Movie Reviews of The Lost Room
Movie Review: An Awesome Sci-Fi Series
Summary: 5 Stars
The Lost Room was a miniseries that aired in December of '06. The series consisted of six 1-Hour episodes, but airs as three 2-Hour episodes (The Key and The Clock, The Comb and the Box, and The Eye and the Prime Object). The show itself is about a mysterious room that because of a mysterious even has disappeared from the world , born inside the room itself some 100 objects have been created each with their own unique power, some of the powers are pretty lame and some of the powers are extremely dangerous.
Unfortunately, for one cop (Detective Joe Miller), The Lost Room takes his greatest treasure, his young daughter. After finding The Key, an object that has the ability to open any door and take the user to wherever they want (as long as there is a door). After an encounter with the man in possession of The Pen, Joe Miller's daughter ends up in the room and is lost to Joe. Now, Joe must make alliances to try to find the right objects that he needs to bring his daughter back.
Now, I will give a quick preview of the "3" episodes and will list the objects that are seen within them.
The Key and The Clock - Detective Joe Miller is investigating a crime scene in which two men have been burned to death. After the sole survivor of the shop is fatally wounded, he passes the mysterious Key onto Joe Miller who quickly discovers the power that the key possesses. The man who murdered the two men kidnaps Joe's daughter and demands that Joe trade the Key for his daughter, but after the deal goes bad, Joe's daughter ends up lost in the room. But this isn't the only trouble in Joe's life, as his daughter disappears, as Joe is going through a divorce & custody battle his daughter disappears and on top of all that Joe is then blamed for the murder of his partner. Now, Joe must evade capture while he searches for the objects to bring his daughter back.
In this episode we are introduced to: The Motel Key, The Bus Ticket, The Pen, The Clock, The Nail File, The Pencil, The Watch, and the Radio.
The Comb and The Box - As Joe runs from the police, he joins up with a member of a mysterious group known as The Legion who collects the objects from the room. As the two travel from place to place, learning about the objects and their mysterious power, the real murder of Joe's partner because to hunt for an object that will gain him membership into another mysterious group known as The Order of the Reunification who believe that reuniting the objects will allow them to speak to God.
In this episode we are introduced to: The Deck of Cards, The Comb, The Overcoat, and The Clockbox.
The Eye and The Prime Object - Joe now believes that he knowns of the object that will bring his daughter back to him, The Prime Object. Now Joe is partnered up with Karl Kreutzfeld as the two search for a vault that contains several valuable items that were gathered up by the first group to collect the objects known as The Collectors. However, Joe's new "partner" has pans of his own as he searches for The Glass Eye, the object that can destroy or rebuild flesh. But, alliances must be broken as Joe doesn't seem to agree with Kreutzfeld's plans. As Kreutzfeld runs off to complete his own plans, Joe searches for the Prime Obeject who is also known as The Occupant, the man who was in Room 10 before and during the events that caused it to disappear and to create the objects.
In this episode, we are introduced to: The Quarter, The Scissors, The Flask, The Cufflink, The Glass Eye, The Portrait, and The Prime Object (there are several other objects viewed in the vault, but most are just quick glances).
I can't give away any more details without giving away some of the most important parts of the storyline, but trust me, the ending will probably upset most of you, at least anyone who dislikes "open endings". However, the minds behind the show are hoping to tie up all of the loose ends in the show in a continuation somewhere down the road.
As for the show, itself, it's awesome, the objects, the actors, the story, it's all great. This has to be one of the best original creations to come out of SciFi in a very long time. The story is something that is in a genre all its own (at least it's not oversized insects, deadly flocks of birds, and earthquakes that'll destroy the world). This is a great mini-series, nearly 5 hours (would be 6 hours if it had all the commercials and such with each episode) and for only $15 it's a steal for such a great series.
