treeduck Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/25/The_Martian_Chronicles_(TV_miniseries).jpg I watched this mini-series 35 years ago and remember it being good. So i finally watched it again, but now I agree with Ray Bradbury, it's just very, very boring. There's just not enough story to fill 4 hours+. It's interesting in parts but this was a big disappointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting in parts but this was a big disappointment. It was kind of interesting when they started investigating the settlements on Mars, but before that it very slow.The good parts amount to a few scenes scattered through the length of the whole. If it had been a 90 minute feature it might have been pretty good. After watching part one I was thinking ok that was the slow introductory segment now we'll get to the meat of it. I found though that outside of the final Rock Hudson segment and a couple of other scenes part one was the best part. And who the hell picked that crew for the 3rd expedition? Darren McGavin was playing his part like he was Kolchack on Mars! He'd have been ejected on day one of the academy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen this since it was on originally but I remember that the acting wasn't that great in it. The book was awesome, it's too bad they had to mess the mini-series up so much. I remember looking forward to seeing the Martians but they didn't show anything until the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember looking forward to seeing the Martians but they didn't show anything until the end.The only thing I remembered about it was Rock Hudson was in it. I remembered the Martian weapon, featured in part one, once I saw it again. I think the best part was probably that first expedition where the Martian woman dreams of the earth Captain landing on Mars and talking to her and swearing he'd kill for her. And when her husband finds out about it and discovers that the dream is going to come true he sets out and kills the two crew members. I thought we were going to see some more of these characters but we never did. And the other really good part was near the end when Rock Hudson finally meets a Martian through some kind of time anomaly. The ending was ok too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f1/Human-Centiped-poster.jpg Daft as fuckk and not really shocking or scary. To me this was just a run of the mill schlock horror film with a gratuitous shit-eating angle designed as a headline-grabbing device, which obviously worked. The film itself doesn't work though because the centipede idea is implausible physically and medically for multiple reasons that are obvious. Also the production is very amateur although the guy playing the doctor was pretty good. The Japanese guy was just annoying though he should have been the ass end! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/41/The_Lazarus_Effect_%282015_film%29_poster.jpg Low grade Flatliners meets Pet Sematary.

A tasteful explosion here and there is nice. Oh and speaking of the Terminator movies. What were they thinking with that kid they cast as John Connor in Terminator 3? He was AWFUL.

treeduck Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b8/Furious_7_poster.jpg This was daft and not very realistic, In fact Tom & Jerry cartoons have got more realism than this. These guys would have been dead 10 times over if they'd done half the silly shit in this. I mean I know that Hollywood is the land of fantasy but this is just purely daft. It makes the Expendables look like Schindler's List. Cars flying through the top of building after building hundreds of feet up and no one even gets a scratch? Paul Walker's sad demise in a car crash seems pretty ironic after seeing this. of course this isn't really important considering the whole thing is just a load of stupid bullshit anyway. Vin Diesel btw is probably the worst actor I've ever seen! He delivers his lines in a dull monotone and he has the charisma of a floorboard and "the Rock" isn't much better. What the hell is Kurt Russell doing in this, he was helpless with this "script". And it's loooong, it felt like about 5 hours! It's my own fault for watching of course, I hadn't seen one of these films before though but anyway at least there's one positive i can see; after seeing this and the Centipede a lot of mediocre trash is gonna look good for a little while. Wait a minute, that's not a positive is it? Shit! Oh well I was totally rooting for the bad guys! You bet i was, every step of the way!! Fuckk these Furious franchise fools! :madra: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
