Brand new factory sealed vhs tape has all the front edges worn, especially the top edge. This could be a fault of the printers bending scores being too deep.
Full screen version is perfect for older model TV sets as it will fill your screen. Newer widescreen owners will enjoy the uncompressed audio, superior to its digital counterpart. And the reto pop-n-go video has no fussy menus to navigate either.
As a fan of the old TV series, I thought this was great and should have been a series of movies as one critic put it.
In the year 2058, the Robinsons and pilot Don West (Matt LeBlanc) are chosen to pioneer the colonization of a far-off world because Earth has become nearly uninhabitable. They are to set up a stargate at their destination where, by means of another stargate that is currently being built in Earth's orbit, people can pass through and arrive instantly.
The evil Dr. Smith (Gary Oldman) sabotages the expedition but gets stuck on board. Forced to use the hyperdrive without an arrival stargate to avoid being pulled into the sun, they end up anywhere in the universe, lost. They come upon a deserted spaceship with familiar markings, but the technology is far beyond what their used to.
In the greenhouse of the ghost ship they find and adopt an alien chameleon pet but are attacked by a mass of large metallic spiders from which they flee. Major West decides to blow up the abandoned infested ship for morbid and the shock wave causes the Jupiter 2 to crash land on a planet where a time bubble contains much needed fuel for take-off...
Occasional witty inside joke for fans of the TV series. Matt LeBlanc and Gary Oldman are spot on in their impersonations of TV counterparts. And the Robot has that familiar sounding voice from the show that should make fans of the old warm & fuzzy all over. Eye candy special effects and a story culled from the first 3 or 4 TV episodes should please the entire family.
