Great movie. 98 was a good year too.

Am I the only one who thinks LaBlanc missed his calling? Dude made for a *MUCH* better action hero than he ever did a tv comedian.

Lost in space was ahead of its time the graphics were really good for the time, I've seen the film loads and really enjoy it 🙂

Jared Harris is an insanely good actor, did not remember that he was in this.

19:39, the movie soundtrack is impressive and I was disappointed that the trailer music didn't make the cut of the movie. Oh, well.

Penny was my first movie crush

That score by Bruce Broughton deserves classic status. Orchestrations by Don Davis too, so it sounds like The Matrix in parts.

I was obsessed with this movie. It also made me fell in love with Gary Oldman and I had an enormous crush on Matt Leblanc. Ah, precious childhood memories.

For me the biggest problem with this movie was its reliance on time travel and paradox which is virtually guaranteed to make any plot indecipherable.

JOEY! NOT "JERRY"! No way was that just because of an accent. Lol, anyway, I kinda liked the movie. Nothing to watch over and over but not terrible. Good review. Thumbs up.

The movie is actually very good, especially hyper space.

I saw this in the theaters when it came out, and I’ve owned it on vhs dvd and blu ray. This movie doesn’t get the appreciation it deserves, it’s a fun over the top campfest.

A friend and I went to see this in theaters. As the credits rolled, I came out underwhelmed and my friend came out of a nap.

I saw this in the theater. I remember being underwhelmed at the time, but couldn't understand why. In retrospect, it's pretty obvious. Thanks for covering it!

Heather Graham is so hot in this one

I had such a huge crush on Lacey Charbert after watching this movie back when I was 14.

Thank Oliver, great retro and I really always had a soft spot for this movie, still have. I didnt know that those original cast actors had a cameo.

Mimi Rogers and Heather Graham.... daaaayaam 😎 Russ Meyer casting director

12:24, love Dick Tufeld, as he voiced the crazy drill instructor in an episode of The Simpsons where Homer becomes a bodyguard.

I was nine-going-on-ten when this came out. I remember seeing it in theaters twice. And honestly... this was a hell of a movie for a nine-year-old. I remember loving it (I guarantee I probably referred to it as "the bomb" for months after it came out), and I remember getting some of the tie-in toys and begging my mom to buy the VHS tape when it came out. Cut to over twenty years later. A movie-buff friend whose cutting down his physical media collection recently sold me about 100 movies on Blu-Ray, and _Lost in Space_ was among them. I ended up watching it last night for the first time in probably over fifteen years. It definitely wasn't good... but I'd be lying if I said it didn't supply enough nostalgic laughs and thrills to keep me entertained. For me, it was a (very) guilty pleasure. I don't think I'll be rewatching it too often... but I could see myself popping it on every couple years to relive some childhood memories.

Jared Harris is amazing in THE TERROR

His voice is so soothing. I would be freaking out if I knew I may never see another Playstation update.

I like this movie despite it’s flaws . Also . I love the remix of the theme song .

Great movie. I loved it as a teenager. I had it on VHS, but I never bought it on DVD. Gary Oldman steals the show and an awesome end credits theme by Apollo Four Forty.

In an alternative timeline this is the acclaimed thriller that lead to a promising action career for that guy from Friends, and a starring role in the Marvel cinematic universe.

I'm just realizing both this and Godzilla (1998) were released just around a month apart from each other. Both were hyped-up beyond imagination by the advertisements but failed to live up to expectations and thus were pretty much forgotten about within a few weeks. I never hated LOS but despite some nice visuals and Gary Oldman's performance, the whole thing just comes off so flat and lifeless. It was like three movies stitched together into one and sadly each is worse than the last.

Wonderful retrospective! 👍 What I remember the most about “Lost in Space” is that it was the first DVD I purchased as to which I’ve never seen before.

10:35, she was originally considered for Ellie Satler in Jurassic Park.

Actually, (pushes glasses up nose) the original LiS was pretty serious. In fact, Dr.Smith was quite evil. It wasn't until later that it got REALLY campy. I like how Harris secretly started to camp up his character's dialog with the Robot. Harris telling the story of how the head guy found out, and then told him to keep doing what he was doing, is hilarious. EDIT (22:02) Read the part at the top of the second column that begins "You have to remember that the television show changed over time..." ;)

This is easily in my top 25 favorite sci-fi movies of all time. So awesome to see it looked at in depth!

Such a underrated movie

This is a guilty pleasure. Is it perfect? No. The effects haven't aged well. But I still love it.

I vaguely remember watching this when I was a kid, but I don't remember much. A lot of those shots look reeeeally good for 1998 😮

I still like it, even with all it's flaws, it has a certain charm about it.

I swear every single review you do is fantastic!

This was a fun little sci-fi film. The Robot attacking the ship, the spider attack, and spaceship miniatures were great. Of the cast, Gary Oldman was the standout. The rest were ok. It was nice to see the original cast in cameo, especially the original robot voice.

Let me tell you, to a boy at that time 1. The Robot 2. Matt Leblanc's Helmet 3. Matt Leblanc's Gun 4. Lacey Chabert ... We were having a great time at the movies!

To be honest Predator 2 is Stephen Hopkin's best movie in my opinion.

Watched this with my first girlfriend in the last drive-in theatre in the state a few months before it closed forever. It's pretty special to me.

I watched this as a youngster and loved this movie. Old fans should free their minds instead of being stuck in the past.

I enjoyed it, saw it repeatedly. Just kind of nonsensical at times. Way better than the terribly scripted and plotted netflix show.

I love all the effort and information you provide, I learn alot from your videos. I especially love when you discuss deleted/lost scenes. Thanks for all the hard work 😄

I wish Matt LeBlanc's character wore that awesome protective helmet more throughout the movie, which would have made it more appealing to the younger audience. Can't believe they had him wore that just once...

Brilliant, as always. Oliver you’re unparalleled in Retrospectives and you’re only going from strength to strength. Been watching for years, to learn, to relax, and even to get to sleep sometimes - a new Oliver Harper is a genuine day-maker. Brotherhood of the Wolf (2004), Evolution (2003) and The Time Machine (2002) are reccos from me if you’re taking them! Gonna get cosy with some food and a blanket and really settle into my Sunday with this. Thank you so much, and keep up the excellent work!

I remember my mum telling me she watched the show when she was younger, so when lockdown came we bought the box set and binged the whole thing. I was surprised it wasn’t completely crap! The banter between the robot and Dr Smith was the best part of the show. Reminded me a lot of 60’s Who but campier. The movie on the other hand, was such a drag! Didn’t need to be two and half hours long (can’t remember if it was, but it sure felt like it)

I enjoyed this film back in the day. Had the soundtrack and have the Apollo 440 on my phone. The Netflix series is pretty good too. To disagree with you I don't feel that Star Trek 2009 was a good compromise for old and new fans. I do feel that Star Trek Beyond does a better job of that but sadly that film didn't do well.

Re: Lex Lang- he's most noted for his VA role for Power Rangers In Space as the voice of Ecliptor around the time of LOS '98

I loved this movie as a kid and always wanted a sequel.

The best parts about this film was the production design and the soundtrack. As much as I loved this movie as a kid, it's always the universe they built that interested me and how they portrayed that. For instance, I love that the area where the robot it kept, you can see spare parts stored in those bubbles, or that their neat little space suits come in vacuum molded plastic containers. It was a lot of world-building for a story that kinda underserved it. As someone who watched the original series when he was little, and loved this adaptation as a pre-teen, I definitely think it's still a decent movie. Could it have stood on its own as a singular piece, outside of the franchise? I think so.

The best 90's adaptations of 60's shows were The Addams Family 1&2 and Mission: Impossible.

I am going to be honest, I loved this movie and I loved the original series..I know many ppl don't and that's fine but I like the tighter story with the stakes being humanity being wiped out and a time limit to get the job done..Gary oldmen was a great Smith..great tension between a scientist father and a battle harden soldier..also loved the jazzed up tempo reworked lost in space theme. And finally, this movie has a very Fantastic four family feel to it and no one can tell me there isn't a Reed Richards Dr Doom feel between John and Smith esp in the last act of the movie.

Unlike you, I loved this movie! I'm 59 and saw this with my wife and children. I thought the new Jupiter 2 was perfect and better than the original from the series. The entire cast was perfect. Oldman's portrayal of Smith was brilliant. I never felt like you did on any level... It was an awesome and underrated movie that deserves more. Thanks for you're very opinionated video.

Wow graphics were top notch

To this day I quote "I love you wife" to my wife. And it NEVER gets old.

it's cool this movie launched Matt LeBlanc on a long and illustrious Hollywood career.

Excellent. Another one of your Retrospective/Review videos. Hey Oliver, just out of curiosity, would you consider doing Retrospective/Review on much older films, say from Classic Hollywood, for example Christmas is coming up, so maybe a video on It’s A Wonderful Life or something like that?

Funny ppl say the 60s series was campy as it's a bad thing... yet the good reboot movies from the 90s were the ones that kept some campy to it. Also, the 60s show was about the characters, this movie just is about nothing. Paper thin plot and no really dev for the characters.

The spiderlike monster is as bad as "The Rock" being a real scorpion monster in "The mummy returns"

This is a guilty pleasure. Its one of the first DVDs I bought for my home theater. The soundtrack is superb. The f/x is also spectacular, and ages well. The actors were all good choices, and I have no complaints about the acting. But the dialogue. cringy. very, very cringy. I know the original show was campy, but thats a lazy excuse. They simply put all the effort into special effects, audio, big name actors.... and just failed with the script.

You should do a retrospective on Robots, with Robin Williams. That movie had an incredible aesthetic.

Both versions of Dr Smith (show and movie) were great casting choices.

Jared Harris who plays older will also plays the lead role of the scientist in the great Chernobyl series I always liked the scenes between will and his father especially older will, there was a lot of heart in them

This brings me back. Apollo 440 on radio 1 and playing playstation. Doesn't get more late 90's than that

RIP William Hurt "I love you, wife."

Don't recall if I ever watched this but it did have a catchy theme tune we listened to for years after.

Back then I thought Matt LeBlanc was the coolest part of the film. Like Will Smith could have seen him doing more action roles if this had been better received.

Matt Lee Blanc is playing Joey in friends, as an actor in a Sci Fi movie called "Lost in Space"

Jerry Goldsmith was originally due to score this movie. As often in the 1990's, scheduling conflicts meant he couldn't. The same thing happened with 'Tombstone', with Goldsmith recommending Bruce Broughton as a replacement.

Only realized Jared Harris was dubbed until now what a missed opportunity

I had totally forgotten about this movie, that's how memorable it was.

That wavy LiS logo, Something crumples up inside me, every time I see it.

Always good to see a new review from Oliver. Greetings from Jamaica.

I'd like a Stephen Hopkins director's cut with some new vfx.

I love this movie! So cozy...like warm blanket in a rainy night. The very definition of guilty pleasure.

Always look forward to these retrospectives. Quality content.
