Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

richard-vanbekkum The theme is great, but to many secrets among the crew is too much of a coincidence. The techniques used are great, but the script could really have some improvement. After a few episodes I hoped to receive some extra info about the mysteries, but unfortunately this did not happen. I've seen a lot of sf-series. In fact almost all, but watching these episodes was once and a while even tough. I assume the script writers tried to give this season a lot of suspense and I have to admit that this really worked out. The actors performed great, so this makes it not completely bad. Please feel free to watch this one season series a I am really curious what you think of it. reg, Zpm ( Zero Point Module

JRmf A grand tour of the solar system over 6 years in the really cool Anatares spaceship? As a SF junkie I couldn't help but be hooked, especially as the attractive mixed crew revealed some of their very human side.But I think the series bogged down with too many flashbacks, and too great an emphasis on the personal, especially hung-up, side. This is supposed to be SCIENCE-Fiction, after all, but many have derided the series, with some justification, as Sci-SOAP.It probably should have been set in 2020 rather than 2052 as the garb and technology appeared little changed from early 21st century - with some notable exceptions, like the ability to regrow thumbs.There were a lot of science aspects in the show I thought were accurate and didn't insult the informed viewers intelligence - the "science" in SF movies is so often a travesty - but real-time communication over millions of kilometers was not one of them.Light travels at 300,000 km/sec and is an inexplicable constant and limit in the universe, so even 30 million km away a one-way trip from ship to Earth would take 100 seconds. Along with "nano-gravity", they could have mumbled something about faster-than-light "worm-hole communication", maybe feasible..At least the series didn't turn into a horror-fest, the fate of so many movies in this genre.By the end of the 1st season they had only visted one destination, Venus. Maybe if they had visited Mars as well (not just in flashback), it might have provided more focus on mission and a faster main plot pace.There were so many flashbacks during Zoe's Venus walk, it was annoying, I started clockwatching. I can't quite condemn ABC for pulling the series. Too bad, a missed opportunity for some really good sci-fi...

bchodo I just don't understand. Programs like Defying Gravity, Firefly, and others, that highlight the highs and lows of the human condition get canceled, but shows that revel in the dysfunction of people get renewed for a decade. I would have loved to see how the story progresses. What happens to the crew as they make their grand tour of the solar system. Find out how Beta and Gamma interact and affect the crew. How Zoe was changed by her ordeal. How Arnel lost his leg. Why Jen can't see Beta or Gamma. Who (or what) is Nadia. And what will happen when all of "them" have been retrieved and are finally together.Maybe a pogrom against ignorant, shallow broadcast executives is necessary.

Ray P I happen to come across this show in all places at my local library! The premise for the show caught my interest and once I began watching it I wanted to get to the next episode to see what happened. Unfortunately, I've been left hanging after episode 13 because the show was CANCELLED!!! There have been some decent sci-fi drama shows that always get cut short because the normals of society just don't get it or have enough imagination to believe in the idea of what is out there!These days it's all about reality TV and watching people screw up or who are in a worse situation than yourself or on the off chance compete to win the prize!! But really, have our lives become so drab that we have to watch these other people succeed at something to make our lives more fulfilling? I guess I'm a dreamer and enjoy shows like this because they make me think about the possibilities. They make me forget about my daily woes and pull me into the story. That's what good TV shows do!It's too bad these networks have lost site of that and it explains a lot of why TV has gotten as absurd as it has in the past few years!!!It would be great if they got this show into a mini-series to finish it up.
