If the movie were rated only for the violent scenes, it probably would have been a PG. With the exception of a yucky-looking wound caused by alien spiders, the violence was pretty tame. But the language and innuendo were too strong for what should have been a family film.

What Parents Need to Know
About Lost in Space
Parents need to know that kids will see spaceships blown up and alien spiders blasted with ray guns. Dr. Smith, who has been turned into a human/spider creature, is attacked by his own offspring. There is also moderate profanity, and sexual innuendo between two characters. Will Robinson, whose ingenuity in problem solving and extensive science knowledge frequently gets the family out of danger, may inspire an interest in computers and robotics.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about movie remakes and nostalagia. Why make a movie that essentially reproduces a TV show most popular when many of today's parents were kids? Do you think it's harder or easier than creating new characters, new themes, new stories? Is there an element of safety in remaking a once-popular movie or TV series?

OK, what the ****?
I don't get this. The TV show was so cool, and now they make a movie out of it that makes "Star Wars: Episode 1" look OK. It was so bad I wanted to crush a webcam that one of the characters used in the movie, just because it had been used in the movie. What the heck were the producers thinking when they decided to make this? What!? WHAT?!!?!

Great sci-fi!
This is a heavily modernized version of the old Lost in Space TV series. It's funny and interesting, and the characters are memorable. I liked the movie. There are several extremely gross parts, however, that have to do with spiders, and a man being eaten by spiders. I recommend it for ages 12+, or maybe a little younger, depeding on the person's nausea tolerance. : )
