Hardly "made of pure crap". It was a pretty good restatement of the basic premise.
I loved the review, had actually been thinking about the horrendous Lost in Space remake the other day. Nostalgia Critic and I are on the same wave length.
I honestly am shocked at how poorly the special effects have aged. Usually space CGI ages pretty well.

Come on, good SFX? It looks like it was made 10 years before Star Trek: First Contact when it actually came out 2 years after!
It has a few bad scenes here and there, most cgi FX movies from the 90s did, but for the most part they are very good.
RAMA
The Nostalgia Critic and I are often on the same page. This time proves no different. When he says it's right up there with "Batman and Robin," he knows what he's talking about. This movie is pure, unadulterated crap. However, he did miss a few additional things about the "movie" that I can't stand.
Lost in Space was the first movie I can remember watching in a theater and absolutely hating as it played. I was 11 at the time, and haven't seen it since. I doubt my opinion would change much if I did, though.
That yellow cartoon monkey is one of the worst things I've ever seen in a film, by the way. Oh how I wanted it to die.

Hated this film, too. I cringed through a lot of it.
I remember coming across an article a while back by a film critic who got tickets to a special screening for the design, make-up and special effects people who had worked on the film. "It was a strange experience," he wrote - "to be sitting in a room full of people emitting tangible waves of hatred at the end product of two years of their lives".

I liked the movie overall. The CGI monkey thing was the worst part but it was a recreation of a actual thing on the TV show. The chimp with bunny ears they used then might have been better for the movie. The strength of this movie is Dr Smith. When people say the movie is bad, they need to remember that the show was pretty bad as well.
This movie had some "promise" to be a short movie franchise (it obviously set itself up as one) but many parts of the execution were poor.
Smith was over done, which feels odd in saying considering it's Dr. freaking Smith we're talking about here, with the evil Lacey "I Inhale Helium" Cuthbert was too much, Joey, er, Matt was too typecast and the plot was just dumb. The movie dragged, didn't need the time-travel nonsense, and who (or what) fucked Dr. Smith when he turned into a female spider?
And, really, he decides he wants to take over the Earth with his robot spiders? Dr. Smith wasn't that evil. He was just a metrosexual prick.
This movie was dumb, dumb, dumb. And they also made space firggin blue. Oh, and flying through the sun?! And through a planet to escape it?! (Gravity does not work that way!)
Ugh.

Akiva "I Wrote Two of the Worst Movies Ever Made" Goldsman,
The effects generally looked decent to me for the period; the CGI characters (the monkey-thing and Oldman at the end) are the least convincing.
Bad movie, though. Good Critic review, though not in the same league as his epic takedown of Battlefield Earth two episodes ago. That was one for the ages.

To quibble a bit on NC's rants on the movie. IIRC, it wasn't explosions that were volitile to Psyclo's atmostphere it was nuclear explosions.
Quite. Aside from the goofy looking fighters at the start of the movie and the wannabe muppet character; the film's sci-fi designs are definitely mostly passable, if outstandingly generic.
And it's entirely possible a kid who is a science whiz is naive about human relations.
This rant, well; I sort of liked the girl's voice as a kid and I still do, and the 'WAH-WAH-WAH' joke is awful. Sometime really needs to tell this guy that yelling hysterically is far more annoying than it is allegedly humourous.
