Parallel Universes! enough said

Advantages: Every Changing Locations
Disadvantages: Bit cheesy at times

Sliders was a great concept where a student scientist creates a sliding device where he can teleport to various parallel universes where its the same year but where certain events being different the outcomes in that world reflect that. I enjoy seeing where the gang end up next, and getting John Rhys-Davies to play as proffesor Arturo was just ingenius. You can't help but think your watching Lord of the Rings by mistake. The episodes get better ...
...any good tv series. Sliders isn't great with modern days special effects, but in its day it was right up there with effects and i still think its a great watch and will always be remembered as a classic. There are 6 discs which contain a total of 22 episdoes. There are also Bonus features such as the making of sliders, and a photo Gallery Audio commentary from the creaters is also a bonus option This film would suit people who like adventures ...

Review of Sliders - Series 1 And 2 (DVD)

Truncated but still worthwhile

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...writers strike does not disappoint. Battlestar Galactica is differant from many other science fiction series, and very very differant from the kitsch 80's show of the same name. This Battle Star Galactica has as well as great action scenes, at it's heart a very serious message. The message involving the nature of humanity and the grey area between enemies and friends is delivered through intricate and complex plots, as well as incredibly well defined ...
...candy for the guys and the girls of all or any orientation. Jamie Bamber, who can now been seen in law & Order UK, Tricia Helfer as No. 6, is as always stunning, an older but no less glamorous Lucy Lawless of Xena fame. Get it you will love it. I hear the new one can be pre-ordered already http://www.universal-playback.com/battlestar-galactica ...

Review of Battlestar Galactica - Series 4 - Complete (DVD)

Bit of a Razor - bit of a waster!

Advantages: Does add more detail for the series.
Disadvantages: Not overly interesting and can easily be missed without missing out.

...telling the story of the Battlestar Pegasus from before the time of the attack on the colonies to them canabilizing the fleet of civilians and a lone strange mission to destroy the cyclon secret weapon. I had to admit I did not enjoy the film the way I thought I would. Perhaps because I knew none of the characters despite the six (who plays the Admirals Lover) and the storyline was entirely new but not fresh. All this film was used for was to add ...
...series if about, its about Battlestar GALACTICA! I would not recommend wasting your money buying it for full price just yet, but waiting for it o be reduced or buy it second hand. There is a certain amount of information that you can get from it which makes more sense for later within the series, and if you're a die hard BSG fan like myself this will come in handy:) I did not own or rent the dvd therefore I cannot comment on the features of the ...

Review of Battlestar Galactica - Razor (DVD)

You Look Like a Radioactive Tampon

Advantages: Great Direction and Acting
Disadvantages: Too Slow for some

Moon reminds me a lot of those big weighty Sci-fi films of the seventies where it was all about atmosphere, storyline and your imagination rather than riotous special effects and wise cracking aliens. This film is utterly beguiling, its tense but strangely relaxing, all of these is down to two men, the director Duncan Jones and the star Sam Rockwell. This is Jones' first feature film and its an incredibly impressive debut, he eschewed using his father ...
...it is a really fantastic film which is a credit to him. Starring Sam Rockwell as Sam, the only worker on an automated lunar mining complex. He has been working on his own for nearly three years and nearing the end of his term in space he feels lonely, isolated and confused....as anyone would, I imagine. With only a droid, Gerty (Voiced by Kevin Spacey) for company, Sam is alone and starts to feel a world apart from Earth, he feels he is alone but ...

Review of Moon (DVD)

Sometimes, Ignorance is bliss

Advantages: clever thriller, good story, well acted
Disadvantages: bit depressing?

Dont misunderstand my review title, this is a cracking film. You can nearly always say that about Nicolas Cage films, but this one really is! The premise is simple. There are many disasters happening on earth, for some reason, aliens decide to warn mankind about the upcoming disasters by "whispering" them to a little girl in the 1950's. Unfortuneately, that girl does nothing with the information other than write it down on a bit of paper and allow ...
...capsule. The capsule is dug up in the current day and discovered by Nicolas Cage's character. He soon discovers the code in the series of numbers written on the page and works out that the code tells of impending disasters, when they will happen, how many will die and the location. The story continues on along this path, with a worrying fortelling of the end of days. We don't know what will happen right until the end. I wont ruin it for you either, ...
