First of all, I am a gargantuan fan of anything sci-fi. That said, chances are that if you liked “Serenity” and “Firefly”, and if you could imagine those movies/shows with a lot more humor and camp, then “Lost in Plot” is the movie for you. I had never seen the TV Series as I wasn’t born then, but the film is a appetizing confection, one that you will surprisingly maintain remembering days after you’ve seen it. This one is a panned film, with negative reviews all around, but for me it succeeded as pure sci-fi escapism and entertainment, and it surpassed my wildest imagination.

William Damage is reliable in anything, and he was mountainous here as the father who loves his work more than his family. The dialogue, which most people found inane and juvenile, is certainly nothing to write home about, but its servicable. I would say that if they had a better screenwriter the film would have probably done better business all around.

My only ‘problem’ with this film is the monkey-like alien that they suddenly introduced. They salvage this off a deserted situation site in a hyper universe. The moneky names itself Blarp. Yes, you heard that honest. The CGI on this is especially unpleasant as it looks like it belongs in a powerful different, great less sophisticated film. If the monkey were removed, this would have been an even better film.

Matt LeBlanc was 31 years primitive when he made this, and he has never looked better either before or since. I was quite surprised that Joey looked ‘this good’ because frankly looking at him today is a task. The same cannot be said of Heather Graham who has a very weakly written role. Mimi Rogers has the worst lines, as some sort of neglected housewife who unbiased happens to be a pro at interplanetary fade. Whatever. This all worked for me, no matter how convoluted it sounds.

The best plot to view this treat is to leave your brain at the door and grasp it for what it is. This is a fair slash of sci fi heaven, and definitely better than other more serious films of the genre like ‘Red Planet’. And since this DVD is bulky of features, I’d suggest buying this as soon as you can (it went out of print officially in early 2007 – no plan when its going to be encourage) .

Five Stars. HUGELY keen, and I could notice this over and over.

As a dedicated fan of the Lost In State TV series since my childhood in the 60’s I approached Unusual Line’s big-screen version with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation on its release in ‘98. I’d heard about the initial reviews and was ready to be severely let-down. Imagine my surprise to emerge from the cinema feeling as though it was one of the best times I’ve had at the movies.The unbelievable effects “blew me away” (leaving me somewhat exhausted by my responses to them) but unlike so many fresh sci-fi extravaganzas I found myself entertained by a complex and witty screenplay which also unexpectedly moved me with its restrained employ of sentiment.I applaud the efforts of Akiva Goldsman and Stephen Hopkins to recapture the tone of the early dismal and white episodes of the TV series (before the present descended into camp, never to fully recover) and found the 90’s modifications to the belief (eg. dysfunctional family issues etc) moving. Fans of the explain were given clever references to renowned episodes and lines of dialogue (the first two-thirds of the film stuck very conclude to the pilot episode and the following one entitled THE DERELICT) and the cameos by novel cast-members were large.June Lockhart in particular showed herself to be an actress with a intrepid sense of humour about her TV image! The film cast couldn’t have been better chosen (Gary Oldman is particularly outstanding as the vain, villianous Dr. Smith), all adding the kind of depth we don’t spy too often in films of this genre.Bruce Broughton’s gather (the tall John Williams was unable to redo his classic TV fetch due to other commitments) is superb (survey the reviews of the fleshy rep CD at Amazon.com) and a capable successor to its “forbear”. Although moved by the ending (enthralling the saving of John Robinson’s life by an older version of his son Will, who in accomplish sacrifices himself for him) I originally found the last fragment of the tale difficult to capture and sensed that editing had played a hand in this. The DVD’s commentaries and deleted scenes confirmed my theories(the “time bubble” sequence originally had many “bubbles” and dialogue had to be nick when confused preview audiences led the makers to shred this sequence down) .Nevertheless, repeated viewings have made even this fragment more palatable and easier to occupy (time warp sequences are usually a bit hard to fully work out at the best of times- eg. Help TO THE FUTURE II) .My only carp is that, despite Jared Harris’ pleasant performance, I wish that Bill Mumy (who played Will in the series) had been given the opportunity to narrate the older version of Will (he tested for the role and reportedly believed it was his for a time- his disappointment at losing it apparently played a major allotment in his decision to have no portion in the production) .Harris (the son of Richard Harris) apparently had his dialogue looped by an American actor.Nonethless, I happily cannot understand the tirade of criticism levelled against this film and have that time will be kinder to it than many other movies which were well received critically at the same time.One Melbourne critic (Jim Schembri, of The Age, called it “an undeniably gripping extravaganza based on the modest ’60’s TV series”) .It is incomprehensible to me that there were no Oscar nominations forthcoming for Visual Effects, Sound Effects Editing, Dramatic Rep and Art Direction-Set Decoration. I have yet to play the (excellently produced) DVD to anyone who has not been entertained and moved by it. A planned sequel is reportedly unlikely to be made now due to box-office figures- a tall pity which I hope will be turned around before cast contracts expire etc.. I cannot recommend this film highly enough- even to those who may not be sci-fi buffs.
