sclafunk First of all, the lead, Peter Krause is great. I'm a huge "Six Feet Under" fan, but that's neither here nor there. Julianna Margulies, who I would never expect to see in something this esoteric and weird, it's also very good as the supporting actress. They simply need more tv like this, even tho it's a decade plus old at the time of this review, it still holds up. If you enjoy solid sci fi parallel reality/dimension world building and mind bending metaphysical mystery, this is definitely for you. I know that is not everyone's cup of tea, however if it is this is MUST SEE for any science fiction fan whether you're more on the casual side or the deeper viewer. This is truly one of the best mini series I've ever watched. There's not much else to say and it's pointless to talk about the plot, honestly I would recommend going in knowing as absolute little as humanly possible. I was fortunate enough to do that and I was absolutely enthralled from beginning to end. Just bring an open mind and prepare to have it blown. Everything from the pacing(which I find to be a hugely under rated film/tv attribute, especially in a mini series) to the cinematography is damn near impeccable. My only complaint about this show is that there wasn't a sequel! 10/10 would watch again.....and again and again and again. This makes me wanna see Peter Krause docmore sci fi!! Now having said all that, realize that this is not The Godfather, and makes no attempt to be anything more than what it is. Don't go in looking to pick it apart from a siskel and ebert kinda romp. Anything can be dissected that way, and it kinda defeats the purpose of losing ourselves in film.

Mark Rogers When I first started watching The Lost Room I really didn't think I would like it, but after the first half an hour I was hooked and couldn't stop watching it. I think overall everything was really good but there were some things that I did not like about the miniseries.For the people they picked for the actors and actresses I think they did a good job. To me all the actors and actresses were really good and they all really played out their character. Especially Joe Miller (Peter Krause) when his daughter disappeared through Room 10 he was going to do anything and everything to get his little girl back. Also I really liked how they added a couple characters, Wally Jabrowski (Peter Jacobson) and Harold Stritzke (Ewen Bremner) in the show to give the audience a good laugh. All the characters in this show really brought out the miniseries though.I was happy with the story but there were some things that I did not like. I really liked where they went with it everything just fitted together. One thing that I really didn't like was the ending. They could have gone on so much longer with the miniseries, it was a cliffhanger. They could have gone and explained what all the objects do or find out what they did. That was one thing that I was disappointed about is that we don't know what all the objects do. Only the choice few that was important to get Joe Miller's daughter back. Also at the end when Joe finally did get his daughter out of Room 10 they could have went and had Anna Miller (Elle Fanning) explain where she actually went and all the things she seen. Also whatever happened to Dr. Ruber (Dennis Christopher) no one knows. Did he continue searching for the objects with The Order or did he just stop? Another thing that really got me was at the end when Joe put the Hotel Room 10 Key in the room, shut the door, and then opened it again it was gone, but right before the series ended it showed the room key still laying on the floor.Overall though I really loved this miniseries, everything was amazing it all fit together and it just wasn't thrown together it was really planned out. I would really love to see this show come back and continue with a series.

Cody Lloyd The Lost Room is sci-fi thriller that manages to entertain and stay fresh throughout the entire series. Peter Krause plays a very believable character who I could not help but feel sorry for as he desperately tries to find his lost daughter. The plot of the miniseries managed to stay fresh I felt compelled to finish watching even though I felt that the end result of the series was predictable. However, I did enjoy how the antagonist of the show kept changing as the show developed its characters and plot. Kevin Pollak played a very interesting antihero who I also pitied for the sad circumstances that he found himself in, but I did not agree with or like the way he chose to go about solving his problem. Which is why by the end of the series I did not care what happened to him or what would become of his son. Dennis Christopher also took a turn at playing the villain in this series. I enjoyed watching this character at first but I felt as the show progressed that he became unnecessary to the plot of the show and I found the thought of him being a prophet ridiculous and unneeded. Another notion of this show that I felt was unneeded was the love interest between Peter Krause's character (Joe Miller) and Julianna Margulies' character (Jennifer Bloom). I enjoyed watching their characters relationship as it developed on screen but I felt that it should not have taken the romantic turn that it did and instead should of stayed with a partnership that both characters pulled off so well. I also felt the show did not use all of the tools they had at hand with such a large amount of mysterious objects and literally an unlimited amount of creativity most of the objects were dull and predictable. I will mention the glass eye and the pen that were interesting and fresh but as far as the rest go I was not very surprised or interested. Overall, I did enjoy watching the show but I felt that it fell short of what how good it could have possibly been.

whodat1-965-296986 I enjoyed this mini series very much. Originally, I was going to watch part one of three yesterday and eventually get around to the next two parts, but this series sucked me in like a black hole. I ended up watching all 3 parts back to back.The curious thing is that when it comes to video, my wife and I usually like very different things. In this case she got just as sucked into it as I did, and enjoyed it about as much.The writing and acting are very well done and while there are a few small continuity errors (every film has them), they are minor and easily forgiven. What I really enjoyed was the storyline and plot.Ah the plot... I read 77 reviews that were given before mine and some of the reviews complained about the plot. How it was incomplete and the story was far from finished. I don't think that some of the viewers know what the plot or story is.The story is not about the Event or the Occupant or even despite the name of the series, the Lost Room. The story is about Joe Miller's involvement with the previous items in the search for his daughter. I don't think the series ever intended to explain even a majority of the Who, What, Where, When and HOW of the Room. The story is about one man's interaction with it.One review I read earlier said that it was like watching the second LOTR movie without seeing the third. I wonder if the reviewer has ever read LOTR? Bilbo makes a comment that his story is one little piece of the big story which just goes on and on. I don't think this was meant to be a story of THE ROOM (like LOTR was the story of THE RING), this was more like Bilbo's story in The Hobbit. His interaction with events far beyond his comprehension.With that in mind, I think the writers did an excellent job. But the true test is that you enjoy watching this show. That's it in a nutshell. It Is Entertaining.So go ahead, rent it or download it or buy it. Then enjoy it.
