     I finally Lost In Space. I wasn't that impressed with it. I enjoyed the

     movie, but it didn't thrill me. I was disappointed that it was Lost In
     Time

     instead of Space. I like time travel stories, but it wasn't warranted
     for this

     movie. For one thing, I find it hard to accept the coincidence they just

     happened to come upon the wrecked ship sent to resue them some years
     hence from

     their getting lost. Plus, there's also the time paradox of the future
     Will

     Robinson's robot joining the crew. Since young will leaves the planet
     before

     he even begins the robot's new body, Will and Dr. Smith never remain on
     the

     planet. Hence, he wasn't there to build the time machine or complete the

     robot's body. I can accept the planet still breaking up due to a
     timequake,

     but the robot should have disappeared. They don't even mention taking
     care of

     Dr. Smith's spider sting to prevent his transformation, assuming they'd
     want to

     for their own safety.
