Best movie ever!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

If you love the typical Hollywood liberal agenda then this is a sci-fi series for you. Includes all the typical non-sense. America is bad, the president are corrupt despots who want to destroy the world.If you would like something new and refreshing and thinking outside the box, then pass on it.Stephen Hawking may be a brilliant scientist and that may be because he doesn't watch any TV. If he did he would know that this type of material has done before a thousand times and there is nothing about it that is masterful. This serious could of had great potential if the America bashing was left out of it. Shame on you Dr.

Having missed all the other UK showings of MOSF I was happy to sit down and watch episode 2 - what a mistake! Although the budget and acting were above average the story made absolutely no sense and as for the final scenes with the President making a decision no one would ever make that fast under so much ridiculous pressure. It was poorly written and obviously aimed at a certain religion and political bias. Does anyone actually know why it was set in Iraq or did the writers think that would allow them to make a contemporary political commentary.I would advise against bothering with this episode - see the other reviews for the rest.

From the first sight this show is very different from the others sci-fi shows. The difference in a nutshell - no running, no shooting, no fighting. Instead of it - thinking. No wonder many of the US watchers have found this show "boring" and switched to more usual time killers.It seems that creators of the show tried to make people think. And subjects happened to be uncomfortable and hard. Why do we fight each other? Why don't we see that all is connected, that all people are the same, that we all are the same humans. And what is the human, anyway? How one human can think that he is better than other, that he knows what others should do?Great SF masters brought up these questions.In the series American presidents shown as a representatives of the Americans attitude - they are stronger, they are better, so they could dictate other people and tell them what to do. And of course, the consequences of such delusions are also shown - as the results of the nuclear world war (Clean Escape), or the world just on the brink of war (The Awakening).Those and other important questions are described in the books these series are based upon. But unfortunately, they are too heavy. And the watchers need something lighter. Don't think, just watch - nowadays motto.While it is so, the happy days of humanity are still far away.

Greetings,The show should have been titled "Masters of Doom and Gloom," or better yet "Master of Liberal Fiction!" It was slow, boring and your typical end of the world at the hands of mankind crap.I can't understand why they insist on making political statements rather than good science fiction. There are thousands of plots out there that they could use, why use a tired worn out one.Bringing in big named talent and using Stephen Hawking does not give credibility to poor writing and tired plots. Please don't waste your time with this one.How about we all grow-up. Or, maybe just the Hollywood liberals! Mike
