I love this movie so much

Purely Joyful Movie!

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Started watching cause of the good reviews. My opinion, my personal opinion: the series is nonsense. Complete nonsense in script and acting.Objects: A "magic comb" that stops time, a "magic clock" - woo spooky... I should mention that the objects are absolutely non-interesting that can make you go: "wow how clever is that!"Acting: Not only the scenario is nonsense, but also seems like the actors don't pay any attention to acting: neither surprised of all the magic happening around (which may be surprising for the policeman), nor interested in everything around. The characters are not written fully, you do not understand where they come from and where is their motivation in finding "objects".Script: I read in someone's review already that it is so "high school", the love line is obvious from the first glance, basically everything is obvious. Even the parent-children line that is supposed to hook you up and make you feel something strong, just doesn't do it. It is not believable (because of the actors or fine written characters - I don't know).It is that kind of series that are shown on cable at night. Emmy nominee - don't know how they got there...

SyFy is known for their Mini-Series. Many of the programs on this channel are throwaway B-Movie junk, but occasionally the network airs something great: Tin Man, Alice, Taken. The Lost Room belongs with those great mini-series as the best SyFy has offered and the best Mini-Series ever. The story revolves around a father, Joe Miller played by Parenthood and Six Feet Under star Peter Krause, looking for his "lost" daughter, Anna played by Elle Fanning of Super 8 and We Bought a Zoo. Actually, Joe knows exactly where Anna is, but cannot get to her because she is lost in some other dimension...long story, and I won't spoil it. The production itself is great: acting, direction, and special effects are top notch. Dennis Christopher and Kevin Pollack have standout performances, but everyone plays their roles well. The only knock against the series is that it leaves a lot of questions unanswered. However, a good film is supposed to resonate with viewers. This film certainly sparked conversation, and always in a good way. I watched the show with a room full of high schoolers, and it kept them hooked for the three days we watched it. The greatest quality about the series is its creativity and ingenuity. Without going into too much detail, the characters are forced to work together in order to gather the "objects". Each object has its own special power - some better than others. The watch can hard boil and egg, but the key can take you to any room, anywhere in the world. Some objects, when combined, have more interesting powers. All of this makes for a highly engaging show that spans six 45 minute episodes. I do recommend not to watch them all back to back. The conversations that we had in between episodes were as much fun as watching them. If you are looking for an intelligent show or are sick of the droll programming on cable, find The Lost Room.

NO SPOILERS. Although this mini series is 100 percent awesome. There is some confusion, or aggravation about the ending. The story fleshes out main themes of the bible. First, the 'object' if human means immortality - the son of God. If one tries to become immortal by using the objects, they are not. The objects merely give the illusion of immortality - illusion/deceit is work of the devil.Thus the materialism vs honourableness theme appears. Second, the ambiguity of the room requires faith. The how and why mirror the how and why of the existence of human beings, and the search for something that may or may not exist.Third, the experiments on room 9. They r trying to become god and therefore are banished to hell. ie. the woman ghost in agony.Fourth, the occupant. This is the hardest one of all to understand and took me a while. He was Jesus. He suffered for our sins. He had all his possessions taken away. He wore only white and was there both times when the experiment on door 9 took place, as divine intervention. As the anointed one. which is why he had his past erased. because he is meant to do Gods work...not to have a family life. Five, the reason the room resets is because it is a place of purity, it is the garden of Adam and Eve, why do you think there is a bed in the room??????

You may recognize (if you are an ancient computer nerd like me - or you like computer game trivia) the first line of one of the first computer text "adventure" games (technically called "Colossal Cave Adventure" http://jerz.setonhill.edu/if/canon/Adventure.htm ). I found this mini-series a bit like one of those games, where the protagonist Joe Miller discovers the "magical" properties of objects and novel ways to use them partly by trial and error (getting slammed from the sky in Gallup NM a bunch of times) or by his own cleverness. I appreciated the fact that this series was more cerebral than a lot of the shoot-em-up scifi genre ("space opera" based).Unlike some other reviews I thought this series was perfectly written, executed, and wrapped-up - with Joe's story basically finished, but the "door left open" (literally) for future story-lines.Another great thing about this series concept, like Stargate or others, is that the premise allows for the story to wander into many wild new environs and circumstances since the objects are so varied in type and usage. So writing opportunities for this series are endless - and I hope we have not seen the end.I might have liked to see more of the various "Cabals" and their philosophies and rituals explored - as that seems to mostly have occurred in the blog-o-sphere.SciFy - bring back "The Lost Room" !!
