Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

rlandmann My first impressions of this show are very conflicted. On the one hand, it's a real joy to be watching a near-future space exploration show with mostly realistic hardware. Seriously: Antares is maybe one of the best thought-out deep-space exploration vessels depicted on film or TV. On the other hand, the two episodes I watched were more about the tawdry personal lives of the astronauts than about space exploration.There's a long tradition of hard sci-fi being used as a backdrop for psychological exploration, and although there's a faint note of that in this show too, it's no "2001" or "Solaris". However, some time is devoted to astronauts dwelling on and having to come to terms with past decisions.Against all that, I was interested to learn that the show had been pitched as "Gray's Anatomy in Space", because that's more or less how it plays out. I really, really didn't care who was bedding whom though, I just wanted to see how the mission played out.As a final hook, it becomes evident very early on that there's something aboard the Antares that mission control on earth knows about and the crew do not. I can't wait to find out more! :)

bchodo I just don't understand. Programs like Defying Gravity, Firefly, and others, that highlight the highs and lows of the human condition get canceled, but shows that revel in the dysfunction of people get renewed for a decade. I would have loved to see how the story progresses. What happens to the crew as they make their grand tour of the solar system. Find out how Beta and Gamma interact and affect the crew. How Zoe was changed by her ordeal. How Arnel lost his leg. Why Jen can't see Beta or Gamma. Who (or what) is Nadia. And what will happen when all of "them" have been retrieved and are finally together.Maybe a pogrom against ignorant, shallow broadcast executives is necessary.

Michael S. Honestly, it is my first review at IMDb.com. I was so surprised by the low rating at 6.9 that I decided to write this review. This TV series deserves at least 9.0.For anyone who loves science-fiction TV series and space exploration in general, you will love this TV series. I am very surprised that it lasted only one season.The actors are really good. There is a beautiful love story, there is an intriguing science-fiction element that needs further inquiry, and the acting is basically excellent.There was so much potential to have several seasons with this TV series. It is a shame that it did not happen. Maybe it was costly to do, as the visual effects are also excellent.The only kind of difficult area is the way they explained the science-fiction element of this TV series. It is not done as clearly as it should have been and you have to wait quite a few episodes before you get clarification on this matter. In the meantime, enjoy the acting and the love story.If you like a good story, excellent acting, science-fiction elements, you will enjoy this TV series. I saw it once (13 episodes). Then, loving it so much, I watched it again a day later and I enjoyed it even more than the first time I watched it!!Here are mostly TV series and a few movies that I highly recommend, as I watched them and enjoyed them a lot.--------------------------------------------------------There are a few classics in science-fiction TV series:---Smallville---Star Trek: Enterprise---Babylon 5---Earth: Final Conflict---Battlestar Galactica---Star Wars (6 movies so far and counting)---Jupiter Ascending (a movie)all deserving 15 out of 10 because they are all very special TV series for the quality of their stories and for the amazing actors that they have. Are these TV series perfect? No, as they sometimes have "filler" episodes that are not too great and they also sometimes have "holes", illogical elements in the main story or in the individual stories of particular episodes. Despite sometimes the presence of these very few shortcomings, these TV series are really unique and special in many ways that you will nevertheless enjoy them greatly.Other TV series that are excellent but not necessarily science-fiction? Here is my list of other excellent TV series that you will appreciate a lot:--A few more science-fiction:---Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome (it is science-fiction)---Caprica (it is science-fiction)---Babylon 5: Thirdspace (it is science-fiction)---Space: Above and Beyond (it is science-fiction)---Defying Gravity (it is science-fiction)---The Tomorrow People (it is science-fiction)---The 100 (it is science-fiction)---Almost Human (it is science-fiction)--Non-science fiction:---24---24: Live Another Day---Dexter---The Vampire Diaries (it is fantasy I could call it)---Breaking Bad---Kyle XY (it is slightly science-fiction)---Nikita---Damages--------------------------------------------------------

hotmrkt How in the world did these people become astronauts? On a space walk, the Donner character sees the two people that got left behind on Mars, one being his lover at the time, and he has history with two of the four women that are along for the mission. The doctor thinks he's back in Bosnia in a war zone, crawling around on the floor hallucinating. The physics guy is cowering in his room afraid of something, I have yet to see why. Even the captain of the ship locks himself in his room pouting about something. There is no way that these people in real life would have been picked to spend 6 years together in a space ship, and hope to make it back. I'm going to continue to watch, as I'm really enjoying the special effects, they spared no expense on that, but I can see why they did not air the entire season on TV.
