Any kid from my generation saw the classic (reruns of) Lost in Space, in which the Robinson family was tossed into space en route to a colony world.
Or the Matt LeBlanc movie from years ago...
But now Netflix has the remake series in it's catalogue, starring none other then Toby Stephens (I'm such a fan of him) as John Robinson. Sure, the family roles have been changed, and their social interactions have been pulled to today's zeitgeist, but the core story is still the same.
The Robinsons, but now together with more colonists, crash land with their Jupiter 2 on a new planet. Here they encounter the Robot, a creature apparently the cause of their forced evacuation from the mothership Resolute. Amongst the survivors is also Dr Smith, a manipulative imposter out to save her own skin and gain access to the power of the Robot.
As the colonists discover that the planet is dying, they look for ways to launch from the planet, but at the sacrifice of trust, friendships and against the machinations of Smith...
A good remake for sure, and one I'm glad they actually produced for some good sci-fi hinging with Noshi.
