Dr. smith was the extension of them/the reason for the family getting lost in space to begin with. The sequel would have had the Robinsons arriving in Alpha Prime, but finding out that the global sedition had already taken it over.
I like it too It isnt good, but aint horrible either Just as I like the Alien Vs Predator, Daredevil, Sound of Thunder and others, I think all of those are pretty cool :0
loved this movie, it reminded me of the games i played like wing commander and the Darkening as well as the graphics a lot of the ride on cinemas had at the time
This movie was great for its time, back in 1998. The acting was great too, with a heavy-duty all-stars made up of William Hurt, Gary Oldman, Heather Graham, Mimi Rogers, etc. However, the audience did not seem to accept the portrayal of Dr. Smith as an evil being, as opposite to the original TV-series.
This was one of my favorite movies growing up and this scene is forever burned into my memory just like the pod race scene from episode 1... Sing this s*** on the big screen as a kid was so magical
i liked this movie. the acting wasn't bad and the special effects were excellent for 1998. wished they had made a sequel to see if dr. smith turned into a spider monster. the pain...oh the pain.
The one good thing is that the actor, Lennie James who played Jeb...his carreer is still going strong, he is in TWD series and so on :) Hes in the first episode as well as the one called "Clear". And his character is pretty tragic in the show...he wouldnt shoot his wife after she became a walker/zombie and later on..she attacked and killed their son... :(
This was average for a film in the 90's but it really holds up in the desert we call cinema these days. I can't remember the last decent sci-fi movie we've had. Probably Guardians of The Galaxy tbh.
Though the model doesn't appear in this scene, I remember reading that they made a physical model of the Jupiter (2?) and then scanned it in. I guess at least that gives the benefit of being able to achieve more complex shots, but with the near-realism of a true physical model. CG does seem to look best when used to enhance something that is in the real word (i.e. tangible).
"Finally... the warring nations of Earth had forgotten their differences and banded together to-" Gate gets attacked by humans with a whole hell of a lot of "difference" Intro makes me cringe every time.
@@imback3200 Thats the Bit I never understood, if the GEMTEK just let the gate be finished, all the humans would leave, letting them keep earth, so why fight
@@TheRealKaiProton Because they wanted to colonize Alpha Prime first so they could take it for themselves, they were actually building their own hyper gate as well, but wasn't shown in the movie.
I've always liked the concept of HUD contacts. SGI (Silicon Graphics) had a prominent product placement throughout even though, Ironically, the majority of CGI special effects were made using 3D Studio Max. They still hold up pretty well 26 years later.
Ok it's a cliche to say "this movie was a fever dream i barely remember" but that is absolutely true for this opening scene. Very disconnected, what is going on with the camera and blocking at the end there, and a spaceship design of a glass bubble vs the interior being genetic mutants that look like they come from star trek? Just a ton of weird choices you immediately forget until you see the scene again years later.
Ok, I mean I really do love sci-fi film, and films in general. I love set design, costume design, storylines, dialog, musical scores, actors and actresses, special effects.... you name it. I saw this on the 'big silver screen', in theatres I mean. This opening segment is a glimpse of one of the best promises for the futuristic precepts in scientific technology. Some naysayer commented that we won't really be ready at the aforementioned timeline for this conceptual space fighter vehicle to become a reality. I say if we stop wasting man hours, human resources, time consuming prejudices, energies evolving around war, greed and avarice, we could become a more cohesive, and united people. If we applied ourselves we could become extremely dynamic I say. How about that folks. It couldn't hurt. We should try to accelerate the physical sciences to better mank8nd and humanity as a whole. OK, I'll stop now....... Lol!
Really wish Matt Le Blanc did more action/scifi movies. I know he used to get criticized for his acting ability. He would do great against all the modern trash "actors" we now have to put up with.
Ahhh... The naivety of the 90s, thinking that humanity would abandon all their differences and save this planet. It's been a nice ride civilization. I hope this called "Life" is just a simulation and we could restart.
I think this was the movie that unseated Titanic from the number one spot, which it had held for (approximately) 44 months straight. Titanic had made the Gross National Product of France, too. Approximately.
3:15 - Fighter Pilot Jeb "Mo'gan" Walker be all like "You go on home now! You get to go home. I don't get to go home. I can't... I can't go home, not now, not ever. I'm not... I'm not... I'm not right." Last seen with Madison, south of the border.
The time line in this movie should really have been set in 2097 instead of 2058, to pay homage to the original series that had the story set in 1997. One hundred year difference, which really isn't enough time for these things to come true if this was in real life. But what would have been really cool is that this movie's story should have been set in 1997, to honor the original series time line. Audiences would find that interesting because they would have been watching this in 1998 when the movie came out & just thinking that all this happened the year before. :)
@@TheFacelessStoryMaker ... Yes, something like that. The only difference is that there was no Terminator television series a few decades earlier (in real life). I know some people did not like the Lost In Space movie, but I was fine with it. It was not able to sustain financially to continue with a sequel. At least they were able to make it when Matt LeBlanc was still young. He has white hair now, heh. I think it is time for another movie reboot, in 2025, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of its television debut.
Ty Nash. That is very true and agree with you. Were at that age in time where advancement had halted because we try to deal with the our problems the same way we have years ago. With war, greed, and power. I hear those lines in the beginning of the movie and I think to myself God I wish that would happen right now. Forget our differences and precede on to what we all crave. Advancement for a better world. In today's world, there is absolutely no way we would achieve this kind of technology and advancement by the year 2058. Not even in 100 years. We are so narrow minded right now with our current world problems that's it's nearly impossible to be close to this sort of future. Although I do wish it would happen and eventually I do think it will, I have hope. But not in the next 50 years.
Interesting opening.. It had my attention.. Then I saw the rest of the movie.. This and the spider attack scene are the only two tolerable on this lost cause movie..
This is how you know this movie had potential. Introduction to the situation, cool space station, and a really kick-ass space battle.
a sub plot more interesting than the main plot, matt leblanc makes a great space pilot/space soldier role!
agreed. this shoulda been the whole movie
Real talk
Makes me sad he got type casted the way he did. He's pretty awesome in the role
I will be as bold to say he would have been Space Brendan Fraiser. He could have been more of an action man.
Those are the coolest fighters in all of sci-fi, according to THIS 90's kid!
I agree, so cool. I haven't seen any ship in newer shows or movies top these ones.
SW B Wing
Star Wars B-Wing fighter has entered the chat.
@@Thizlamic Babylon 5 Starfuries - x - wings, pilot sits on a reactor.
I love how they introduce the raiders in this scene and then never go on to do anything with them for the rest of the film.
Opportunity lost (In Space Story)
They flew away from the planet they had their base of operations on. Quite obvious from what I remember.
Dr. smith was the extension of them/the reason for the family getting lost in space to begin with. The sequel would have had the Robinsons arriving in Alpha Prime, but finding out that the global sedition had already taken it over.
I like how they said the world was at peace and then promptly showed there’s a war.
The entire film is about them being Lost In Space BECAUSE OF the seditionist republicans.
Damn those bubble fighters with their tri-burst weapon are cool.
Blasts and noises in outer space, such an irresistible temptation
They remind me of B-Wings from Star Wars, and the rescue puts me in mind of what happen in Battlestar Galactica.
Maybe the design is based off the B-Wing Fighters.
Bubble Fighters = B-Wing Starfighter
Sedition Fighters = Twin Tie Fighters
And the bubble ship from Oblivion is probably based off of this ship.
4:12 I like how they plug SGI computers in the movie lol. SGI's were common to use in creating CGI for movie back then.
I remember seeing this in theaters with my dad as a kid, my mind was blown away
Ninj Yang Productions how old were you?
@@brycewakefield6565 Well i'm gonna be 30 next month. So i'm guessing i was 7 or 8 when it came out
@@ninjyangproductions7696 lucky I wish I saw it on the big screen
@@brycewakefield6565 It was pretty cool
@@brycewakefield6565 I remember they had special popcorn buckets and cups. They did the same with Godzilla 98
The Bubble Fighters were definitely the best part of the movie.
This movie reeks of 90's When I first watched this as a kid I knew my life belonged in science, technology, exploration - and warfare.
Jesus doesn't approve of your naughty murdering wars
Cool weapon sound effects god it was '98 wow
Transparent aluminum - Remember Scotty showed us how to make it..:)
It's real now!

@@mrthebillman too easy, we prefer getting it the most complicated way possible. X)
1:13, just love that launch for some reason.
Me too :0
sometime I feel like I'm the only one who LIKED this movie
You are not. 👍
I like it too
It isnt good, but aint horrible either
Just as I like the Alien Vs Predator, Daredevil, Sound of Thunder and others, I think all of those are pretty cool :0
False. This movie made my 90s.
@@thegrimmretails3777 Loved it. Darker, grittier, but still better than 85 - 90 % of crappy reboots.
I saw this on the silver screen I still love this film's design aesthetic ✨
loved this movie, it reminded me of the games i played like wing commander and the Darkening as well as the graphics a lot of the ride on cinemas had at the time

See. Lens flares look cool here!
To bad this movie didn't do well I was hoping for a trilogy
+cobeoe
It's only real claim to fame: Lost in Space was the movie that broke Titanic's streak.
MalcolmRandall wow really?
Yea knocked it out of the top box office spot
Tone Loc was in every movie I saw in the 90s.
One of the coolest title animations ever.
I love this movie. A really good movie!
"Brought to you by the US Army and Silicon Graphics..." BWAHAHAHA!!
Funnily enough in the junior novelization instead of SGI they say that Coca-Cola is the co-sponsor.
RIP Professor John Robinson
The Shark Teeth are a nice touch.
it would be cool to see matt leblanc in more sci fi action flicks
Thought the fighters design was so cool.
Matt-fucking-LeBlanc _somehow_ managed to be at least a little badass in this film.
Why somehow? The guy was jacked in the 90s
Reputation, mostly. He's Joey, after all--the role no one ever seems to let him live down.
Yeah too bad. He probably could have been a decent action star for action comedies (like Chris Pratt) if given the chance
This was one of my favorite movies growing up and this scene is forever burned into my memory just like the pod race scene from episode 1... Sing this s*** on the big screen as a kid was so magical
When I was a kid I had a little B-wing fighter toy from Star Wars. I would pretend it was one of these bubble fighters because I didn't have the toy.
i liked this movie. the acting wasn't bad and the special effects were excellent for 1998. wished they had made a sequel to see if dr. smith turned into a spider monster. the pain...oh the pain.
So true :0
The one good thing is that the actor, Lennie James
who played Jeb...his carreer is still going strong, he is in TWD series and so on :)
Hes in the first episode as well as the one called "Clear".
And his character is pretty tragic in the show...he wouldnt shoot his wife after she became a walker/zombie and later on..she attacked and killed their son... :(
+mansharker8 And now his character has really come into his own!!!
Even more so now, greetings from the future and welcome to season 7
Wow, was wondering where else I saw him..... 😎
I was wondering why he seemed like such a badass.
And Matt Leblanc is on the hit sitcom PUCKS
R.I.P. William Hurt 😔
This was average for a film in the 90's but it really holds up in the desert we call cinema these days. I can't remember the last decent sci-fi movie we've had. Probably Guardians of The Galaxy tbh.

Saddest title sequence yet. The logo just whizzes by. 3:49
Haters will hate
The computer voice is pretty hot
Been trying to find out who's voice that is for 20 years now lol She's not listed in the credits!
I actually inflicted this movie on my family through hotel pay per view when it was released on home video purely on how cool this opening scene was.
40 something years from now. Gee whiz, i hope the world doesn't get screwed up before then.

Ty Nash your describing Star Trek, won't happen in are generation that's for sure.
You used the word "evolving" incorrectly. What you probably meant to use was "revolving"
Who did the english female computer voice through out this movie?
If they made this the whole movie (and not Lost in space), MAYBE it could have been good.
Yes, it would have been the best space combat movie of all time. Don't know why the producer insisted for lost in space remake which killed this movie
Joey Tribiani finally got his big break
holy crap that's lennie james
1:22 He hasn't even taken damage, but his display already says "WARNING SYSTEM OVERLOAD."
Really liked this movie as a small kid. Now, not so much, holy shit 20 years ago.
Agreed. But i still have a soft spot for it and enjoy subsequent viewings.
best scene in the movie, and the only one
nah. they had good hologram phone call scenes
Trade it all for a can of raid.
What about the spider scene?
@@339Jackscarify I like it too
@@Flyinghotpocket That armor suit up scene is pretty cool and so is West's battle rifle when he's blasting those spiders.
Jamming a lot of Star Wars references into one space battle
0:18 Once I saw it I couldn't unsee it: the tiny ship near the bottom of the frame passes right through part of the structure.
lol I love the SGI reference . I bet those computers made the graphics
Very Cool! :D
No kidding, Lennie James! (Morgan from The Walking Dead)
SHOWTIME!
Jeb is Morgan from the Walking Dead!
0:02 FINALLY...
Cyberpunk Era indeed.
Matt LeBlanc had mix Don West/Han Solo in one character.

Sounds like something directed by George Lucas
So damn true, haha :D
2058?…not at the slow pace NASA is going.
Ahhh... The naivety of the 90s, thinking that humanity would abandon all their differences and save this planet. It's been a nice ride civilization. I hope this called "Life" is just a simulation and we could restart.
Almost forgot about this scene
William Hurt looks hot with that beard.
That right there was the hook.
The movie was alright too.
That scene has held up also.
SGI Saving the future for our children..... give me a break 😉
This dialogue sounds like it is straight out of Hot Shots!
The CG effects work by Cinesite, et al, helped bring life to 'Lost In Space.'
And the Magic Camera company, and Framestore and Computer film company etc...
