Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
reidar-haraldsson This is simply a great show.It's intelligent, it's funny, it's well written and it's catching. (Rufus and Marley will reel you in as if you were a fish on a hook.) It's also a great mystery and shame that it was canceled. When you hitchhike trough the TV-landscape it is exceedingly difficult to find shows that's not stupid. Once upon a time there was a great hope that television would better peoples life. Make us better and better advised. There was also great fear that this media would stupify people and make them numb. I always found both arguments naive. Of course that was before shows like "Real housewives" and "It only hurts when I laugh". And so on. Today I'm not so sure. It's therefore a relief when you find a show that entertain without stupifying.Why was it canceled? No matter how hard I try I can't figure out how these TV-executives think. If they do at all. I suspect sometimes that they are merely instinctive beings.But experts and executives aside, don't be stupid, don't miss out on the Eleventh Hour.
taylor cullum Eleventh Hour is a breath of fresh air in the world of prime time TV. You have the brilliant biophysicist Dr. Jacob Hood and his FBI handler Rachel Young, along with the newest edition to the Elventh Hour, Special Agent Felix. It's more realistic than it's prime time predecessor CSI Las Vegas, even though some things are a bit hard to believe and seem sci fi-ish to ordinary people. It contains a bit of a slighty-more-than-friends sort of chemistry between Rachel and Jacob that can be compared to early GSR.It gives a very real perspective of things. Episode 4 of Season 1 was about Savant Syndrome, and there was once a scandal of sorts back in the 80s that happened that was rather similar to such things. To see that expanded upon in these episodes is a nice change from just cold blooded murder you see in all 3 CSI's.
bgoding The science on this program is so bad and so far off the mark that it is not even fantasy. While many of the genetic manipulations described are possible in theory, the necessary tools to accomplish them are not yet in existence; Jurassic Park, cube and squared. And the time frames are impossibly short. The acting doesn't get any kudos either, but given the material the actors have to work with, that's no surprise. It's also pretty obvious that the writers/directors have a political agenda that won't be affected by facts. It was good to see R. Lee Ermey in a different context, but he was pretty wooden with his lines as well. The writing is trite and clichéd beyond belief.
Naomi R. Watson Usually NBC is the network that serves up those half-baked remakes of great foreign shows.This time, it's CBS that take a promising concept and makes it into a mess.First, the writing is apocalyptically awful, the show almost plays like a spoof of itself.The first scene has a Police Officer not only touch a container marked "Bio-Hazard" that was dumped by a suspect, but opens it and then sniffs it!! And it was supposed to be serious.The other problem this show has is Marley Shelton. She is indescribably awful. She takes he few good scenes that the script had (the ones with humor) and stomps on them with her bad, full of grimaces, acting.Rufus Sewell looks like he's about to fall into a coma at any time and shows none of the humor he is capable of.In short: what were they thinking?
