Lost in Space is an American science fiction media franchise originating from the 83-episode CBS television series Lost in Space created and produced by Irwin Allen, which ran for three seasons from 1965 to 1968 following the Robinsons as they try to endure the depths of space as a family of colonists. Several decades following the end of the TV series, a comic book continuation Lost in Space (comics) was published by Innovation Comics in 1991 with Bill Mumy, who played Will Robinson in the TV series, contributing to the script. . In 1998 New Line Cinema released the Lost in Space (film) - a adaptation of the original TV series directed by Stephen Hopkins and starring William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, and Gary Oldman. It would then take another ten years before the franchise was picked up by Netflix for a 2018 reimagining of the original TV series with Lost in Space (2018 TV series).

Reception
Lost in Space (film) was not well received by film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times, who scored the movie one and a half out of four, writing in his review, "It's got cheesy special effects, a muddy visual look, and characters who say obvious things in obvious ways". . The film has a 42/100 Metarating from 19 critics on the online review aggregator Metacritic and a 6.1/10 User Score from 60 user reviews.

Reception
" Some of the characterisation is crude. Doc Smith, for example, is a two-dimensional comedy baddie rather than a proper villain to have nightmares about," writes Sam Wollaston for The Guardian, scoring the Netflix reimagining a 3/5. Echoing these statements is David Griffin of IGN, writing in his 8.5/10 review, "Dr. Smith is just so obviously evil, with no complexity to her character. Even when the writers try to develop her backstory, it falls short." Rotten Tomatoes gives the series a rating of 68/100, aggregated from 74 critic reviews, while scoring an average audience rating of 73/100 from over 2000 user reviews.

The series was nominated for six Visual Effects Society Awards in February 2019, winning four out of the six for Outstanding Animated Character in an Episode or Real-Time Project, Outstanding Compositing in a Photoreal Episode, Outstanding Created Environment in an Episode, Commercial, or Real-Time Project, and Outstanding Visual Effects in a Photoreal Episode.
