Χαμένοι στο διάστημα The Anti-Matter Man (1965–1968) watch online HD

Anti Matter Man is a wonderful, almost perfect episode. It stands out in an erratic season of episodes. Some of this season had good shows , but it also featured some truly low points ( A day at the zoo, Great vegetable rebellion, to name just 2!) But this episode is superior to any other 3rd season show, Sutton Roley directs assuredly and imaginatively from a script by K.C.Alison ( Robert Hamner and Barney Slater )It is a great pity Roley only did a handful of episodes- everyone he did was good if not great. The story may sound old hat- John Robinson is transported to the anti matter world inhabited by his evil alter-ego, leaving John there in the custody of Don West's alter-ego- the double takes John's place with his family.This episode really is tense, grim and features the comedy scenes in the right proportions and not too often. Several scenes stand out- the evil John virtually clubbing The Robot to pieces, again the evil John stalking Will Robinson through space on an eerie stairway of mist and light, the 2 John's fighting in space amongst a myriad of lights.Dr. Smith, Will and The Robot travel to the anti matter world to find the real John Robinson, their adventures along the way are fascinating.A prime example of the perfect Lost In Space. Check it out.

As stated in another review, if the camp element had been weeded out from this episode, it could have stood up with the first eight episodes (and episode 15) of "Lost in Space." As it is, it's on a par with "Follow the Leader", the first season finale which had many great moments and a few campy ones which detracted from its complete effectiveness.

"The Anti-Matter Man" is probably the very best use of recycling (a common occurrence) in this series: the stark, Stravinsky-like stock music was scored by Herman Stein, and was originally from episode two ("The Derelict"); the rubber-suited red alien was an entirely different character in a prior episode, but put to very good (if utilitarian) use here. There are some superb camera bits, too (kudos to the director, Sutton Roley). And stars Guy Williams and Mark Goddard show more range than expected as Prof. Robinson's and Major West's villainous counterparts.

The effects are OK, but quite atmospheric nonetheless.

The third and final season of "Lost in Space" appeared to be trying to set some kind of record for campiness. The first season was very serious, the second was fairly silly, but the third--well, it certainly stands apart from the other two with its high camp and ridiculous acting.

Still, one episode really stands out in the final season: "The Anti-Matter Man", a dark and imaginative tale that suggests that we all have exact opposites somewhere. Here, Prof. John Robinson (Guy Williams) is transported to an anti-matter world, while his sinister opposite takes his place with the family. Will (Billy Mumy) and Dr. Smith (Jonathan Harris) must travel to this strange world to save Dr. Robinson. There, they meet Robinson's, Major West's (Mark Goddard) and even the Robot's evil opposites before a climactic and exciting fight between the two Dr. Robinsons resolves the story.

Williams and Goddard probably give their best performances in the series, and Harris manages to keep his campy antics to a minimum. Even if you hate "LIS", you may really enjoy this dark, different, and well-acted episode.

Receiving top billing for all three years of the show's run didn't quite bode well for Guy Williams. Most of the episodes, from season two through three, focused on the Dr.Smith/Will/Robot trio, leaving the rest of the cast to have glorified "cameos". However, "The Anti-Matter Man" allowed both Williams and Mark Goddard (Don West) some choice scenes, playing their regular characters and the anti-matter world "opposites".

The episode also allowed for some intriguing set design, especially in the Dali-esquire-looking alternate universe. The installment made effective use of stock music from John Williams, much appropriate for several of the tense scenes.

Jonathan Harris's scene-stealing was kept at a minimum in the installment and that, by itself, makes this one a cut above others in the last year of Irwin Allen's classic.

Its a good episode of sci fi TV in general, and probably a great episode as compared to the rest of Lost in Space. Though the topic probably already seemed derivative by the time this aired (Star Trek had already aired similarly themed episodes) they still managed to deal with this in an interesting way with cool set design (when I think "Lost in Space" I always think of the "transdimensional walkway"). Though the acting in this episode is often praised, I find it still somewhat too simplistic. If the campiness had been toned down a bit (for instance, why is the robot expressing that he is afraid so often?) I think this would have turned a good sci fi episode into a great one. Though I never expect much scientific accuracy in these shows, I think having the dimensional gateway be just a door with fire surrounding it is a little silly, even for Lost In Space.

However, I still find it to be an iconic LIS episode, and in 40+ years, it still is enjoyable.

This is my first review of any Lost in Space episode despite having seen them all several times, including during their first run in the 60's. The outstanding quality of this episode inspires me to comment.

The true pity of the entire series is the fact that they could produce some of the finest sci-fi ever seen on TV, equal to Star Trek or outer Limits for imaginations and writing, but they decided to become a childish farce, ruined constantly by the antics of Jonathan Harris. I can't count how many episodes would have been very good television had Mr. Harris not been a part of the show, or at least, put on a leash, but for some reason, he was allowed to run amok, destroying everything good and decent in his path.

Oddly, Jonathan Harris was immensely proud of the character he created, Dr. Smith, even though Dr. Smith was one of the most despicable, disgusting, and obnoxiously annoying characters ever developed, even more so than every villain. There is nothing "lovable" about him and he is not a pitiable person, as so many have claimed. He is a soulless monster who repeatedly trades the lives of his fellow humans, (including Will whom he claims to love), in his never ending lust for power and riches. He is the type of person that would have been killed by "friendly fire" in another reality.

Anyway, this episode showcases all that is good with the show and I for one, feel a sense of loss at the potential that the show had if only they would have given it a chance.

John Robinson (Guy Williams) enters an anti-matter world.

I agree with the positive reviews this episode is getting here and I might add this is one of Sutton Roley's best and most memorable direction jobs ever! In case you don't his name, he directed everything from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, QM's The Fugitive, QM's The Invaders, The Man From UNCLE, etc. He has this habbit of getting the camera very close to actors and positioning it so you can see up their noses.

The stock music in this hour is very good and well placed with the drama of it all.

The only negative thing I have to say about The Anti-Matter Man is the very human way in which the Robot is portrayed here. His desperate comments like "Oh, I can't waste time explaining it to you" and "You MUST, you MUST (do this)". I am told if LIS got a 4th year the Robot would have become even more human! Help!

But all in all, a wonderful hour of LIS where Guy Williams and Mark Goddard prove that they can do a lot more than fiddle with controls at the Jupiter 2.
