Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

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

horsegoggles A 2 because of an apparently honest attempt at capturing the 60s. Everything about this is probably the result of honest attempts at all manner of things. Honest but contrived at almost every turn. Each line is delivered so as to impress the viewer with it's cleverness. I watched 3 seasons on Netflix, but was creep-ed out at some point in every episode. I don't think that I watched it as much for content as I did to see if it would continue to creep me out. The attempt at portraying a small town Christian atmosphere was plastic and again, creepy. I was surprised at Christopher Lloyd's over dramatizations. I tried really hard to like it, I think the actors tried really hard, except for aunt Whosit... she tried way too hard. The thirteen year old in me might watch additional seasons should Netflix air them, but not because of any expectation that they will get better. You know, the creepiness thing. Oh, and Aunt Whosit, she really should be detained by some governmental entity... for impersonating an actress.

Breck I can't figure out who the target audience is for this show. It's far too simplistic to hold the interest of adults, and, if it's for kids, you would think they would at least get the science right, especially considering it's a production of a major university.Example: early in the first episode, Arthur sees what is apparently a large meteor streak across the sky. He seems to be a smart kid--one of the first things he unpacks in his new home is a handmade model of the Solar System. Yet he continually refers to the meteor as a "comet." Not even his new-found nerdy friends correct him on this.If a kid-oriented show deals with scientific topics, it should be scientifically accurate. Kids are exposed to enough nonsense in their lives to have it reinforced in a show with educational pretensions.

Kevin Crenshaw This is BYUtv's first attempt create a family series on a limited budget, so I was concerned it would be cheesy or poorly done. That was true at first, but then they learned from their mistakes, and things got really interesting...Season 1: 5/10 stars. A few good moments. Persevere.Season 2 (first half): 7/10 stars. Improving. Important changes in scripting and acting make a *big* difference.Season 2 (last half): 8/10 stars overall. Added some big name talent, impressive script developments, characters start to come to life.Season 2 (finale): 10/10 stars. Brilliant! They are hitting on all cylinders now.Season 3: Can't wait to see. I feel like I *must* watch it.You'll have trouble understanding season 2 if you don't wade through season 1. IMO it was worth it. Think of it as an example of "agile" business methods (like they used for the iPhone, etc.)--get it out there quickly, learn from your mistakes, improve rapidly based on actual feedback.

spylake Completely enjoyable for all ages and non Mormon's need not fear this is a proselytizing tool. While the show is wholesome and honors Later Day Saint moral standards there is no direct or indirect Mormon content in the production. The plot is interesting and holds your attention, young and old. You should note that it is a serial and needs to be viewed in sequence. The cast and writing work well and any unevenness is easily forgiven when you accept that this is after all a University production. If you enjoyed shows in the past like Sky King or Lassie and lament that TV has lost its sense of innocence you will love this. The episodes are free to watch on the BYUTV web page so you can give the first episode a test run and see for yourself what I like about this production.
