Running David (Max Thieriot) loves little Millie (AnnaSophia Robb) with a love that couldn't die. He couldn't swim the raging river; but he leaned how to jump. What would you do if you found the ability to transport? Yep the first plan was to exacta all not nasty old paper in the local bank. Where do we go from here? For one thing it irks some people including fanatic "jumper hunter" Roland (Samuel L. Jackson.) We find new friends and enemies no known in the book. Then we have David's nagging question "Who/what is mommy?

Inspired by the jumper character in the youth novels of Steven Gould the movie tried to rely more on the real world locations than graphics. They did a good job on jumper graphics. The names have not been changed ... Read More:

This is a definite comeback for Doctor Who after the lamentable time of Martha Jones who to me was a very one dimensional character. Catherine Tate, who isn't constantly in awe of the Doctor, adds a lot of humour to proceedings.

The first episode, "Partners in Crime" was not scary as such but made you think and featured great turns by Sarah Lancashire as Miss Foster and Verona Joseph (Jess from Holby City) as nosy a journalist. The Adipose were also the cutest monster in existance.

Episode number two, "The Fires of Pompeii" is probably the weakest episode as the monsters were neither scary nor particularly thought provoking. However, when you return to this episode, having watched the whole of this series there are many ... Read More:

Silence in the Library and Forests of the Dead is an enthralling 2 parter concerned with the terrible vashda nerada. Shadows that have a life of their own and the mysterious River Song all work splendidly to make this a 'must not miss' volume. Midnight finishes it off very well, the Dr scared? Frightened by the potential violence humans are capable of in disturbing conditions, this gives a completely new angle to the Dr's personality. Ripping stuff.

I'm almost embarrassed that I thought it was good when I was a kid. Because I was too young to understand the bad points and let's face it, we don't have high demands of quality when we are young. I thought power rangers had good acting then... riiight moving swiftly on.

Anyway I watched it again a year or so ago when it was on TV and realised just how innocent I must have been.

Not only is this film crap, but its pro American theme that is used to carry the story really made me cringe... HARD.

Its like a serious version of Team America. I'm sure the point of this was to have Americans coming out of the "Movie Theatre" (Cinema to you and I) jumping up and down with their lassoes screaming YEAH!!! YEAH!!!. But what are the ... Read More:

This review is based on watching the "original theatrical version" (1977) which is on the Bonus Disc in this 2 Disc DVD.

There is stellar charm from C3PO, R2D2, Princess Leia, Skywalker, and Hans Solo. The pace of the film is also very good. The audience follows the story much through the eyes of narrators C3PO and R2D2. That, ladies and gentleman, is why this film is pretty innovative.

Star Wars doesn't really become truly galactic until Empire Strikes Back.

I admit first hearing about this i remember thinking that it was an X-Men Rip-off.

I'm So Glad that i finally realised that this isn't anything like X-Men.
First off - No Silly & Easily Noticable Costumes (with a huge H or the Helix Sign splattered on them) so they are ordinary people with extraordinary gifts.
Also Quite Possibly it has a Villain scarier than Darth Vader: Sylar.
the Villain remains as a thorn in the Heroes' Side throughout the First and Second Seasons and then takes his place as the lead Villian in Season 3.

I Must Say in closing that put these story's down into several 2-3 Hour Movies and these will be better than the three X-Men Films put together.

I'd Reccomend this for anyone who is a fan of Superhero ... Read More:

The dvd box set is is definatly what it says. Recommended to anyone who wants to know how the second season works out. basically like all Season 1 tv shows which are almost always character building seasons before the prelude to the plot later on.

Certain characters and races/organizations you might be aware of from those who watched TNG and not DS9 or VOY before are listed:

Bajorans, Cardassians, Ferengi, Federation
Miles O'Brien, Quark, Keiko O'Brien, Julian Bashir, Morn

Some people have tried to dismiss `Farscape' as an Australian `Blake's Seven' or `Buck Rogers.' But although it didn't have a unifying message like `Deep Space 9' or `Babylon 5,' it was still one of the most consistently excellent science fiction series ever made.

`SG-1' and `Deep Space 9' were almost ruined by too many bad episodes. Most other science fiction is groaning under the weight of clichés and `Black & White' morality. But amazingly, almost every episode of `Farscape' was exceptional from beginning to end.

The acting was incredible, the scripts were just as good, and the `Jim Henson' Company's special effects were always spectacular and integral to the story.

Even the `Comic Relief' (often the downfall of many science fiction programmes) ... Read More:
