I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
best movie i've ever seen.
A Masterpiece!
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
I am a die-hard LIS fan, and I absolutely LOVED this special plus the DVD extras. John Larrocat hosts this special with Bob May/Dick Tufeld as the Robot that led to the shows origins, through all 3 seasons and up to the theatrical motion picture. And at the very end of this one-hour special we are given a super treat of Jonathan Harris & Bill Mumy reprising their roles as Dr. Smith and Will Robinson in their 3rd season costumes in a short scene that made me think that if they and the rest of the remaining cast did the same for the theatrical feature (with as much care as the crew did in recreating the original upper deck of the Jupiter II)-- like Star Trek did -- the movie would have been a huge success, and like Star trek, would have spawned sequels.All they'd have to do is explain, like Star Trek did, how they all got older and that (because of Guy Williams' death) John Robinson died 5 years sooner than he was supposed to because of the deal he made with The Time Merchant from the 3rd season. Then, Lost in Space: The Movie would be a continuation of the story, like "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" was, with a new adventure they'd encounter, then Lost in Space II, Lost in Space III, and so on. That final scene in this special showed me the potential is endless! If you own the DVD you'd want to replay that last scene over and over again because it is so cool!! The DVD has special features like behind the scenes of that final scene in the special and you can see how Jonathan Harris and Bill Mumy enjoyed doing it, test shots of the special effects primarily of the giant cyclops, the little robots, and -- my favorite: the Jupiter II and space pod flying, landing & taking off!Another unique treat in the DVD extras is an audition/conversation with Guy Williams being introduced to the show by Irwin Allen (offsceen), and you can see how and why he was so easily chosen to play John Robinson.
Danger Will Robinson! A wonderful tribute to a great Sci Fi Classic!Jonathan Harris the voice behind many Disney classic reprises his most famous role of "Dr. Smith" in recapping some scenes from this one in a million sci fi classic that was held together by the legendary nickel and dime insults tossed at the robot."You bubble headed boobie!" he would yell as the Family Robinson fumbled and failed at getting home. The doctors greed and cowardice "Oh the pain" always shined through. The late Harris would always be known for his over the top performances in this role that best suited his character.If you loved "Lost in Space" you will love Lost in Space forever and have a few laughs with the old cast of a film that nobody but Harris seemed to take seriously.
This is an excellent look back at Irwin Allen's great TV show Lost in Space. This will appeal to those who are already fans of the show, but probably won't appeal to those who never liked LIS in the first place. Fans are rewarded with much trivia, looks back at favorite scenes, behind the scenes activities, and a special treat of a short scene with Will, Dr. Smith, and the Robot made just for this show. What a Hoot!!
This muck was such a stinker and I am not a man given to writing bad reviews. This vile mess was supposed to be a tribute to Lost in Space an otherwise great if silly Science Fiction show produced in the 1960's. With the exception of a few touching scenes about the robot and, past cast members it was a whiny stupid senseless inane mess.
