I'm in a distant part of the universe...

Advantages: The acting, the writing, the visual effects. It's the best sci-fi show ever made.
Disadvantages: For this season there were about two episodes that weren't that good.

...to the first season of Farscape where it all started and just do a short review on the box set. Farscape was one of my favorite shows up until it got cancelled by the Sci-Fi Channel and I couldn't wait for the DVD's to come out, though instead of buying the five individual box sets I waited for the the whole set so I could watch all the episodes together in one go. I bought the Farscape: Season one limited edition set from amazon for £39.99 when ...
...Amazon, so, if your into Farscape or even if you just want to get into one of the best Sci-fi shows ever created then you're getting a fantastic deal. As the mini-series will be airing on the BBC after it's broadcast in the U.S it is most definitely worth you watching this season and the others first so that you can understand the characters and the story so far. I know most Farscape fans will be watching all their season box sets as a build up to ...

Who needs Guantanamo Bay. Check this out Obama!

Advantages: Interesting sci-fi
Disadvantages: Perhaps the acting

...quite enjoyed ‘Event Horizon’. The Cube trilogy, like the above a more intriguing angle on the topic, is something that I have been aware of for a while but have yet to see any for rent, only Blockbusters policy of buying old DVDs from customers finally uncovering one. I think mobile phones and bad acting have destroyed the notion of ever seeing a decent horror movie era again-the internet providing far worse for people who really want to be shocked-and ...
...best way forward. Cube is not the most innovative and intelligent film in the genre but its certainly unique and leaning that way. CAST Nicole de Boer ...

Star Trek Movies Collection

Advantages: Every Star Trek Movie, in one Handy Box
Disadvantages: There aren't enough hours in a day!

If you love Star Trek, these are definitely for you! This is every movie ever made, okay thats only ten, but still thats impressive. The packaging is brilliant, it is a box within a box, with two Holders within that, which spread out and hold five movies. There are five original movies, and five of the next generation movies. In total they make 1101 minutes (I make that about 18 hours 30 mins) of pure star Trek excellence. The ratings of the movies ...
...you havent seen them. STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE Produced 1979, Directed by Robert Wise This is the first movie. Star Trek was going down hill, and was switched off air, so to get back in the swing, they launched this movie, which all of a sudden created an explosion of Star Trek fans, which was good for us, as it also encouraged them to make more movies! The only disappointing thing about it, is there is no special features or anything, you ...

Apokalupsis Eschaton Terminus Evangelion

Advantages: Powerful saga conclusion of tremendous power
Disadvantages: Very complex and WILL confuse you

...written a review of the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series where I have touched upon all the main points of the show, therefore I won't be going into lengthy explanations upon the Evangelion universe or its characters here, as that would in essence require a re-write of that previous review. This review will rightfully concentrate on The End of Evangelion. For those with inclination (just as a reference), here is the series review to be found: http://dvd.ciao.co.uk/NeonGenesisEvangelionPerfectCollectionAnimatedSubtitledAndDubbedBoxSetEightDiscsReview5529149 ...
...can taunt you afterwards with). Neon Genesis Evangelion was THE anime phenomenon of the 1990s and effectively was a turning point that re-vitalised interest in anime the world over, making¬ it a must see for any fan of the genre and must not be missed, even if you end up hating it. For additional information about Evangelion in general it is suggested to read the so-called "Red Cross Book" that was sold at the End of Evangelion showings, containing ...

Finding it's Feet, or the Alien Equivilant...

Advantages: Wonderful characters, some excellent stories and brilliant special features
Disadvantages: Compared to future seasons, some episodes fall a little short in quality

Opening upon the enigmatic Agent Scully, this series began as it ended - in true style. Granted, this first Season held all the mistakes of a true beginning - and when looked back upon reflects both the best and some of the worst of the series. But any show in it's beginnings will make mistakes as it finds it's feet - which the X Files indeed did. The pairing of the boyish Mulder and the sultry Scully was a stroke of genius - pure fun to watch. ...
...ever stronger, ever tighter, towards the great pairing we finally get to see in later seasons. This truly is the highlight of the show - although to be fair, a show about extraterrestrails, government conspiracies and things that go bump in the night always tickles a sense of fun in a viewer. That said, there are some let downs. Episodes such as "Genderbender" and "Roland" seem somewhat good in concept, but are execution a little too shabbily it ...
