Thoughts:

Filled with eye-popping special effects, Lost in Space takes us on adventure through a galaxy filled with elaborate space ships, giant spiders, and even a cute little teddy bear-like alien. The opening dog fighting sequence in space was especially impressive; almost like watching Star Wars, except with 90s-grade CGI special effects.

I thought some parts of the story could have been better explained. Who were the "bad guys" who tried to sabotage the mission? According to the narrative, world peace had been achieved, so I thought the cause of their presence deserved some explanation. The plot had some other loose ends, but I won't go into them for fear of spoiling the story. Nevertheless, Lost in Space is an entertaining family movie and was well-worth the watch.
