Today’s VHS pick is Lost in Space (1998)—one of those 90s Hollywood stabs at turning 60s TV shows into blockbuster spectacles.

The cast is stacked: Gary Oldman, William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers, Heather Graham. For a movie this goofy, it’s still wild that they roped in so much star power.

Critics trashed it at release, but over time it’s carved out a cult following.

Below are portraits of the main cast—Gary Oldman, William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers, Heather Graham, and others—wearing futuristic grey uniforms. A review quote at the bottom reads: “A thrill ride of a movie… exciting, adventurous, eye-popping fun!”

Have to admit I quite enjoyed the 2018-2021 TV series too. Cheesy but fun, and a three-season run that actually managed to wrap things up before it got cancelled, which is an increasing rarity.
