From the Arrow Video press release:
On September 2, the science fiction adventure Lost in Space makes its global 4K UHD debut. A surprise hit upon its 1998 release—famously topping Titanic at the box office for a brief moment—Lost in Space returns in a definitive 4K restoration from the original camera negative, approved by director Stephen Hopkins. The Limited Edition set is packed with hours of special features, collectible packaging, and newly commissioned extras.

The Earth is close to being uninhabitable in 2058. Mankind's only hope for survival is to send Professor John Robinson (William Hurt, Avengers: Infinity War), his wife Maureen (Mimi Rogers, Bosch), son Will (Jack Johnson, Love Affair), and daughters Judy (Heather Graham, Boogie Nights) and Penny (Lacey Chabert, Black Christmas), along with pilot Major Don West (Matt LeBlanc, Friends), to the planet Alpha Prime to create a transporter gate. This device will allow Earthlings to flee to a new world. There are people who don’t want the Robinsons’ mission to succeed, including the treacherous Dr. Smith (Gary Oldman, The Dark Knight). The family’s physician sneaks onto Jupiter II to sabotage The Robot (Dick Tufeld, the voice of The Robot from the TV series). The mechanical mayhem leads to the spaceship becoming lost in space. Can the Robinsons regain their bearings and reach Alpha Prime? The movie features cameos by Mark Goddard, June Lockhart, Marta Kristen, and Angela Cartwright from the original TV series.

Special features include archive audio commentaries; newly filmed interviews; a brand new video essay; deleted scenes; archival featurettes; a Q&A with the original cast of the TV series; bloopers; an Illustrated collector’s booklet; articles from American Cinematographer; and an excerpt from the original production notes.

I remember when this was released on DVD--a lot of stores used the launch sequence of the spaceship as demo material. I'm curious to see how well it holds up.

I had totally forgotten about this - not sure if I saw it or not, tbh. My first thought was that this was the recent Netflix TV series version. I started that but didn't get very far and what I read later didn't make it seem all that interesting to me. But I'm curious about how the movie stands up in retrospect - it doesn't have great reviews.

I watched the TV show in syndication as a kid, so maybe too many people are comparing it to that. I'm going to give it a go and see how it holds up

That was my experience with the original show, as well.  It was easy to relate to Will and what kid didn't want to have their very own Robot to hang around with?

The changes from those old memories to the movie were too stark for me, so I'm one of those people that just couldn't judge it as its own thing.  I'll be looking forward to your review to see how it looks more that 25 years later.

All I remember is the tv show too. Didn’t even know there was a movie

I think it was pretty forgettable, but I forgot the cast - interesting casting.

That's what intrigues me as well.

I'd rather watch Heather Graham in Boogie Nights - which I heard is coming in 4K also this year.
