Perhaps less “homage” than inspiration, the little loved and less remembered big screen revival of Lost in Space from the ‘90s seems to inform the plot of Lightyear in a pretty significant way. In the reimagining of the classic 1960s sci-fi TV series, the Robinson family is again lost in space when they get marooned on a strange planet. Unlike the TV show, however, things take an extremely dark turn when they discover there is a bubble on this planet that has distorted time (the mechanics are murky). Additionally, Tim Peake appears in an uncredited cameo as a worker at the mission control center. [7] Production [ edit ] Development [ edit ] Director Angus MacLane At the Terillium Mine, Sox, Buzz, and the rest of the Junior Patrol, arrive at the facility and enter a facility within the mine and just as they enter, four AI devices activate and trap Sox and his allies in capture cones, leaving them unable to escape; after Darby and Izzy are caught in the cone where Mo was trapped, Sox ends up getting trapped as well. Buzz asks Sox if there is a possible way to disarm the traps, but Sox is unable reach the controls that can help him deactivate the traps, leading the four to slam their cone into the control after Buzz keeps the door open, although they are unable to disarm the traps; Buzz and his allies (who are all in the same cone) managed to slam the control very hard while the door is still open, albeit pressure they put causes a part of the platform carrying part of the building to collapse. Just as the part of the building collapses, Buzz tosses Sox onto Izzy's hand to help protect him just as Buzz manages to retrieve the coil and escape the collapsing part of the building.
