On the Starship Andromeda

Advantages: Ver enjoyable
Disadvantages: Kevin Sorbo was hotter as Hercules

...television show was of course Andromeda and as I now have a lovefilm membership I can watch whatever I want! A couple of months ago I received the first DVD of Andromeda season 1 and I have to say that I was disappointed. It turns out that I'm not in love with Kevin Sorbo so much as Hercules. But I got over my initial disappointment (with some help from the extremely sexy Keith Hamilton Cobb) and found out that there is much more to this show than ...
...it's set in. Andromeda is set thousands of years into the future. Humans can now travel throughout space and interact with other races from other planets. Not only are there other races but there are also different types of humans, like the Nietzschean's who are homo sapiens but faster, stronger and more resistant to illness than humans due to genetic modification. Within this universe there is the System's Commonwealth, a utopian civilisation that ...

Review of Andromeda - Series 1 (Box Set) (DVD)

Andromeda - Season 5 - Midpoint

Advantages: 4 Episodes on a two DVD set.
Disadvantages: Lack of extra and a bit expensive

...and the crew of the Andromeda Ascendant are continued as they try to re-energise the Andromeda and find their way out of the Seefra system. As with most of the DVD's in the fifth series this box set contains 4 episodes namely E10 to E13, which are seperated onto 2 DVD's. E10 - The Test. This is a bit of a wierd episode as it is told from start to finish as normal, but the character interaction is dealt with by fade in / out as the story moves ...
...will help him power the Andromeda back up. On the whole a well executed episode, apart from the distractive way that the story is told. E11 - Through The Glass, Darkly. In my opinion, the best episode on the DVD set. The story revolved around the crew of the Andromeda trying to save a refugee camp from an evil tyrant who is trying to take over Seefra 5. With the crew trying to supply the refugee's with supplies and Rhade helping to defend the ...

Review of Andromeda - Season 5 - Vol. 3 (DVD)

In ROTF, the robots are much, much bigger.

Advantages: funny, exciting, great effects, good story, good acting, fast paced
Disadvantages: too much crude humour, slightly abrupt endings for some scenes

...was expecting a lot from Transformers 2. Knowing Bay and Spielberg, I knew that they would give us a sequel with 10 times more stunts and effects than the first one. Unfortunately, they slightly over did it. Revenge of The Fallen follows the events of the original Transformers movie about a normal teenage boy, Sam, being chosen to help the Autobots defend Earth and defeat the Deceptagons. The film starts off with a brilliant scene showing Wheelie, ...
...city. A noticeable difference between the two movies is the size of the transformers. In ROTF, the robots are much, much bigger. This is best near the end of the movie when a enormous robot is generated from other robots. Sometimes in the many fights between the two types of transformer it gets confusing to tell the difference between them as their colours blend in. This is not a major problem due to terrific autobot voice acting. So, the effects ...

Review of Transformers - Revenge Of The Fallen (DVD)

Who needs Guantanamo Bay. Check this out Obama!

Advantages: Interesting sci-fi
Disadvantages: Perhaps the acting

...quite enjoyed ‘Event Horizon’. The Cube trilogy, like the above a more intriguing angle on the topic, is something that I have been aware of for a while but have yet to see any for rent, only Blockbusters policy of buying old DVDs from customers finally uncovering one. I think mobile phones and bad acting have destroyed the notion of ever seeing a decent horror movie era again-the internet providing far worse for people who really want to be shocked-and ...
...best way forward. Cube is not the most innovative and intelligent film in the genre but its certainly unique and leaning that way. CAST Nicole de Boer ... Joan Leaven - The Math Student Nicky Guadagni ... Helen Holloway - The Doctor David Hewlett ... David Worth - The Architect Andrew Miller ... Kazan - The Autistic Man Julian Richings ... Alderson - The First Victim Wayne Robson ... Rennes - The Fugitive Maurice Dean Wint ... Quentin - The Cop The ...

Review of Cube (DVD)

Darker and yet funnier than the previous films.

Advantages: Amazing special effects. Excellent acting.
Disadvantages: Unfaithful to the book in parts.

...film in its own right Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is one of my favourites of the series so far. This film is much darker than the others, the wizarding world has now admitted that Voldemort is back and Harry has to realise his ties with Voldemort more than ever before. Despite being a much darker film it is also more comedic than many of the others. The strong theme of romance and various different love stories give the film much needed ...
...are hilarious. The acting is of an excellent standard and Jim Broadment makes a welcome addition to the cast as Professor Slughorn. This film contains less action than many of the others, largely to focus upon the storyline and retell the wealth of information revealed in this book. In order to create more action there are several scenes in the film which do not appear in the book. Some I think work well (the dementors destroying the millenium bridge ...
