Advantages: Brilliant TV show that is so much more than a generic sci-fi series
Disadvantages: Not enough people know just how good it is

...a brief review of the Farscape Ultimate Collection, but after about three lines I realised there was no way I could encompass what I thought about four complete & one mini-series of such a wonderful show into a single paragraph. So I finished quickly, hit save and then planned to come back when I had more time to try to explain why this is my favourite sci-fi TV series ever and why everyone in the entire world should know how good it is. "The "Ultimate ...
...probably the best thing about Farscape - it is so much more than just a sci-fi show for geeks, full of techno-babble & lycra-clad lovelies (although there are those elements to some degree). It is a human drama (albeit about some people who aren't exactly human and two main characters who are puppets) and how they cope with life, death, love, loss, the unknown and space monsters. In Farscape, the situations that arise are extreme (after all, it's ... Read review

Advantages: Graphics
Disadvantages: Everything else

Alien versus Predator Whoever wins we lose. Even the snappy subtitle starts some contraversy. As we have seen from Predator 1 all that was needed to kill a predator was one man. Ok it was arnold schwarzenegger but we could just get him again with some of his mates to kill three. As for the aliens there are about 10 of them so nothing really to be scared of if they win 10 aliens is not enough to defeat the human race. With this title without having ...
...like CG in Predator and Alien 1. The aliens look very realistic, if you have ever seen an alien in real life before, and all the weapons of the predators look great too even the costumes are advanced from the originals in Predator. However I have to talk about the negatives. You are going to be here for a long time! Firstly I am utterly disappointed that this movie was only a 15. This limits the amount of gore you actually see and in my view sort ... Read review

Advantages: chuck is awesome
Disadvantages: too few extras

...it's sheer brilliance. made in the 70's good old Charlton Heston and his Doc Savage chin and chest just rob Chuck in every scene. The film is so silly now it's just a case of watching it without trying to involve your brain in any way at all. Chuck dying at the end of the film I totally forgot about (I told you it contained spoilers!) all the scenes of newscasters and scientists on television stank of romero's "Dead" movies so I can see how the book ...
...been re-cut or included all the cut scenes (like the now infamous woman in crypt on the cutting room floor). It would have been nice to see the context those scenes were in. We got a tiny thing about "making of Omega Man" which was really bad and didn't add to the DVD in the slightest. Can't someone ask Charlton to get off his gun toting backside and make a few commentaries. No-one should even consider re-making this. Like Logans Run (HERESY!) certain ... Read review

Advantages: Everything is pretty amazing
Disadvantages: Some may get scared!

...deliver on the same levels. Aliens however has possibly stood the test of time better. I do find Camererons directing style more contempory to scotts. You should however watch the first one before this as it is still a classic. Sigourney weaver returns as the somewhat unwilling heroine, pitted against the creatures for a second time. The design on the aliens is brilliant. Being deigned buy the intense giger you can expect only the best. They still ...
...watched this movie on mute you would not be scared, the music is that important. The use of it is expert. One thing I would say is that you should simply buy the quadrilogy as you can pick it up at a good price now and its worth every penny. ... Read review
