Lost in Space

(New Line)

This glossy makeover of the '60s TV series brings back Professor John Robinson (William Hurt) and wife Maureen (a fiery Mimi Rogers), along with strong-minded children Penny (Lacey Chabert), Will (Jack Johnson), and Judy (Heather Graham) -- and, of course, stowaway Dr. Smith (an uncomfortable Gary Oldman). None of it adds up to much -- the only purposeful consequence is the pandering set-up for a sequel.
