Advantages: Good movie, good acting, good value, brilliant
Disadvantages: None

...produced by 20th Century Fox. The film has a very politic and deep theme running throughout the film telling you the viewer that the way forward is not with war or nuclear weapons but peace, co-operation and humanity. Robert Wise the Director (Star Trek The Motion Picture & Sound Of Music) was very careful in this respect and made sure that the picture kept this theme alive.... Made mostly on 20th Century Fox film studios with live shoots at the ...
...wasn't limitless, and just after the Second World War the funds weren't there. Most films of this era were made as cost effective as possible. The Story..... As most films of this era were of aliens coming to Earth to take over the world for themselves, this film was about bringing the human race to account for it's actions and to take responsibility for it's scientific progress before other races in Space did so for Earth...... Americans see ... Read review

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! ... Read review

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

This is one of the first sci-fi movies I ever saw when I was a kid and it got me well hooked. A spaceship lands in the park and an alien visitor tries to warn the humans of danger. But of course they don’t want to listen, only want to destroy. The giant robot that stands guard of the spaceship is one of my all time favourite moments from all the countless black and white sci-fi movies I have watched. This is one of the first films to portray beings ... Read review

Advantages: What a way to end this disc......
Disadvantages: The first two-parter is a little bit of a let-down both on aliens and plot...

Volume Two of Doctor Who's first re-imagined season opens up with The Doctor and Rose returning to earth after a supposed 12 hours have passed only for Rose to then discover that in actual fact 12 months have passed. Her mum thought something bad must have happened to her and Rose's boyfriend, Mickey, was allegedly taken into custody on suspicion of bumping her off!!! So begins the first two-parter of the series, entitled ALIENS OF LONDON, with Rose ...
...for this show, only The Doctor can save the day but this time around, he may need a little help from an unexpected source...... This episode and it's follow-up, WORLD WAR THREE, although not weak, are far from the strongest of stories this season. The Slitheen too are hardly scary and, with their comedic fart noises that they make when disguised as human, seem almost to be played just for laughs. They wouldn't look out of place in a kids show and ... Read review

Advantages: Three of the best episodes so far on one disc can't be bad
Disadvantages: A bit of a weak story to start them all off

...new, all singing and dancing Doctor Who and is probably the best of the collections so far in terms of episode content. Picking up where we left off with Adam Mitchell now invited onboard The Tardis, (they picked him up from Van Statten's doomed museum of space oddities-remember?) Rose and The Doctor travel far forward in the future in THE LONG GAME, easily the weakest episode on the disc, and arrive on Sattelite 5 where the media is all-consuming ...
...often proved tricky for The Doctor back in the past and now is no exception as Adam feels slightly jealous of Rose's affections for The Doctor and almost left out of the little in-jokes that they share between them. He also suffers from culture-shock from being flung into a strange situation and it is good to see an episode where it is made abundantly clear that travelling through time and space really isn't to everyone's tastes!! Adam goes off on ... Read review
