Negative Positive
Title: Lost in Space
Review: First of all, I expected to like this movie. I loved the book, I think Depp is one of our best young actors, I was in Las Vegas at the time the book was being written, I admire Terry Gilliams's visual techniques, etc. But ...This was one of the worst movies I have ever sat through, on every level. Flashy visual effects and snippets of decent period music don't make up for a one-trick pony plot, seemingly off-the-cuff improvised acting, mumbled "dialogue," endless closeups of wrecked rooms and people and the detritus amongst them. It was painful to watch this movie, and at the end of it(blessed relief!) I wished that I had spent two hours doing something more meaningful, like watching Batman & Robin TV reruns.
