Advantages: Good Quality, Fun
Disadvantages: Alot of Disks

When i first noticed this title in the shops, my first reaction was "Thats too expensive" but then i realised that it was the price for ten films all included in the one set. The films in this set each have their own individual story and are only linked by the setting and characters. Each film in this set is interesting and have many good points and few bad points, on afew of the films the special effects are a bit lacking but this is due to the ... Read review

...more dangerous dreams. Zero Population Growth follows in the wake of movies like Fahrenheit 451, giving a clinical and disturbing view of the future. Its ultimate storyline would not come as a surprise to anyone, two people daring to go out on a limb in order to have a child of their own. But what does come as a bit of a surprise is how unforgiving dull this movie is after so much potential. If you'll forgive me, the world mind numbing would not ... Read review

Advantages: Gets you thinking, decent acting and concept
Disadvantages: TV ending not included in special features

...enjoy thought-provoking, original films, then The Butterfly Effect could be for you. It isn't as philosophically mind-bending as I think its creators wanted it to be, but it is quite intense and will invoke some debate after watching. The storyline and acting are both good, and you get caught up in the tension as the main character attempts to make the decision that's best for all, with devastating consequences. There's a part in the middle where ...
...purpose to every scene. If you saw it in the cinema or on TV, be prepared for a different ending. I was a bit disappointed that the whole alternative ending wasn't included in the special features, only the corny part of it. Definitely worth having, to watch at leisure. Enjoy. ... Read review
