Lost in Space

Review by elbarto1 — November 13, 2008 @ 11:31 pm

Well done UA, this was much closer to what I had hoped to see in the theatre back in 97 (or whenever it came out) the removal of Blarp (aka Jar Jars father) was very welcome, and previously annoying characters like Don (Matt LeBlanc) and Penny (Lacey Chabert) actually become tolerable and at times valuable additions to the story.

This edit doesn’t make Stephen Hopkins’ Lost in Space into a perfect film but thats not in any way the editors fault. UA does work wonders with what was available enhancing the story by stripping away the silly comic relief moments that dragged the original down into “eyerolling/lol” territory. All the edits are well thought out and executed and definitely makes this a “replace your retail disc” caliber fanedit.

No major issues at all except when Will and Smith are running away from the time bubble (outside the J2) the volume of smiths dialogue/yell seems to drop but that could be my setup (watched at work on a PC – not a home theatre)

Anyway, great job UA I highly enjoyed this version.

Audio/Video quality : 5/5
Entertainment : 4/5
Editing Quality : 5/5

I actually agree completely with elbarto1, but the actual entertainment value doesn’t skyrocket for me. Obviously removing that damn cgi tangent is a great feat, so for that this movie is now not as irritating – it just wasn’t good to begin with.

Only one cut was, I felt, unnecessary – the kiss between judy and don and the end…

7/10
