Lost in Space (1998)
1/10
Too much FX, too little anything else
13 December 1998
Perhaps the only reason I went to see this movie was the fact that it was rumored to have amazing special effects. Sure, that's true. But the rest of the movie was awful.

Matt LeBlanc proves once again that he cannot play any part other than Joey from Friends well. He acts out his character with extreme stupidity, and when he tries to look like he's thinking or doing something intellectual, he merely squints his eyes.

A lot of the things that happens in the movie have no point. For example, on the ship they come across, they find a small yellow alien creature. It's cute, yeah, but it doesn't do anything! It sticks around for the rest of the movie just sitting there and making dumb noises.

The greatest problem was that they spent far too much time on the special effects and less time on finding good actors or good plot. The ending is perhaps the most awful ending I've seen, and the whole movie was overall a big disappointment. If you do see this movie, make sure you're not actually paying to see it.
