This ''darker,'' souped-up
movie version of the campy 1960s TV series has a dying Earth, a
tad more sexual tension, and a pitiable young Will Robinson, who
has to save his family three or four times before distant Dad
(William Hurt) tells Will he loves him. Deadly despite decent special
effects (the kiddie-geared TV show had more suspense), the
saving grace of Lost in Space are the extras, including sprightly
interviews with the TV cast, synopses of every silly episode,
commentary tracks from the film's director and crew, a brief
docu on the F/X, another on ''The Future of Space Travel,''
storyboards, a music video, cast bios, and — for those with a
DVD-ROM drive on their PC — the chance to create songs using
sound effects, design a planet, get screensavers featuring the
robot, read the screenplay, even play a videogame. The movie: D+
The extras: B+
Details Movie Rated: PG-13; Genres: Action/Adventure, Sci-fi and Fantasy; With: Lacey Chabert, Heather Graham, William Hurt, Gary Oldman and Mimi Rogers; Distributor: New Line Cinema
