20 years ago, the show LOST first aired and changed television forever. An Emmy-winning #1 network show, LOST introduced audiences to serialized science fiction storytelling and paved the way for the higher budget and shorter seasons of today's television. From the director of The Last Blockbuster, the documentary Getting LOST is the definitive retrospective on the show and its lasting impact on the cast, crew and fan community. It explores life-changing personal stories touched by LOST, including incredible friendships, heartwarming love stories and touching tales of heartache and loss. Through all new interviews with cast and crew of the show, the documentary highlights the influence the show had on not only the careers of some of the biggest names in Hollywood but also the local people of Hawaii who worked on the show during its six years of filming on Oahu.

Michael S I thought this was a fitting tribute to Lost. While it didn't have Matthew Fox (they tried their best), they still managed to get JJ Abrams, Lindelof, and Cuse, the three people who really made the show happen in the way it did. There were many touching moments: Josh Holloway expressing gratitude for being allowed to use his natural accent in the show (anyone from the south will tell you how meaningful that would be to a human being), Lily talking being so poor she drove around with a duct-taped window on her vehicle before landing the role (showcasing that many actors and actresses remember what being poor is like even after their success), and so many more. If you loved Lost, you'll love this documentary. Don't listen to people picking it apart and saying it has no logical sequence. Of course it doesn't, this is Lost we're talking about. Just seeing the actors again and hearing people discussing it was a treat. So many crowdfunded projects don't get done at all or the people who ask for money go low budget and try to pocket as much money as possible. I think everyone got their money's worth out of this one. And while the premiere was too much - $5-$10 would have brought more people in - that doesn't detract from the fact that they gave fans what they wanted and didn't skimp. Some of these actors, like Michael Emerson, made it really big after Lost. Just to pay some of them would have cost a lot of their budget. Very pleased with this documentary. It's a must for any Lost fan who wants to recapture some of the magic of the show's original airing over 20 years ago. PS As for Matthew Fox: It's his loss. This wasn't a documentary to move a career forward or to make serious money or to resurrect interest in the show. It would have been a way for you to say "thank you" to the fans who made it possible for you to decide "I'll never do another TV series again." And for them to thank you, too. And however much it might irk him, it's the crowning achievement of his career. But for Lost, the name Matthew Fox wouldn't ring any bells in 2024 (Party of Five disappeared from the national pop culture discussion 15 years ago). So it's a shame he deprived fans of even a few sentences about the show that made him immortal. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Jason Y Loved every moment of this documentary. So much love was clearly put into it. It's a must see for any fan of LOST. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
