This is a perfect example for this thread.

So much of that film officially cannot work:

The pacing frantic and weird.

It relies on familiarity with the source show while being stand-alone and released too late. (Well, maybe it realizes that “Swiss Family Robinson in space” isn’t rocket science.)

Various wild science fiction elements are slammed together, some very late with little foreshadowing.

But - the cast carries it off (particularly Garry Oldman and Lacey Chabert).

I have the hardest time explaining why anyone should watch it, but it’s solidly enterainting, and all the bits that shouldn’t work still somehow work.
