Able to exist on its own terms as an imaginative and active space adventure, while still catering to fans of the original

Sloppily slapped-together blockbuster wannabe.

It's a special-effects bonanza with space battles, spider aliens and virtual reality sequences, but this remake of the popular 1960s TV series seriously lacks humor.

The casting splits you down the middle -- you don't know whether to be grateful that you at least have good actors to watch, or to regret that they're given nothing to do.

A hodgepodge of influences and devices without its own look or effective narrative structure.

The acting is generally average, but Stephen Hopkins's directing is virtually non-present.

As TV-to-movie adaptations go, 'Lost In Space' is probably one of the more respectable entries in the field, with expensive production values adding a classy sheen to what's essentially cheesy material.

One expedition that should have been scrubbed long before the final countdown.

Mildly entertaining outer space adventure marred by some atrocious performances.
