Advantages: EVERYTHING

Voices of a Distant Star

Advantages: Stunning visuals, fantastic music, touching storyline.
Disadvantages: Character models slightly off, naive core values are easily criticised.

...The result of his labour, Voices of a Distant Star, is an incredibly focused, heartfelt tale of two lovers separated by time and space. Over 25 minutes, these character’s relationships are explored and stretched to breaking point, with no time for filler material. The futuristic world is shown from the insular couple’s point of view; an eerily lonely setting that appears to reflect each other’s world view. That world is never satisfactorily developed, ...
...My main problem with Voices of a Distant Star is that it flatters to deceive. While it avoids many of the superficial tropes of anime, it never transcends them, and revolving around naive concepts of love and loyalty that don’t seem suitable to the bland characters who are both un- and under-developed. My personal belief that such meaningful relationships can’t develop until a few years later could well be influencing this view, but I don’t think ...

Dont let the odd number put you off!!

Advantages: Odd number - Good film!!!
Disadvantages: The Enterprise is sacrificed

...I thought I would give Star Trek another review, so here goes. Please make yourself, comfortable, mobiles off and relax…. Star Trek III - The Search for Spock is one of those films that you see the characters in a different light. The film itself was released back in 1984. Leonard Nimoy who had been killed off at the end of the previous movie was hired to direct this one. This is what the 2 disc set contains…. Disc 1: Audio commentary by director ...

Space-based antics!

Advantages: Good special effects and serenity has a great plot.
Disadvantages: Doom is a bit of a let-down.

Serenity - A hardened space cowboy, psychic butt-kicking girl, flesh eating carnivorous humans living on the outskirts of space and a galactic conspiracy. Altogether a fantastic story, great special effects and an interesting take on the development of language in the future. Like Shakespeare in space! Sorry Will. Doom - Trouble in a secret research facility on a foreign planet. Only one way in and out and the genetically enhanced killers aren't ...
...explosions. Based on the hugely popular computer game Doom. Hardcore Doom fans may find the lack of first person views disappointing, but overall a good special effects and a mediocre script and plot. 2 for the price of 1, but at this price I'm not sure if I would have purchased them. Happilly added to my DVD collection at lower price, but not recommending purely because of the price. Good films though! ...
