TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

I_saw_it_happen There comes a point, when you've watched all the glitzy, fancy sci-fi series that have come out in the last decade, and miss that sense of discovering an awesome new series with some good sci-fi elements that you start turning backwards, watching shows from previous decades, which begin to make more and more unrealistic projections of the next 20 yrs...But then there's this show, this horribly-titled, 1-season show, with a pilot that begins on the wrong foot (sickly children in need of help. Awwwwwwwwww....) but... about three or four episodes in, you're hooked.Because it's a damned good show. It relies a bit heavily on the whole 'Gaia Earth' theory, and it's a bit corny to hear characters circumventing the usual technobabble of sci-fi by insisting all oddness on the planet can be explained through 'the planet's strong metaphysical plane' (I mean, what the ****?)... But having just finished watching all of 'Deep Space Nine', I can definitely say that Earth 2's cheese quotia is far below that of anything 'Star Trek'. I'd even put it on par with some of the old Stargate SG-1.Though there are weak episodes (mostly in the beginning). The good news is that a few of the characters who begin out the show extremely annoying eventually become quite likable, and the way in which story arcs develop is commendably good.Beware when watching this show that you see the last few episodes in the right order. The very last episode is called 'All About Eve', even though it's often packaged earlier in the series. If you see this episode before others, you'll ruin the mildly cliff-hangery (and unresolved) ending for yourself.

alienworlds I watched about 10 episodes of this and I thought it had moments but not enough of them to justify continuing it as a series. Some of the cast chemistry was a bit iffy and the plots often relied on the same theme of 'there are people here before we came' type of thing, not to mention alien lizard men that were basically just kind of goofy. I thought the alien race of 'Terians' had potential but they too turned into sort of comic figures somehow. Obviously made for adolescent weekend viewing, it perhaps is worse than the show Wonder Woman which was probably one of the worst weekend shows for adolescents that ever aired on TV in North America. I suppose I could see how someone in a place like Pakistan might like it...but I think that to most people in North America it fails to add anything substantial to the hallowed genre of SF.

Vincent Bartning I remember when this series was on the air (or on cable if you had that) back in 1994. I really liked it, but the network (one reviewer claims NBC) didn't show it consistently I remember. It's as if they wanted it to fail, and I would constantly look for new episodes to no avail.Seeing all the episodes now on Netflix makes me wonder what was going on in the heads of network executives to cancel such a promising show besides basically hiding the series after the movie-length first episode. I'll echo others in the sentimentality of being grateful to finally see the series in its entirety, but it's another stupid marketing decision along the lines of canceling Star Trek back in '68--or worse! It was also very heart wrenching to note the all-too-soon, real-life passing of one of the youngest and most vibrant characters in 2006, and hindsight shows the relationship she had with her on-screen Earth 2 father carried over into the real world--also demonstrating the prescience of the actors in understanding the quality of the series unlike their network-executive counterparts.I highly recommend this entertaining series, excellent, fun to watch, and meaningful to this day. Again, it was a great series, wrongfully canceled, and many reviews have the same sentiment.

daveinfinland This was an intelligent sci-fi series that tickled with your imagination and the "what if" question at the back of your mind.Why did they cancel this show? It had the making of a great show, a great future.It could have been the "lost" of the 90s. Science fiction filled with mysterious events. Unknown actors, some of which broke into mainstream TV/movies - Clancy Brown, Rebecca GayheartGreat acting, great plots, great scenery, no cash.I'm actually quite surprised that another TV network didn't snap this show up and continue doing it.So why not??
