Plot holes: In the (repeated) end sequence when the Jupiter 2 is trying to take off from the planet, it should not have had to dodge the same fatal rock the second time, as there was a significant takeoff delay when John Robinson returned. more

As a lifetime fan of the original, this was disappointing, 18 September 2003
Author: ApolloBoy109 from United States

I think the major problem was the lack of closeness within the family unit. The writers choose that as the overall arc and that was a deadly mistake. We needed to see this family battle the unknown enties in space, rather than each other.

I was not interested in seeing Dr. Robinson finally make amends with his son. By spending so much time on the 'family' problems, we negated any sense of adventure.

The plot should have been about something space, a distant planet instead of this internal examination. Lastly Dr. Smith was just awful. I love Gary Oldman but this role just wasn't one of his best. If nothing else Smith was a pain in the butt, the writers saw as evil and turning him into a spider and having the little spiders eat him was just plain stupid.

Once again the fault lies in a poor "Hollywood" script.
