Arrow Video Revives Lost in Space with a New Cosmic 4K Ultra HD Collector’s Edition

Arrow Video boldly ventures into deep space with a spectacular new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release of the 1998 sci-fi adventure Lost in Space. What was once met with lukewarm reception at launch has since built a larger following, and now fans can experience this cosmic odyssey like never before with a stunning new restoration and collectible packaging that’s as eye-catching as the Jupiter 2 itself.

From the producers of Deep Blue Sea and Poseidon comes a high-octane reinvention of the legendary 1960s television classic. The year is 2058, and Earth is on the verge of collapse. Humanity’s survival rests on the shoulders of the Robinson family, chosen to embark on a perilous mission to colonize a new world. Aboard the Jupiter 2, Professor John Robinson (William Hurt), Maureen Robinson (Mimi Rogers), their children Judy (Heather Graham), Penny (Lacey Chabert), and Will (Jack Johnson), along with hotshot pilot Major Don West (Matt LeBlanc), set out to secure a future among the stars.

But sabotage strikes from within. The treacherous Dr. Zachary Smith (Gary Oldman, in one of his most sinister roles) derails the mission, hurling the Jupiter 2 through a rift in space-time and stranding the crew in an uncharted galaxy. Lost among alien worlds, deadly lifeforms, and cosmic anomalies, the Space Family Robinson must fight to survive while navigating Smith’s unpredictable schemes. Can they hold together as a family, or will the void of space tear them apart?

The 1998 Lost in Space movie has long divided audiences. Upon release, many viewers criticized its tonally inconsistent and convoluted plot, weak CGI effects, and lack of meaningful character development. Despite boasting a strong cast, the film was seen as a missed opportunity, a project with great potential that was poorly executed. Longtime fans of the original 1960s series felt especially let down, as the movie strayed from the adventurous, family-friendly spirit of the show, instead delivering a darker and overly serious sci-fi action spectacle that alienated casual audiences and diehards alike.

Yet, over time, Lost in Space (1998) has earned a surprising amount of reevaluation. While the special effects now look dated, the film’s darker tone and willingness to experiment with a more mature storyline make it stand out among late-’90s sci-fi movies. The time-travel twist, featuring alternate versions of Will Robinson and the ever-devious Dr. Zachary Smith, adds a layer of intrigue that remains both unsettling and fascinating.

Though uneven writing and an unsatisfying ending keep the film from reaching classic status, it has flashes of bold creativity that set it apart from other sci-fi misfires of its era. In hindsight, this ambitious but flawed reimagining deserves more credit than it received in 1998. It may never fully escape its reputation, but for some fans, the darker edge of Lost in Space (1998) makes it a more memorable journey than critics once claimed.

Packed with dazzling late-’90s visual effects, adrenaline-fueled set pieces, and nostalgic callbacks—including the unforgettable catchphrase “Danger, Will Robinson!” Lost in Space (1998) stands as both a thrilling tribute and a bold reimagining of the original TV series. This deluxe Arrow Video edition includes brand-new artwork, archival extras, and an interstellar restoration that makes the Jupiter 2 shine brighter than ever.
