Chatverock Takes itself way too seriously

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Kjirstin Youngberg Ashamed to admit I paid a grand total of 44 cents for this collection (plus another in a dual pack DVD from the local dollar store on 88 Cent Day.) It was worth so much more~my husband and I have sat up late two nights in a row watching them all. Nearly as addictive as Downton Abbey, with music reminiscent of the Harry Potter Series, it was a fun escape from the news of the day a century later. The "journalist" was a particularly clever way to tie the lot together, one story blending into the next, so we didn't want to stop watching. We were both disappointed it was only six episodes. We've started an American series now called Granite Flats, set in cold war 1961. It's hard to find, and more "family-oriented" but some nice mystery to it. We're looking forward to seeing it's second season start up this April. It's always fun to discover these little-known, short-lived televised gems.

johnstonjames this was such a intriguing television show it's too bad somebody didn't make it into a series. there are only four episodes here and i could have watched at least thirty more.that always happens to some of the best and most intriguing series potentials. ABC network canceled one of it's most promising new series 'Pan Am' because of lack of audience and critical interest. as far as watching a show about advertising ('Mad Men') Vs. a show about the old transatlantic Boeing airplanes, i'd rather watch the airplanes. funny though H.G. Wells himself was critical of areoplanes.this doesn't always happen with television. back in the 1980's, the movie 'Buckaroo Banzai' should have been made into a series of movies sequels and had great potential for it. i hate when this happens and more mediocre entertainment spawns one franchise after another.of all the authors i've read i've read H.G. Wells the most. my father loved H.G. Wells and had a collection of his stories which i've kept and picked up from time to time. i've always wondered why someone didn't make more out of Well's short stories. then i discovered this mini series and was impressed with what they made of them.i'm sure having Nick Willing involved with this project helped. Nick Willing is among the very best producers of made for television ventures. he's always original in his vision and has a way of making classic authors and stories feel fresh and vibrant.this story was great sci-fi with a turn of the century look and feel of the author's time period. it was also very whimsical and funny as in the episodes about the fat man who becomes weightless and the truth serum segment where the stuffy college Dean professes his amorous affections for a young professor by saying "is it possible for one man to feel this way about another?". hilarious as all hell.great show and great job from expert Nick Willing. it's says a lot when your main complaint is that there isn't more of it.

RashadInOz Happily, the screens - small and large - have (mostly) been kind to H G Wells. I'm a fan so I attribute it to the charming quality of "human-ness" and compassion that ran through his writing (and not just his sci-fi either). I'll keep clear of the Time Machine remake and the tragedy of casting Guy Pearce in the lead. What's intriguing is that H G Wells himself has often been written into period pieces as a character - always a sensitive new-age kinda guy - and why not?- he really was years ahead of the time he lived in. And "Infinite Worlds" does it well. The screenwriters do not let Wells' short stories down as they weave a gentle romance and equally gentle humour in with stories like The Stolen Bacillus, The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes and others. The period style is light and the well-directed cast play their parts with none of the embarrassment that often dogs smaller productions. Add a soundtrack that matches the mood of "Infinite Worlds" and you've got a warm evening's viewing (or two - the version I saw was in three parts on cable and even without the ads it was a few enjoyable hours worth).

Robert Nicholas (Rob-77) If you are a fan of H.G. Wells and like the odd spot of romance then this "made for tv special" is for you. I saw it on the Hallmark Channel over the span of 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.The format is reasonably simple. Set in post-WWII, Wells is visited by an "up and coming star" lady, a supposed journalist, who comes to quiz the famous author on an old science chum. This in leads to Wells relating a number of stories that he played some small part in well over 50 years ago. All of the stories are short, lasting about 40 minutes screen time. They mostly revolve around time and its a wonderful exploration on its varying effects on people.Thrown into all of this is Well's love interest. A charming lady scientist who urges the great writer onto bigger and better things.All in all this is one of the better 'made for telly movies' that I've seen. A decent cast, nice settings and a good script. I gave it a rare 10/10.
