Take out the obvious marketing gimmicks (spider smith and blawp, designed to sell more 64 oz bladder busters at circle K) and you've actually got a pretty good movie that remains faithful the first season of LIS, which was ground breaking sci-fi for it's time. (Remember the sorta salt-shaker-christmas-ornament-shaped ship in episode 2, "The Derelict"? Nothing like it had ever been seen before on TV or in the movies until Star Wars appeared nearly 17 years later).

I also thought Matt LeBlac's performance was excellent, as was the kid who played Will (can't remember his name offhand), and Gary Oldman was perfect as Dr. Smith. Mimi Rogers seemed a bit lost but she really wasn't given much to do..... and I don't think she likes playing a mom after being such a hottie for the past decade.

I doubt that there will be a sequel since New Lines plans for a big video rollout bombed but if there is it should be easy to correct the mis-steps of the first movie for a really excellent second installment.
