CommentsXp Best movie ever!
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
joshman-78403 I just watched this show today, and I watched all of the episodes in a row! I couldn't pull myself away from it! It was amazing! The first great sci-fI show I've seen in a while. Please renew this show for season 2! Add new charcacters, and bring back a few of the old ones. It will be awesome. And with the rise of SCP Containment Breach fans, this show will become an instant hit. (Scp is a fictional organization that captures and contains anomalous objects. It has its own wiki with over 3,000 anomalous objects.) The objects in this show are just like SCP objects, which is awesome! So please bring this show back! Thanks for reading! Great show!
A_Different_Drummer Once again I apologize to the reader and to the IMDb people for trying to give a rating higher than 10, but this is some of the finest television efforts ever. Before doing this review, I reviewed several lists of "excellent" mini series. An incredibly high percentage were period pieces, drenched in pompous accents; or simply drenched in pompous accents with no special time frame or period. In other words, to do a mini-series based on a sci-fi theme AND DO IT RIGHT without relying on aliens, ghosts, ghouls, robots or some other monster is an almost impossible feat and this crew (which included revolving directors and writers) nailed it out of the box. Other reviewers have covered the plot, or at least tried to, because this one has so many twists and turns that it makes the Matrix look like it should be introduced by Kermit. Let me say that I originally missed the first episode but caught the rest in proper sequence. I was so gob-smacked by what I saw that I waited until our our local station reran the entire series in the summer, and watched the whole thing again, beginning to end, and enjoyed it even more. Acting first-rate. Especially nice seeing Julianna Margulies shortly after she disappeared from a prominent medical series. Kevin Pollak steals all his scenes, normally a comic, he plays a baddie and does a great job. Early Elle Fanning makes this a treat for film buffs. Look, this is not my usual review style, but if there was a 20 rating available I would give this the higher number. There are still bits of the story that haunt me and I would happily see it a third or fourth time.
Bill Atkin Here in the UK we're a little behind you Americans - about 7 years behind by the look of it! A few weeks ago I was idly flicking between channels, and accidentally happened upon episode 1 of The Lost Room (on a channel called 'Pick TV'). The program reeled me in instantly! It seemed to be a direct descendant of all those great American Sci-Fi series from the 1950s and 1960s - the ones which have an ordinary decent guy pitted against extraordinary events.I had to wait an entire week for episode 2, and I'd completely forgotten what a good feeling it is to look forward to the next instalment of an ongoing series! After the final episode, I was so blown away by the quality of The Lost Room that I emailed the guy who wrote it (Christopher Leone); partly to thank him, but also to find out when the second series would be aired in the UK. Chris very kindly replied saying that it hadn't been ordered to series.WHAT!? It doesn't take a pan-dimensional genius to figure out that The Lost Room has created the perfect framework for a long-running TV series - there are so many story possibilities. It's been AGES since there's been any TV Sci-Fi of this calibre, and it would be a crying shame if this idea wasn't allowed to progress.I don't know what the world is coming to sometimes. I really don't.
copperncherrio There are a bunch of objects that belong in the motel room. Each of them give you a power. There are different groups of people that have different beliefs about the room, whether they are the remains of God or just to be used by God. The reasoning behind these objects are unclear, and they don't go really too deep into the whole God thing. But the thing that brings all these Motel room together is key.And everything works under a certain line of rules. The mystery and the epic evolves around these objects. It's impressive that they made a mini-series that just involve simple objects and made them so interesting. The story centers around a single man who lost his daughter in the room. Like us he is discovering the history behind the objects like we are.Overall, this is a great epic that is intriguing and well written. I strongly suggest this show for those who love adventures and discovery.
