What a film!. Everyone should watch & understand what we on earth might end up like.

This Film offers good acting with limited effects, offering none stop chilling action story from start to end.

The story allows you to wounder what Soylent Green is about, & why are the rich always better off.

I read most of the reviews before renting from Amazon offering good inside to this film.

Should you watch too, then yes. I would like to see this film played out each year on T.V for all to see.

Rent it, be completely taken away to our Earth World! & the problems we might find in the future, if we dont stop & think first.

The film gives a good view if ... Read More:

It's a pity but this film doe's not live up to expectations.It is nothing but a montage of scenes tacked together without rhyme or reason,mixed with stupid camera tricks.Some of the directors of today seem to use this approach when they lack talent or fresh ideas.All in all, one of the top three worst movies of all time.I gave it one star only because the synopsis had potential(until they actually made the film).

These movies are decent enough, but altogether infuriating for long term fans of the X-men. The director didn't seem to have any understanding of the characters and certainly not the fans. This is a lowbrow interpretation of what has for a long time been one of the most interesting and well-thought out comic book series.

Whoever was in charge of the casting should never be allowed to work in movies again; the feral-like short guy Wolverine was changed into a good looking actor who towered over the rest of the cast. Singer completely missed the importance of the physical attributes of the wolverine character- he is meant to be a grunt, a short guy who you underestimate. The makers of these movies simply decided to get a distinctly average actor ... Read More:

This is one of those wooden Sc-Fi series that just grows on you and before you know it you can't wait to see the next episode.

It is filled with Hot Chicks who spend far to many hours in the gym (look out for Ming's daughter), which can also be said about actor who plays Flash Gordon instead of those all important acting lessons! In fact: you'll find yourself rooting for "Ming the Merciless" (not to be confused with the ex-Lib Dem Leader) played by John Ralston who clearly can act!

This series is closer to Lexx than the tiresomely serious Battlestar Glactica series, which I also own. Of course, its no where near the Stargate franchise, but if you can appreciate a less full on version of Lexx with bigger budget then you'll like this series. ... Read More:

Boring...boring...boring!!!The plot is all a bit obvious and you know what is coming all the way through. Also, the (animal) special effects did not gel very well.why do Hollywood scriptwriters think they can improve on good books when all the do is dumb them down into unbelievable trash. Alternate ending isn't much better where he does go off with them, it's a cheap imitation of resident evil which has been there, done that, & did it much better.
One to rent if you have no paintwork to oversee the drying of.

Season 2 picks up where season 1 left off, and boy this season does not dissapoint, full of action yet again.

season 2 starts off ok and gradually builds up and we get to see how vulcans can have an active imagination when Trip asks T'Pol for an interesting story in the captains private dining hall.

later on we get to see what implications come off the Destruction of J'Pem and the andorian connection and how the klingons want Captain Archer arrested or dead.

Yet again another wacky adventure to brace yourself for. recommended to buy season 2 in order to find out how season 3 starts and what the costs are when this new alien race attacks earth.

This is real telly history. The whole Doctor Who/Tardis concept still astounds me with the imagination that went into its creation. The original mass of sound effects that was the opening theme was changed years ago, but not for the better. The light distortions the bass sounds and the asthmatic Tardis sounds, with howling ,fading echo were all there and gave the show a totally original look and feel .
The'unearthly child, both versions are good to watch. Introducing a great cast headed by the wonderful William Hartnell. The stone age story was alright, although the arrival in the middle of nowhere by the Tardis at the beginning was visually stunning. As was the arrival in the petrified forest in the Dalek story, that was genuinley scary. There was ... Read More:

Regarding the language problem on these DVDs, I've found that my copies of seasons one and two play in German by default too. I think it's just a little annoyance we have to put up with.
