Reviews

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
newpony Rod Serling must have been spinning over 1000 times in his grave after what was done to his beloved series. Why can't people simply leave a classic TV series alone instead of trying to bring it back years later and ruining what was good about it in the first place? They screwed around with it in the 80s and barely tweaked out a handful of watchable episodes. That wasn't tragic enough. They had to mess around with it again 20 years later. I'm surprised that Forrest Whittaker even took part in this joke of a series. I don't get it. All of these kids who graduate from colleges and universities with degrees in movie production and direction and whatever else they spend thousand of dollars learning can't come up with something new and original? Are they that unimaginative, lazy and/or stupid. Try to come up with your own ideas instead of stealing from the geniuses before you. I could figure out every original episode from the 60s that they stole from to make the most poorly redone stories imaginable.
jhearse I don't know why the some people seem to think this (2002) series was so bad. Sure, it's not the original. But like the remake in 1985, it has some good episodes and some weaker ones. we all loved Serling, but even some of the originals were a little weak at times. don't over-romanticize Serling. he was one of the greatest writers ever, but not just because of the twilight zone, but his great westerns, crime dramas, etc. and even the original series had a few clunkers - don't forget that he didn't write them all, anywaysCompared to what's out there, from predictable sitcoms to endless CSI/Law and Order formulaic shows, this one's not that bad. Heck, compare it to the absolutely horrible Sci-F channel movies,, yuck!So, I say. I enjoy this version just fine. heck.. it's only TV.
Valentin Georgescu It has history, character and it takes you out for a walk in the world of what is surrealistically real! The Twilight Zone is one of the best television shows ever made. The concept of the show will be carried in my mind throughout my entire life. I must add that given the fact that it's characters change form an episode to another, the show remains self-explanatory and follows quite a strict behavior. It does not, however, become predictable or plain, but surprises with a juicy ending that lets you wonder and leaves you craving for more every single time. An idea well thought, a show that is worth the braincells it might kill, and a ZONE that no matter how hard we try, we can never explain.The Twilight Zone!
radiopal Okay, I bought the DVD at Wal-Mart and then read the reviews on IMDb, I agree with everyone that this is nothing like Rod Serling's Twilight Zone. However, after watching 3 episodes, I decided to watch the shows not as the Twilight Zone, but as an anthology series (there have been several, Outer Limits, Hitch Hiker, Night Gallery to name a few) and the more that I watched, the more I enjoyed it. Yes, it can never be adequately compared to the original, nor should it be. But if you decide to give the series a try, watch it as a fun anthology series. I was even thrilled to see a couple of "tongue-in-cheek" episodes. It will definitely be worth watching that way.
