[@TrekBoy85OG]

I was obsessed with it, so you're not alone; 13 year old me was also crazy for Lacey Chabert!!!

[@AZ-rt2qz]

One of the best Joey Tribiani's movies.

[@timothyq.5070]

Wait wait- is this Joey OR is this Joey’s identical twin in ANOTHER universe? Hmmm 🤔

[@timothyq.5070]

Having just read your comment, I will say that would be awesome 😎 if it turned out this was in fact a movie Joey was doing and it wound up making him a huge celebrity!

@@BRIANOCONNOR2003 let’s face it- Joey found success. He just had to break away from the couch, Chandler, the chicken and the duck. Now he’s playing a astronaut war hero, he’s dating Lucy Liu who’s a secret agent…he’s made it!

@@timothyq.5070does that mean the Joey show is another one of his shows?

“And the monkey flips the switch.” Funny callback to an earlier line.

[@xaenon]

I've used the line a few times myself. Either in reference to some gadget that has completely automated a formerly-skilled function, or in reference to some person who would not have a job if not for the aforementioned automated gadget.

[@TheItsmegp46]

To paraphrase Joey from Friends, "That's not the Jupiter 2!!"

[@rraptor158]

That's got to be the least aerodynamic way to launch into space from earth. That's a ship designed for maximum drag. No wonder it launched so high up!

[@TheNN]

Remember in this version of Earth the whole planet is way too polluted to live on anymore, and Mr. Robinson calls Mrs. Robinson, "my wife". These are not exactly the brightest bulbs here.

[@uss_04]

Once in a while I remember this scene and recall all that air resistance. What’s Max-q?

[@stuartcastle2814]

I think it was a cool way to include an easter egg referencing the original Jupiter 2 rather than an attempt at realism. If they wanted realism, there would likely be dozens of Jupiter ships, all with different families, and all launched from space. As it was in the Netflix series.

[@macwyll]

@@stuartcastle2814 Agreed! The Jupiter 2 was the delivery vehicle for the new Jupiter to launch into space, as it doesn't look like it was designed to be launched from a pad.

[@cagneybillingsley2165]

the cgi aged well because even if it was not top notch, it was creative and the designs were high in verisimilitude

[@AiMR]

Joey and Roller Girl in Space!

[@toptobottom247]

Did anyone notice the outer shell used to break Earth's atmosphere was paying homage to the old ship used in the original Lost in Space TV series. They have the same design.

[@StarwarsHalofreak]

An aerodynamic nightmare for a launch shell, but a nice little nod.

[@Raguleader]

I got a kick out of that when I saw this movie as a kid.

[@CaptureCat88]

Exactly! Some other person commenting making up some crazy canon about what that was for. Just fan service for original. That’s all.

[@dboboc]

Ya think?

[@FingerGunProductions]

The reason everyone hates this movie is because is because it wasn't like the original tv show. If you look at it as if it's its own movie I thought it was a cool storyline.

[@chadergeist]

I like it. I have it on dvd (blu ray down the road with the series on blu ray) and the soundtrack cd and cigarette box cassette and the score cd too.

[@CybershamanX]

I thought this movie wasn't too bad, either. I don't think it deserves the hate that it gets. The concept of Jupiter 1 being the exterior launch vehicle with Jupiter 2 "shedding" it was a clever way of showing a touchstone to the original. It's too bad Matt LeBlanc's career kind of petered out after Friends. This should have been his breakout role. Unfortunately, people just couldn't help but think of Joey when they watched it. :/

[@wreststevster]

I like the movie it one of my favorite ones

[@StopReadingMyNameOrElse]

This movie was hated because of the whole spider smith thing. It was cheesy as shit and the CGI was terrible. Everything else was great though, exactly what a movie should be, pure entertainment.

[@dacres2002]

Why do you.. Why do you write like this?

[@zooeyhall]

I remember Roger Ebert's review of this movie: "It's like no one who made this movie watched a single episode of the original show".

[@ColonelMarcellus]

I said the same thing. Strange that I and Mr Ebert should agree on anything.

[@davidlafleche1142]

One thing the original show had going for it is that the Robinsons LOVED each other. It was the kind of family you'd like to be in, or have for a friend.

[@ColonelMarcellus]

David Lafleche Well said.

[@xtraspecialmango]

David Lafleche oh yeah? Then why did Mr. Robinson pimp out all the family as space hookers on Ralvelon 5?

[@roberthaworth8991]

Another Ebert inaccuracy. Themes and incidents from the orig. show are seeded all throughout this movie; the producer and writers definitely saw it and incorporated stuff form the best episodes. The runaway robot; the isolated ship they board; the "fake"/demolished Jupiter 2, etc. They claimed to have done so at press events, and it's obvious they did.

[@HikariLight121]

"And the Monkey flips the switch" Still one of my favorite movie lines of all time.

[@tungstenkid2271]

I never watched Friends but I'd heard of LeBlanc and thought he was just some soapy character, but I was pleasantly surprised to see he really knows how to act tough in LIS and just about stole the show...:) One favourite line was when he was asked if he was a war hero- "Well yes actually" he replied..:)

[@jackilynpyzocha662]

A dark side to Don!

[@wangruochuan]

totally forgot Joey was in this movie

[@roberthaworth8991]

The saucer shape of the J1/booster was deliberate, to prevent the Global Sedition from observing the true details of the J2, from which they could have learned key information and used it against the program (and/or: to speed development of their own ship to Alpha Prime -- remember, it's a race). The saucer shell also served as a layer of physical protection -- like standoff armor -- for the J2 as it was being built, and all the way up to orbit. The chemical rockets that get it up there were the decision of a committee, which selected the most-reliable way of doing the job -- one which did not needlessly disclose the capabilities of the J2's engines or the ship's performance to the Sedition's prying eyes. You've got to put the whole thing in its operational context to find out why they made the design decisions they did. Not all of this could be explained on film, but they all make sense given the backstory and the ultra-high stakes involved.

[@derpinbird1180]

I heard one guy say there was a big groan when all the armour broke of in the scene

[@TabascoSauceBoss]

@@CaptureCat88 yeah no shit dude, but no need to passively dismiss the dude who went out of his way to write a neat little, in-universe, plausible explanation why the shell/booster of the J2 looks like the most inefficient spacecraft design ever.

[@CaptureCat88]

@@TabascoSauceBoss Geez my bad. I deleted it. Happy now?

[@TabascoSauceBoss]

@@CaptureCat88 hey did you know that the shell/booster of the J2 is actually a nod to the original TV show’s starship?

Well done Robert, and thanks!!!!

[@alvinrodney6229]

Love Heather Graham's suit @2:21

[@largepurplemonkey]

Yeah this film had it's good points...

[@toptobottom247]

Great movie. On my top 10 list of sci-fi space travel movies to watch. The one thing, but a small thing. How come they didn't tuck the Robinsons in cryo until after takeoff and breaking into orbit first just to make sure everything was running good. I am not gonna let anyone put me to sleep until we successfully break orbit. I'm just saying. Executing a slingshot maneuver through the sun to escape its gravity and get back on track was brilliant. Robots opening scene "destroy the Robinson, destroy the ship" would have made a great action theme ride at Universal or Disneyland.

[@DenverTW]

Hated the "new" ship. Mr Ebert was right, it's like no one involved with this production ever saw an episode of the original series..

[@jasongradyphstiger6179]

I also like the fact that while major West just trying to put the moves on Judy her father Professor Robinson see this and I kind of wish he would say him major back to your station.

[@asianboy8969]

I used to have it hard for the younger girl back when I was a kid. I don’t quite understand a mission of this undertaking consisting of pretty much a family plus one unrelated individual and with such a small crew at that.

[@Raguleader]

It made more sense back in the 1960s when the show was made. The "family adventure" plot was still pretty popular. So later iterations of LiS get away with doing that because it'd be weird. Kind of like how both Lost in Space and Star Trek still get away with having the crew zip around in a flying saucer in the 21st century.

[@DavisOfAllTrades]

Joey!!! :D

[@MAnuscript421]

The Jupiter II was really cool. Although I'll say that it was a great fan service to show the Jupiter I in saucer shape like the show, the saucer look is kind of outdated. Great movie, by the way.

[@davidlafleche1142]

Are you kidding? The Jupiter II was even more popular than the Enterprise.

[@TheRedshirt93]

Somehow, I doubt that. Though I will not deny that the Jupiter II is a memorable ship, this movie was clearly trying to update the show to fit the times, and the old ship would not have meshed with the very 90's aesthetic of the movie. I personally think that the fact they included it at all was a nice touch.

[@BRIANOCONNOR2003]

3:35 i called Jupiter 2 ship DMC Because it reminded me of The DMC Delorean

[@trickykid73]

this film was great ..... shame it did not work for a lot ... i guess ?? 1st dvd i ever owed !!

[@GravesRWFiA]

I love how they used the TV shape of the ship as a passing reference and then it falls away to show the new ship

[@FirstLastOne]

This movie was made even more believable by the fact that Joey Tribiani was the bossman pilot of that garage kept, interstellar spaceship parked up on the roof of their downtown condo.

[@henrygrant6372]

[@Chopper894]

It was so disappointing when the outer shell broke away to reveal a different looking Jupiter craft from the original tv show.

[@earnestdillardii909]

agreed!!

[@frantic1971]

The Jupiter II taking off like a space shuttle? And then just as the music swells, that unique look of the ship---with its whirling lights, saucer shape, and oh-so-cool engine sound---morphs into some sort of ugly-ass ellipsoid blob?

[@CaptureCat88]

Cool. You never watched the original TV show and you’re confused. You have good songs though, Jack.

[@peepachu]

You're absolutely right. The look of the Jupiter II in the movie sucked.

[@Zagadka42]

I always love a good launch scene in a movie, but I keep getting hung-up on the insane amount of atmospheric resistance that launch angle must have generated (you know, understanding that it's a complete work of fiction)

[@randyrudd5594]

I didn’t give that a second thought!! The shape of the J-2 would’ve impeded trajectory.

[@srb1182]

I mean its the future so its probably just really powerful to where it doesn't even matter

[@macwyll]

No, the launch angle was straight up and slightly angled. With enough engine thrust, it is possible.

[@Zagadka42]

@@macwyll it's absolutely possible if you apply Soviet MiG engineering principles to it, by which I mean "Put a big enough engine on it, even a brick will fly."

[@lettermenfan32]

IMO, the only thing about this movie that was remotely reminiscent of the original TV show were the names they used for the characters. As a stand alone movie, it was ok, but for me, in trying to modernize the Robinson family, they simply ruined it.

[@baloog8]

Still goin with the ol hydrocarbon eh?

[@JohnSmith-gb5vg]

It was cool that Joey finally made it out of commercials, tv soaps and into movies. Wonder if this made his career? And does he still comm with his friends back in NY now that he’s a movie star?

[@AckzaTV]

we all felt cozi seeing joey

[@Babaliciouss1]

Two problems here. One for most fans of LIS the Jupiter 2 and the robot were the best part of the series, it’s like looking at a vintage car that was a dream from the past and you relive that moment in your life when it played an important roll ...so without those two nesalgic elements it was just another scfi movie...I do wish someone would remake the series right.....

[@peepachu]

110% agree. Redo it and do it right. There's a reason this version went nowhere and spawned no sequels.

Artificial gravity means they can manipulate the gravity on the ship to counteract the g forces of the launch. If the launch reaches 5gs, and the artificial gravity can create -4g conditions, it'd be just like he was sitting on Earth at 1g.
