The Terminator, a review by Dragonfire

My Thoughts

I decided that I wanted to watch the Terminator movies before I got started on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.  I only recently added this one to my collection and this was the first time in years that I watched it.  I still enjoyed the movie, though a few things, especially the music, did seem dated.  Arnold did well as the Terminator.  He was believable as a machine..I'm not sure if that is a compliment or not.     Anyway, the movie was very entertaining.  The violence wasn't too bad, though I still don't like the scene when the Terminator was doing a few repairs..that's just gross.

 

I just posted a review on Epinions if anyone wants to take a look.

A decent sequel. Almost non-stop action. Very heavy on special effects which in part feels a little outdated but watchable overall.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Farscape



What's the show about?
John Chrichton is the only human being in a strange part of the universe. There he meets the strangest of aliens and tries to find a way back home. The show never seemed to have a road map but instead seemed to base on the concept "what hilarious idea do put in writing for next week"?

"Premiere"
John Chrichton is an IASA astronaut and he tries to prove a theory. For that he conducts a low orbit experiment that goes wrong. He accidentally opens a wormhole that brings John Chrichton in a totally unkown part of the universe. He lands on a prison transport that has just been taken over by the prisoners.

My Opinion
That show is freaking hilarious. Loved every bit of it. I was really grateful that they made the fifth season, even if it was an abridged version.
