Took a while to get going, but the second half was fantastic. Visually very impressive. The family don't actually seem all that warm to each other, at least in regards to the father. I'm never really a fan of flashbacks to periodically fill out the backstory (eg., Lost), but it looks like that's the way this will do things. Obviously there's lots to John and Maureen's marriage to be explored this way.
The ending and subsequent introduction of Dr. Smith was brilliant.
WTF, they butchered the characters and the family dynamic. Is it too much to ask to have a family that isn't totally f***ing dysfuncrional on TV these days?
Ok. The first thing I noticed: they were throwng the cards in zero gravity... But when they put them down to put their helmets on, they set then on the table like they were at the kitchen table and the cards rested nicely on the table...
Quite a lot of suspension of disbelief required (in terms of science and other sacrifices to make the plot work), but otherwise this is an entertaining and promising premiere.
This show looks amazing. The storytelling is a bit slow, but it’s visually stunning, I’m really impressed.
What bothered me: It’s so cold that the water almost freezes instantly, but the family is running around without their helmets and their jackets open?!
Amazing premiere. I can't find a single fault in this...
trailer looked interesting, I truly hope they won't let it go into the teenager love story, stupid small child way
Water freezes from the top down. That's why it floats ; density difference.
Also, no hats or gloves needed?
How are they keeping the magnesium hot when it sits in a puddle of melted liquid water?
another Netflix, just boring Standard series. maybe give 2 or 3 episodes a try.
I never saw the original which is maybe a good thing as I can't compare and take it as it is. Not overly impressed though. Looks great, which is only a matter of budget today. But tweaking reality just to fit your storytelling doesn't sit well with me. It's lazy writing. I am willing to except certain things as all TV and cinema is mostly make believe but I'd like to be met half way.
It's only a ten episode season so let's see where this goes.
This episode didn't really felt beliving. There was just so many accidents going on, like the whole family was cursed or smth. In between there was a lot of family panic drama. Effects and other sci-fi related stuff was pretty well made tough.
There is just so much wrong with this show... Temperature drops severely and freezes their daughter underwater, yet they comfortably go around without hoods, starts raining yet they don't freeze to death, robot ain't smart enough to lower himself to the ground from the limb.. Etc etc.. But I still love this show!!
It's better the second time around. Regarding comments about dysfunctional families: show me a family of over-achievers who aren't in the least a bit dysfunctional. Now I'm going to enjoy the next episode... again.
Basically Young Sheldon in the space!
The original series premiered less than a year after I was born but became one of my regular Sci-Fi shows after first-run episodes of Star Trek molded me into a Sci-Fi fan, which led to my career in the development and advancement of technology. With that bit of useless information said, I have to say that at the end of this first episode during the evacuation of the space station, I spotted Bill ("Billy") Mumy and had to verify it to be sure through an online cast list (IMDb). I love when reboots and/or show/movie continuations include cameos by one or more original series/movie cast members, like Bill Mumy being in the newer Twilight Zone reprising his role as Anthony all grown up (no more corn field), and enjoyed seeing him, though only for a few seconds, as Dr. Zachary Smith.
I also really liked how we got to see the introduction of Robot, which was a surprise after the original series Robot was just a rolling computer that the Robinsons had taken with them on their journey. With today's technology surpassing that of so many old shows depicting the idea at the time of what the future would hold, there is always a need to update plots and back-stories to adapt a show or movie to more modern changes for the sake of continuity with our newer ideas of what the future will hold.
The "Lost in Space" (1995) movie was just OK IMO, and really failed to leave any lasting impression other than a bit disappointment; however, this first episode of the LiS reboot has already bested the movie as to my enjoyment. I'm really looking forward to finishing up this post so I can watch the next episode.
One of my favorite recent series was "Black Sails," which was a story of the Pirates in the Carribean from the RLS (I believe) novel, "Treasure Island" set about 20 years before that story. It was really a great series including Toby Stephens, who is now playing the part of Marshall Robinson. I'm so looking forward to seeing more of his talent as the leader of this expedition. It seems that someone felt that he continue the role of a ship captain, even if one ship sailed the seas and the latest navigated space. I'm glad that a captain doesn't always have to go down with his ship. Rock on, Toby!
There were a few holes in plot, family dynamics, and technology, as pointed out by a few other Trakt.tv members, but overall the show has already got me wanting to see where this reboot will take us. I'm a pretty easy audience though, by choice, as I let myself get wrapped up in the stories the writers try to tell, including the emotional investments. I can watch a horror flick and see it as theatrics if I choose to do so, but I prefer to let myself become involved so I can get the most out of the picture the storytellers are trying to show. I usually only flip that switch off in my psyche when there is a lot of gruesome effects or violence, neither of which will deter me from watching or letting myself get taken for a ride. I want to enjoy what I'm watching, so I let myself get taken it. This show has a lot of promise. Until my next over commented posting, enjoy "Lost in Space" (2018), and try to put yourself in a place to truly enjoy a story like this, even if it may sometimes be a stretch.
Got a space ship or other tech that needs testing? That's what I do. When tech comes out, I usually already understand how it works because it just makes sense to me. Yeah, I'm probably lost in space, so this show's definitely for me. Just remember that outer-space is spaced out.
"Danger Will Robinson!"
Great looking show. Also the story was compelling, especially the ending scenes. The robot is amazing btw.
If you have seen shows like altered carbon, the expanse, and firefly this show here is really just a flat and very predictive TV show. It bored me to watch it. The plot is just so simple and I don't like already those bad twists seeing in the first episode. Someone is nearly dying, all hope Gone, one character which is the weakest saves her. It is annoying.
Very slow start and story telling. The visuals are very impressive at times and the setting/story itself hits it right in the ballpark for me. However, the acting is mediocre at best and cringeworthy at times. The way the robot is introduced really has a family-friendly feel to it, which is nice. If the pace will be picked up I might stick around, but for now I have to see another 2 or 3 episodes to judge that.
It's a nice TV show, this coming from someone that hasn't watch the originals. The family relationship is obviously damaged, especially with hints and scenes that make it obvious, the absent dad, the kid who worship him to only get disappointed, the kid who hates him, and the youngster one.
The cinematography is beautiful, the acting good enough to make me engage to a certain degree, the soundtrack not that good (at least not enough to be memorable and it does promise a good show.
While I'm finding more annoying the tendency of remakes and reboots, when one is nicely done I find it to be perfect for the new generation (I'm not that old, mind you) to connect with the shows that we once loved.
Loved the premiere, can't wait to watch the rest.
Stunning visuals and an overall great reboot of the original 60’s series
It’s not just a retelling; the same characters but with different back stories
As with the original; love the robot
Pretty good so far. Even if the friendship between Will and the alien robot is a bit rushed; it's quite moving nevertheless. I also loved hearing the score from the original series.

It's so cold out that the lake freezes in seconds but they have their coats open and no need of hats or gloves...
