I have never watched the original Lost In Space and I don't plan on watching it any time soon. But you don't need to watch the original of something to enjoy a remake/reboot. However, Netflix's Lost In Space is just an unoriginal bore. It's very pretty and nice to look at and I can say that the CGI and cinematography are the best thing about it, but everything else is either alright or just plain bad. Even though in the 60s this concept may have been somewhat original, this concept by today's standards is not very original and plays out how you would expect it to play out. It's way too predictable. It's also just really boring, nothing different happens and I ended up losing interest within the first three episodes. They try and shoehorn in science to make you believe that the Robinsons are really smart, but the science they use isn't impressive and is pretty basic. I learnt most of this stuff in Key Stage 3/Middle School and seeing as how they make it some big deal I end up cringing each time they try to act smart. The characters are also just the most generic family members I've ever seen. The character development, interactions and dialogue are way too forced and cheesy which really dumbs down the entire point of having them. The acting is Disney channel levels of awful too and Penny just gets on my frigging nerves. The robot is the only character I could actually tolerate because he only has a few lines and rarely speaks only occasionally saying "Danger, Will Robinson". Oh yeah, and Dr. Smith's antics get repetitive and boring quick. While I think it looks gorgeous, the show is predictable, generic, boring and none of this is helped by it's dull and bland acting and it's attempts at trying to make you feel like you're watching something smart. Wanna watch something with decent CGI, good acting, a compelling plot and immersive world and lovable characters? Watch Stranger Things, another Netflix original that has actually EARNED it's critical acclaim and fanbase.
