Stargate Ark Of Truth

Advantages: Great special effects
Disadvantages: none

Stargate The Ark Of Truth This was a trully amazing film. Even though Stargate SG1 is over, the films are just as good. Samantha, Teal'C, Vala, Cameron and Tomin venture deep into the Ori galaxy to find a weapon. Which will hopefully stop the Ori at all costs. But problems occour when a member of the IOA purposely creates a replicator which wreaks havoc on the Odyssey. In the DVD extras * Audio commentary with writer, director and producer Robert ...
...* The Ark of Truth: Stargate at Comic-Con * Uncovering The Ark of Truth * Trailers for AVPR and In the Name of the King Unlike some people i always watch DVD extras because there is always some little bit of the film you might not see. Plus it is interesting to hear what the actors and producers think of what they are doing. Overall i was gripped by what was going on because you always want to know what is going on. Especially when the replicator ...

Review of Stargate - The Ark Of Truth (DVD)

Stargate SG1 Series 1-10 plus The Ark of Truth

Advantages: Incredible value, great for any fan of the series
Disadvantages: Lacks the special extras you may find in a specially created boxset

Stargate is a 10-series TV programme based on the 1994 film of the same name. It tells the story of a device found in Egypt which allows instananeous transportation from Earth to a network of planets across the galaxy. The early series focus on the first encounters with an alien race called the Gou'ald - a parasitic race that occupies human bodies and which bases their culture on Egyptian mythology. The human goal is to explore the galaxy and acquire ...
...effect as providing the complete Stargate SG1 DVD collection and may put some people off. All I will say is that the price of this boxset makies it incredible value when compared to the latest 'Complete' boxsets. Extras As mentioned above, this is really just a collation of all of the individual boxsets that you can already buy in the shops, and so there are none of the special extras that you may expect to find where the boxset has been created ...

Review of Stargate S.G. 1 - Series 1-10 - Complete/The Ark Of Truth (Box Set) (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, ...

Review of Knowing (Blu-ray)

Return To Form!

Advantages: Classy return to form, set in the future! very well done!
Disadvantages: should have been an 18 to be its best!

...is I am a big Terminator fan. I loved Terminator 1 and 2. With Terminator 3, they ruined the franchise, it was rubbish on many levels. Terminator salvation is literally the saviour of the fanchise. In the same way that Casino Royale, Batman Begins and others have saved other franchises, the same has happened here. The most thrilling thing is that Terminator Salvation is the first film set in the future. During the war against the Terminators and ...
...as you'd expect from a Terminator film. Sure, Arnie wasn't in it, but perhaps that was a good thing. You can have too much of a good thing after all. Christian Bale does a very good job of being bad-ass and insipiring at the same time. The way its set in the not too distant future, featuring current human weaponry being used against the machines in a nice touch. The picture and sound on the blu ray edition is first rate and makes the scenes with ...

Review of Terminator - Salvation (Blu-ray)

Science defying Madness!

Advantages: easy to watch, reasonably priced, good picture
Disadvantages: very unrealistic

...I remembered her saying she wanted to see it at the cinema, but we never got round to going. I admit, i was a little uninterested as the whole concept seemed a bit ridiculous. If you haven't seen the trailer, then it wont be spoiling it too much that the premise of the film is action orientated and there's physics defying gun play where the main characters make bullets travel in circles and bends in order to kill people they shouldn't be able too. ...
...will be most disappointed. The story line centres around a young chap doing 9-5 in an office job. He's not happy in his work or his life. One day he bumps into Angelina Jolie's character ("Fox") in a chemist she is apparently there to save his life from an assassin, who also killed his father. He is then recruited into "the fraternity" a group of assassins who have been around since ancient times. Killing people according to the interpretations ...
