Lost In Space(1998)
Based on the old television show that failed at competing with Star Trek, LIS is a film that is based upon one thing: Effects. Based on the fact that the opening scene and the end are the two most entertaining parts of the film (and those two scenes make up just a small part of the 767 special effects shots, still looking quite meh...) you can pretty much come to the conclusion that all the money was spent on CG rather than acting. The Parents are cheesy, the boy is a child actor, the girl is just dang annoying, and the antagonist (the best actor in the film, IMO) is still quite meh, this film gets on overall rating of MEH.
Really. Come on. SOOOO much more could have been done with this. put a little stop-mo in there, get decent actors, you're set. I say this, because ALL OF THE MONEY was spent on CG. I can easliy say that 80 percent of the film was special effects. They should have used stop-motion as a cheaper alternative, and used the leftover dough to get some decent actors and non-CG sets. Go watch it, you'll see.
