Lost In Space 3 review: A watch-worthy rollercoaster ride filled with action and adventure

Irwin Allen’s vision has been executed quite beautifully by each of the directors including Frederick E.O. Toye, Sarah Boyd, Julian Holmes, Jabbar Raisani among others and developed with perfection by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.

Review:

All well that ends well! Lost In Space series finale is the perfect example of the previously mentioned phrase. The adventurous space fantasy series has got everything you require in a good show to binge-watch over the weekend. From action to suspense to a teenage love story with a pinch of humour, the series offers everything in perfect amounts.

Will Robinson (Jenkins) is all grown up now, not only in height but in terms of his sensibility as well. The small cute kid is not only a gorgeous teenager now but is more serious and focused on how to save the 97 colonists, who have been stranded with him for over a year on a temporary planet. Although, the Robinson siblings including the former and the two sisters Judy and Penny (essayed by Russell and Sundwall respectively) seem really distant from each other. All they talk about is how to meet their parents again and reach Alpha Centauri, which is their final and only destination so they can meet the former Earthians and start a new life.

Meanwhile, Judy is the captain of the 97 colonists as they all are children, who were separated from their parents at the end of the second season. The former, who has taken all the responsibility, is also conflicted between her duty and her wish to find the ship of her biological father which she believes is on the same planet.

Will, who has been collecting enough titanium for a year, needs more of this metal to execute their exit plan sooner from their temporary planet, which is about to be destroyed soon. Not to be forgotten, the small kid who has become a little too tall, still has the alien robots behind his life.

The series chronicles each and every moment of the children and their parents subtly and at a perfect pace. One of the most likeable and simultaneously irritating things about this space show is it leaves a rather major cliffhanger at the end of each episode, which will compel you to finish all eight episodes at once.

All the stranded children finally meet their parents and the Robinson family also reunite, which is not surprising but one of the most shocking parts of Lost In Space is that Dr. Zachary Smith (Posey) is alive after all that happened at the end of the second season and was a completely changed woman. However, her force of habit created a few nuisances in the midst.

Spoiler Alert! The friendship between Will Robinson and the Robot has gone to the next level. The machine hasn’t only protected the little human at every step but also sacrificed its life in order to do so. This finally helped the protagonist to make a connection with SAR, the master of the vicious machines, and stop him from the destruction that could have swiped out the existence of humans.

The tiny love story or rather a love triangle story completes the show and makes it a perfect package.

Irwin Allen’s vision has been executed quite beautifully by each of the directors including Frederick E.O. Toye, Sarah Boyd, Julian Holmes, Jabbar Raisani among others and developed with perfection by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.

If we talk about the cinematography of Lost In Space, it surely is surreal. The VFX, which had to be the best for a space adventurous cinematic project like this, hasn’t been compromised at all.

The final episode finally shows everyone safe and sound on the Alpha Centauri. While it has been officially announced that season 3 will be the series finale, the end of the last episode, where Penny was seen writing a book about this legit journey, somehow raises hope among the viewers that we might get another season or maybe a spin-off.

Verdict:

Lost In Space oughts to be watched at least once or even multiple times if you’re into science fiction shows big time.
