Lost in Space   — 4K 09/02/25

Irwin Allen started a franchise with his 1965 TV show: there has even been a second TV series with Parker Posey as Dr. Smith. This very, very expensive 1998 space opera must be the result of millions of hours of digital labor, as the whole thing is a digital effect just as CGI wiped out conventional optical effects. It’s ‘Star Wars’ but for the whole family, get it?  The old formula comes back with a massive production and a stellar cast: William Hurt, Mimi Rogers, Heather Graham, Gary Oldman, Matt LeBlanc and Jared Harris. It’s a 2-hour audiovisual barrage, and slightly less violent than the average space extravaganza. On Blu-ray from Arrow Video.
