The original Lost in Space series was camp so I didn't expect this to be serious, but the problem is that they play it straight and it's cartoonish. Silly inconsistencies like a character is although so strong, cannot get itself out of a simple situation. It was not too bad though until they pulled out a packet of Oreos, it was all over then. I have not seen such blatant product placement since they drove the car into Macdonald's in The Day the Earth Stood Still's crappy remake. Taking money for blatant product placement in a film is so ridiculous it hardly needs to be commented from, it just means you sold out. Therefore whatever comes next in the film will probably revolve around a storyline that the Oreo committee decided would show their cookie to the greatest advantage. Here is an irony COOKIE CUTTER MOVIES WHICH SELL COOKIES IN THEM!

The problem seems to be that a lot of filmmakers don't appear to have ever read a book as they have no imagination, they watch an old series then remake it while trying not to appear too similar, as you are no longer allowed to borrow from culture as Hollywood lobbyists have locked it up for 90 years. Then once they have something to copy, they add as much special effects as they can afford to. All I can say is if you want to make a cartoon just make a cartoon and stay away from filmmaking. If you want to make a film, use some imagination as special effects are supposed to enhance the film and not replace the storyline and everything else in it.

It is a tragedy that some good new filmmakers will probably never get a chance to make a good film as all of the money and talent is wasted making this stuff, that is just made to sell toys, games and hopefully start a franchise.

Why are the filmmakers not embarrassed making this dumbed down forgettable rubbish? When all these filmmakers are on their deathbeds, someone will ask them did you make any movies that were good, and they will answer "no but my overall special effects budgets were large", as they don't know any better.
