Lost in Space (1998) on VHS: Peak ’90s Cheese
(media.piefed.social)
Today’s VHS pick is Lost in Space (1998)—one of those 90s Hollywood stabs at turning 60s TV shows into blockbuster spectacles.
The cast is stacked: Gary Oldman, William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers, Heather Graham. For a movie this goofy, it’s still wild that they roped in so much star power.
Critics trashed it at release, but over time it’s carved out a cult following.
Have to admit I quite enjoyed the 2018-2021 TV series too. Cheesy but fun, and a three-season run that actually managed to wrap things up before it got cancelled, which is an increasing rarity.
I have to agree, although I find the quality dropped a bit after the first season, writing-wise. It was still enjoyable though.
