Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

janetlarina Started watching cause of the good reviews. My opinion, my personal opinion: the series is nonsense. Complete nonsense in script and acting.Objects: A "magic comb" that stops time, a "magic clock" - woo spooky... I should mention that the objects are absolutely non-interesting that can make you go: "wow how clever is that!"Acting: Not only the scenario is nonsense, but also seems like the actors don't pay any attention to acting: neither surprised of all the magic happening around (which may be surprising for the policeman), nor interested in everything around. The characters are not written fully, you do not understand where they come from and where is their motivation in finding "objects".Script: I read in someone's review already that it is so "high school", the love line is obvious from the first glance, basically everything is obvious. Even the parent-children line that is supposed to hook you up and make you feel something strong, just doesn't do it. It is not believable (because of the actors or fine written characters - I don't know).It is that kind of series that are shown on cable at night. Emmy nominee - don't know how they got there...

A_Different_Drummer Once again I apologize to the reader and to the IMDb people for trying to give a rating higher than 10, but this is some of the finest television efforts ever. Before doing this review, I reviewed several lists of "excellent" mini series. An incredibly high percentage were period pieces, drenched in pompous accents; or simply drenched in pompous accents with no special time frame or period. In other words, to do a mini-series based on a sci-fi theme AND DO IT RIGHT without relying on aliens, ghosts, ghouls, robots or some other monster is an almost impossible feat and this crew (which included revolving directors and writers) nailed it out of the box. Other reviewers have covered the plot, or at least tried to, because this one has so many twists and turns that it makes the Matrix look like it should be introduced by Kermit. Let me say that I originally missed the first episode but caught the rest in proper sequence. I was so gob-smacked by what I saw that I waited until our our local station reran the entire series in the summer, and watched the whole thing again, beginning to end, and enjoyed it even more. Acting first-rate. Especially nice seeing Julianna Margulies shortly after she disappeared from a prominent medical series. Kevin Pollak steals all his scenes, normally a comic, he plays a baddie and does a great job. Early Elle Fanning makes this a treat for film buffs. Look, this is not my usual review style, but if there was a 20 rating available I would give this the higher number. There are still bits of the story that haunt me and I would happily see it a third or fourth time.

by xander NO SPOILERS. Although this mini series is 100 percent awesome. There is some confusion, or aggravation about the ending. The story fleshes out main themes of the bible. First, the 'object' if human means immortality - the son of God. If one tries to become immortal by using the objects, they are not. The objects merely give the illusion of immortality - illusion/deceit is work of the devil.Thus the materialism vs honourableness theme appears. Second, the ambiguity of the room requires faith. The how and why mirror the how and why of the existence of human beings, and the search for something that may or may not exist.Third, the experiments on room 9. They r trying to become god and therefore are banished to hell. ie. the woman ghost in agony.Fourth, the occupant. This is the hardest one of all to understand and took me a while. He was Jesus. He suffered for our sins. He had all his possessions taken away. He wore only white and was there both times when the experiment on door 9 took place, as divine intervention. As the anointed one. which is why he had his past erased. because he is meant to do Gods work...not to have a family life. Five, the reason the room resets is because it is a place of purity, it is the garden of Adam and Eve, why do you think there is a bed in the room??????

copperncherrio There are a bunch of objects that belong in the motel room. Each of them give you a power. There are different groups of people that have different beliefs about the room, whether they are the remains of God or just to be used by God. The reasoning behind these objects are unclear, and they don't go really too deep into the whole God thing. But the thing that brings all these Motel room together is key.And everything works under a certain line of rules. The mystery and the epic evolves around these objects. It's impressive that they made a mini-series that just involve simple objects and made them so interesting. The story centers around a single man who lost his daughter in the room. Like us he is discovering the history behind the objects like we are.Overall, this is a great epic that is intriguing and well written. I strongly suggest this show for those who love adventures and discovery.
