To me it blended "Lost in Space" special FX with "The Avengers" overwelming sense of cinematic style. It was a platform for the director, not the actor nor the effects. It however was a package whose vision exceeds it parts. Could it have been better? Absolutely! But its existance has left an indellible mark on the genre. The standard has been raised beyond Hollywood's SciFi fixation with writing scripts to merely excuse stringing different FXs together. I was they'd strengthened the plot instead, but then again that didn't help "Lost in Space"s reception (in fact I wish they made it longer, the plot's blistering pace was fatiguing).PS: if you think Keanu sucks in this, don't rent "Much Ado About Nothing". Luckily, he only had a small part, but he stunk up the screen as much as "Jason Robards" did in "Julius Ceasar" or "Lawrence Fishbourne" in "Orthello".
