The fondly-remembered family sci-fi TV series of the Sixties lives again, in a daft but likeable mega-budget ($90million) big-screen re-creation. A cast of actors rather than stars inhabits the old Space Family Robinson crew sent to a far-off colony on their Jupiter II spacecraft, sabotaged by villainous stowaway Dr Smith (Gary Oldman) but saved by professor Dad (William Hurt) and a gung-ho major (Matt LeBlanc). The ensuing adventures try to offer something for everyone: nifty hardware and special effects for boys; romance between LeBlanc and teasing grown-up daughter Heather Graham for the girls; a feisty mom (Mimi Rogers) for the ladies; scientific mumbo-jumbo for sci-fi buffs; cute youngsters for the kids; a cuddly animatronic toy (Blawp) for the tots; and a robot for... well, people who like robots. This fun movie looks great, the pace is lively, the tone is happy, Hurt and LeBlanc score strongly and Oldman overacts outrageously yet again. Go, get Lost!
