In that sense it reminds me a little of the Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich <i>Godzilla</i> movie, which incidentally also came out the same year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828341842948036592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349653650482188023.post-32473061811711168802013-06-03T03:28:24.239-10:002013-06-03T03:28:24.239-10:00I think one of the strongest pieces of evidence th...I think one of the strongest pieces of evidence that <i>Lost in Space</i> can't be extracted from its time is how far from its basic template the '90s film felt compelled to run. I actually quite like some of what that film tried to do (its concept not being as flawed as its execution), but had the characters been given new names its not even clear to me that people would have linked this spider-alien time-paradox yarn to its ostensible source material. It's a much easier job linking the original <i>Star Trek</i> to "Encounter at Farpoint".<br /><br />SpaceSquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760939592584995876noreply@blogger.com
