Genesis is of course the story of how the Daleks were created. It shouldn't disappoint because although there are some silly ideas in it e.g., at war for 1,000 years the Thals have only just thought of launching a big missile at the Kaleds, it has been made with such energy and panache that you can't help but be entertained.
Naturally there is a bit of padding at 6 episodes long, but you will rarely find it dragging.
Uncle Tom is in commanding form, being ready to switch off Davros' life support (and Tom plays it like he means it) 1 minute, & debating philosophically the next. He tries to divert Davros from his destructive course but his voice tells us he doesn't think it's going to work. there is some lovely underplayed emotion ... Read More:

It seems like overkill. A five disc box set focused on a single film. Six different versions of the original film, plus an exhaustive array of extras - documentaries, commentaries, out-takes, interviews, concept art, screen tests. Surely only obsessives and the professionally interested could possibly want all this?

But this isn't like other dvd sets. No dull, half-baked `documentaries' that tell you nothing more than star A thinks director B is a great director, Director B thinks star A is a top chap, and everyone thinks the guy who deputy managed Computer Effects Team C did a super job. No commentaries by extras that appear on screen for all of ten seconds. What you get here is a magnificently put-together Blade Runner archive, an exhaustive ... Read More:

Brilliant series all round, the best Star Trek series of them all.

For anyone interested in replacing seasons 1-4 (of the old larger case sets) which had a problem with the design of the cases causing centre hole becoming damaged, I want to assure you, absolutely, that these slimcase sets are absolutely identical in disc structure and menu design. The only difference is the image on the disks which is no real problem.

For anyone wanting to buy DS( as a complete series - simply get them in this format. The price is amazing when compared to the large cased first releases, I wish I had known they were going to make these as I could have saved a fortune.

20 minutes of my life I will never get back. Thank the maker I didn't watch it all the way through. Don't get me wrong, it is a decent enough idea. It's just a pity that it's acted & directed in such a nauseating style. If you want Angels, watch The Prophecy instead.

Hollywood loves Dick, and that's a fact. Philip K. Dick, that is: whenever the powers that be require a sound sci-fi brain scratcher, they turn to the pages of special K. The man behind Total Recall, Minority Report and the more than slightly less impressive Paycheck, Phil is the go-to guy for short tales of paranoia, future dystopia and drug abuse, with A Scanner Darkly representing only his second full novel to be adapted into a movie (the first being "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" which resulted in the mighty Blade Runner). At the helm is another Dick, Richard Linklater, one of the slipperiest directors working today, a man who simply refuses to be pigeonholed, but who is as yet unproven in the sci-fi genre.

Finally, Dick gets a film worthy of his talent. Unlike Blade Runner, ... Read More:

If you haven't seen this yet then I suggest you watch it, as it is very good. Don't listen to the critics who have said this is crap because it isn't. And it doesn't matter if you haven't seen all the seasons of 'The X-Files', as it stands well as a movie on it's own. Obviously there are some elements that reflect back to the series but that's more of an addded bonus to the X-Files fans.

One of the main things I liked about this movie was the way the writers have decided to go more into Mulder and Scully's relationship which they didn't really bother with too much in the last film. I also liked the fact that it stayed very true to the tone of the TV show and is just as intense as a lot of the episodes were.

So whether your an X-Files fan or not this film is definitely worth checking ... Read More:

I think this Blu Ray Final Cut edition was a superb addition to my collection. This is certainly different enough to buy again if you have any of the other versions on DVD. The HD really added to the feel of the city, and as I had not watched it for a few years now, the new cut made it feel almost like a different movie. If you have not seen it before, highly recommended, and if you haven't seen it in years worth a revisit!
