They made one of the same BIG mistakes that the movie did. You DON'T change the Jupiter 2. i'll say one thing, they did manage to have aliens that are as hokey looking as the ones in the old series. I am impressed with the practical effect on the guns, though. It looks like they were butane fueled like the gun in "Logan's Run". Cheap but effective. No post production fx needed, just live on set pyrotech.
Explosive decompression doesn't permit even shouted conversation -- its noise is like a freight train tht's roaring close by everyone. Also, even candy wrappers and bobby pins become painful missiles, flying through the air FAST. Their faces should have been distorted by the pressure of >100 MPH buffeting winds; the eyes can barely open to slits under such conditions. And the breath is just a shallow uh-uh-uh-uh , due to constriction and a sudden, intense cold.
at least the God Awful 90's movie kept the original concept, this is so freakin stupid, like some executive was on cocaine when they came up with this
. For some reason have feeling the aliens were not aliens but some type of body armor and possibly humans underneath
The robot appears in later but he is just looks like a C3PO reject. Not like the heavy duty Power Tank from before. Weak writing and too many changes from the original. Do like the updated style and modernization but when you take away too many key elements, things get lost in translation.
Cut them some slack on the straps-- They would have been taken out in post production. (It's still a stupid scene for other reasons, but the wires would have been invisible in a finished product.)
This is slightly better than the 1998 movie, but still light years away from the original. Thanks for the download though, I'd rather watch this than what;s on TV now.
Thank god it remained unsold. No Dr. Smith, no robot, and Penny is an infant??? Straying too far away from the original concept often guarantees failure. Kinda like that smash hit from the 80's called "The New Monkees!" lol!
GMAFB! (Figure out the acronym for yourself.) This is so fscking stupid it almost defies belief. Yes, the LIS movie was just as stupid, but it was at least mildly entertaining. This was just stoopid. The aliens looked like the Sleestak from "Land of the Lost." Nice touch to have Maureen's jacket torn, though.
Absolute garbage. No robot, no Dr. Smith, Penny is a baby, a second son, Judy's mole in the middle of her face and the control for the ship is a universal remote! Oh my the pain...the pain... *eyes and brain melt*
I can see why this didn't get picked up. Full of cliches, most of the acting, especially Judy Robinson, was terrible. And the desing of the J2 was crap. So much glass in a space ship? You're asking to die. Just another poor excuse of a remake. Can't touch Galactica.
Check out the straps on the actors, especially Will. I suppose these would've been painted out before the pilot was actually broadcast, had it sold. Or maybe the aliens were trying out some new luggage straps...
@TooleMan87 Good thing there was an unlimited supply of atmosphere on board, too. It blew out with hurricane force for 2 solid minutes and there was STILL plenty to breathe when they closed the door.
The invaders look like a cross between Sleestaks, Predators, & typical gray skin aliens.

It starts to get good here the vacuum sucking them out is cool and the chaos is good for a pilot there needs to be action so it makes an impression

Judy is an idiot. They can make her vulnerable without making her an idiot. The action is decent, but my god ... the relational stuff is awful.

The original was campy, often silly and had low production values. I don't think this version is much worse in those regards.

The alien make up/suits was a direct rip off of "First Men In The Moon" (1964) creatures from Ray Harryhausen.
Yes, the cables on Will would have been digitally erased if this had been picked up.
