Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): During the escape scene on the Prodeus, Major West converts his pistol into a rifle with a series of add-ons. However, right before they boarded the Prodeus (and Will was demonstrating how he had taken control of the robot), a rifle is visible in the armory that John gets a pistol from. Why wouldn't West take a rifle in the first place?

Actually, I was quite surprised at how much fun I thought this movie was. Hardly perfect by any measure and, sure, there were some elements that were intrusive, but I found it to be quite faithful to the TV show - it used plots and elements from the early episodes. Even with the newer designs, they incorporated older aspects - the planet REALLY looked like a better version of one of their old sets.
Furthermore, Oldman managed to peg Dr. Smith perfectly, taking in all the old camp elements and putting them to very good use - even using some old catch phrases in different ways.
As diversionary, light sci-fi adventure goes, I thought this was great and I'm usually very picky about this kind of thing. It was fun and a pretty good kids' movie.
The only thing really missing was Billy Mumy.
