Red Dwarf: Back to Earth (Part One) (2009)
A welcome return of old friends
I don't usually write reviews but all these rubbish comments denigrating an exceptional effort have me miffed.
After a decade and several weak seasons Red Dwarf returns to its core with the 4 main characters doing what they do best, dealing with the trials and tribulations of being 3 million years in deep space.
The story is solid as Doug Naylor delivers a great script. The Blade Runner references are both smart and funny, but they won't confuse it if you've never seen Blade Runner. The special effects are excellent despite a very limit budget. The actors are all spot on.
I for one was thrilled to have Red Dwarf return. Perhaps Doug, Chris, Danny, Robert and Craig deliver best with a tight budget and the odds against them.
Darn the movie – Make more shows like these!
