Just finished watching the first film in the marathon! I been looking forward to watching this one... as I have become a fan of Elisha Cuthbert every since seeing the TV Series 24 for the first time. I enjoyed this film quite a bit. Though it does go with a few too many horror movie cliches. It didn't take me long to pretty much have the entire film figured out. But I still enjoyed myself watching it all unfold. There is 2 alternate endings on this DVD... but I think they went with the best one for the movie. Over-all a pretty good start to the marathon!

Tru Calling Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

My Thoughts:
No... the Unaired Pilot is not i the DVD release. I just happened to have it on VCD so I thought I would start off the marathon with it. This episode really is very similar to what they actually aired. They just changed a couple things. One is her friend Cameron. In this version of the pilot he is making a video game based on Tru's running. And that is the other thing... Tru runs much more in this version of the pilot. And maybe had a couple people played by different  actor... not 100% sure about that. I didn't add the Guest Stars to this one as I didn't find any info on them online. And the credits were not on the VCD that I have.

My Rating:
