GamerTab That was an excellent one.

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

roland-rockerfella I have been watching Blake's 7 for more than 30 years, and it only keeps getting better with time. I remember watching this show as a kid and thinking, wow. As an adult I came to appreciate the true magic of this show. Sure the sets and special effects are basic, even comical at times (one spaceship was 2 hairdryers glued together and spray painted red).But all that doesn't matter, the stories and characters are timeless. The first episode "The way Back" is a real nut buster covering such dark material as mass murder, child abuse and lifelong sentence's on prison planets. The main characters of Blake and Avon are 2 of the best characters ever to reach the small screen. A must see for dark gritty sci-fi.

mwillows2 "Blakes 7"... well.. where do you start, but back when it aired, it was my favourite show as a child, making my parents tune in to watch it every week, it had wonderful characterisation, delightful banter between Avon and Vila, definitely the best characters of the show. Paul Darrow, what an inspired choice, being a Shakespearean actor, took the role and made it his own. Snarling, sniping... Everyone remembers the wobbly sets... who didn't from that time, didn't Dr Who have the same problem?... Unlike Dr Who you didn't know who was to be knocked off that week? Gan being killed off in the second series at that time, who saw it coming?Years later, having them all on DVD, thank god someone decided to release them, fantastic!!! And they do get better after multiple viewings... up there with firefly, and Babylon 5, best British sci fi? Not now, back in 1978, god yes!!! it was dark, bleak, a kind of robin hood and his merry men in space, but with bickering... what a good idea, bot like star trek, where everyone is nice to each other..One word. Brilliant

EvilBaldDude Set in a very distant future, Blake's 7 is a story of a group of criminals, who are lead by a political dissident (Blake) to fight a rebellion against an evil, Orwellian interstellar Federation. It incorporates elements of Star Trek, Robin Hood, and George Orwell's 1984. The bad: the special effects are appalling, even by 1970s BBC standards. The early beta-max video is harsh looking. Some of the episode plots stretch believability.Now the good: everything else is absolutely excellent. The artwork, costuming and design is superb. The top notch cast of actors all shine (this is back in the days when the BBC hired actors primarily for their talent, as opposed to their "market appeal"). The dialog is thick with subtle innuendo, irony, drama and the characters seem vivid and real. Some of these characters are fascinating. Most of the stories are reasonably good, and the overall situation of the series is quite absorbing.If you can get past the bad, and I highly recommend trying, B7 is hours of entertainment for you. And even the bad has a good side to it. The trademark early BBC special effects are worth watching, as they can provide a chuckle now and then too.

tsm-1 Aven and the the rest of the 7 were cool...almost ridiculously so; I always thought Aven was Blake (surname or something) until I saw the episodes where they referred to Blake as another person and of course the episodes towards the end that actually featured Blake. Why is it that we British are so good at Science Fiction; DR WHO,THE PRISONER (though I only read about this one),HITCH HIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY etc and yet we're...so bad at implementing or rather we cut them off before they can cross the pass. I think it comes down to perhaps the fact that SCI-FI makes people think even our hard drinking,football loving working classes would be stirred into intellectual activity of some kind and that's the last thing we need...I HAVE A SOLUTION! These Brilliant programmes should be made again...but show them late (11pm or midnight) when most people are tired and asleep from a hard evenings drinking. YOu make your money by Selling the shows to the USA, Japan, Europe etc...That way no compromise on intellectual quality and no worries about masses of drones getting uppitty....Everyones Happy.
