Route 66 (1960)
I've been watching this show since it first ran.
It might seem over dramatic and bit corny by todays standards, but it gives a true snapshot of the times.
It reflects values of a by gone era - the men are tough but fair and honest - in a mindful way.
They get involved in others lives in a way that would seem risky today they actually seem to care about others.
Sadly, the HULU video quality is pretty poor - I don't know why but if you can look beyond that you will find some great well written and moving stories.
The first season has 30 episodes - wow they we hard workers back then. Now a long season is like 12 episodes!
Give it a try...
Life (2017)
A bad rip off How many sequels will we have to see..
This is a badly done rip off of Alien, only not done as well. There are just too many unrealistic things here. ISS has no back up communication system? (hint: it does, several) You would potentially kill all of mankind to save one person? These are supposed to be highly trained engineers yet they act like idiots. I think Marc Eastman said it best: "the nonsensical explanations of an alien that is, at its core, both laughable magical and nothing more than a swirling black hat." For me the movie was an annoying disappointment.
Independents' Day (2016)
Don't spend a dime on this one.
This movie is a total ripoff. Someone should sue them and all monies should be refunded. The dialog is the worst I have ever seen. The cinematography is terrible - I think a home movie camera would have done a better job, the story line is beyond bad - it reminds me of a 1960's era scifi movie - not much beyond Godzilla. I really hope that the producer, director, production company and even the actors have NO career going forward, as this movie is just a scam playing a an earlier movie with a similar title. It would be hard to "spoil" this one, as there really is no viable plot and the entire movie is pretty much predicable. You've been warned!
Under the Dome (2013)
Good story badly done.
The idea for the story and the overall plot had real potential. But bad dialog, bad screen play concepts and marginal acting ruined it. It is one of the corniest shows in modern times.I could not help noticing just how unrealistic many of the scenes were. For example, a non practicing doctor, who only did an internship, diagnosis an out break with no real testing. Then the doctor can tell that they will all be dead in 12 hours if the do not get antibiotics. Whats more, the antibiotics cure the disease almost instantly. Another example, the wall of a house goes up flames as though it had gas on it. These are just a few examples of what I mean by unrealistic. Of course the story is a fantasy and of course we suspend belief for that - its just the corn ball over dramatization of other aspects of the story. I also believe that this will be one of those stories that just never resolves it self. It is an interesting story but really, for how long? I don't consider this be be Sci-Fi, as the story has really become about the people, who also again are over dramatic and unrealistic. I watched the first 6 shows, so I think I gave a fair shot.
It will not be the first or last poorly done show to continue on, but you've been warned. Enjoy.
