Lost In Space (1998) Is Lackluster! - Hack The Movies

[@shainewhite2781]

The teaser trailer, narrated by Peter Cullen, Optimus Prime, was awesome and it's the reason why people got so pumped for this movie.

[@NebLleb]

Peter Cullen narrated a lot of trailers, promos and TV spots. Ditto for Jim Cummings, another famous voice actor.

[@kdusel1991]

​@@NebLleb Jim Cummings is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs! Along with Peter Cullen

This movie shifted my mindset about him and made me see him as more than just "Joey from Friends". I genuinely think that around this time period, if his people had pushed for him a little more, he could have been a decent B-list action star. He definitely had the looks, he was charming when he wanted to be and I believe he could have sold physicality fairly well. Unfortunately, this movie didn't seem to do enough to help him break the comedy mold he was in.

[@moviebuff3000]

This has been on my wishlist for Hack The Movies for years so excited.

[@JCIce007]

William Hurt in this is the most bored and sleepy that I've ever seen an actor appear in a major film. He makes the cast of Eternals look like they were on crank.

Lacey Cherbert was on Part Of Five I think? That was a big show at the time, and that's how she got this role. She was sort of a pull believe it or not.

All the actors from Friends are talented but for whatever reason, the guys had a tougher time escaping those characters. Matt was in Ed and Lost in Space. Hollywood stopped calling him for big movie roles after those two movies bombed.

I don't know how I missed this on the patreon ...I asked you a few weeks ago on the discord if you were ever going to do this movie and you replied right away with" we actually just finished the shooting the episode" and I honestly thought you were just fuckinh with me, but Tony from hack the movies, you're a man of your word ...... Backstory my dad was a huge fan of the show came home with this movie One Day in the late nineties and was a little disappointed at me that I could give a shit about it, he was a big fan of the series... Anyway I finally went back a few months ago and finished the Netflix series, and loved it so much so that I went on a little bit of an autistic bender and just binged everything Lost in space the old show this movie any podcast episode I can find out there, I even jumped on eBay how about the treads B9 battle damaged action figure, and the Jupiter 2 light up spaceship.....

[@Rapidkirby3k]

Always love a brand new Hack The Movies video! Yeah, I usually end up fascinated with bad movies such as this particular one, but I do highly acknowledge why it is certainly one of the most disappointing movie adaptations released in 1998, despite being coated with a bunch of VFX paint.😏 Also, "A million bucks worth of weaponry, and I trade it all back, for a lousy can of Raid." 😂

That's because she's a terrible actress.

[@kdusel1991]

She's decent in the second Austin Powers and in the Hangover. Mostly she's just hot.

[@MorganLegerInVaulting]

Fun fact, this movie nearly killed me. No joke. I talked about this on a review for my series. I was 9 at the time and during a visitation to my father, I got sick. He sent me to the emergency room of a hospital, but the doctors were a bunch of quacks. They put me in a room, attached tons of butterfly needles to my arm, and I just remember being in this dazzled mindset. They take me home, turns out I had the flu and he freaked out. As an apology, he put the 1999 Lost in Space movie on, as it was something I was kind of interested. At the time, I wasn't in the mood for it. But I remember being in and out for a majority it. I was fighting between the flu and a really bad movie. I swear, the whole thing was a literal fever dream to me. Years later in college, I watched it and once I got to Spider Hybrid Doctor Smith, a flood of memories came back. Worst movie viewing experience ever...Given I felt like I was dying literally!!!

Yeah I was big on Lacey as well. I genuinely still love this movie though. I saw it in theater opening weekend. Looking back, Heather Graham is the real beauty of this film. But at the time I was 9, and she was like a "lady" to me. One thing I love about this movie is the Silicon Graphics Inc/SGI is worked into it for her "vlogging" device. SGI made the insane UNIX computers that animated this film and every other major film: Jurassic Park, The Abyss, etc. They also designed a video game console for Nintendo called the N64. Their version of UNIX is called IRIX, and it was prominently featured in Jurassic Park when she's trying to get the power back on.
