Constantine (2014–2015)
10/10
eric45-1, thanks for being one of us devote's
7 July 2015
After having seen the movie version with Keeno Reeves, I still keep seeing fans in Hotmail show how tragic it was the t.v. version was taken off. There are plenty of fans.

Did what this show from DC comics portray get to close to the real Occult for one or more out there, that practice things of magick? Yes, with a K for the real rituals, spells, conjuring, summoning. Not David Copperfield illusion magic.

Did it get a "Davinci Code" reaction that, if only a movie showing a descendant of English named Jesus, not his Hebrew or Aramaic name versions, revealing a present day daughter the Vatican finds too much to hide why movie met with turmoil, that this avatar had companion/wife and daughter, then Matt's part was WAYYYY to close to in Hebrew and Latin spells, some not certain, did someone contact producers to make excuse to remove from NBC broadcast? Amazing that Hollywood was able to get this close to a nerve in one/more people who DO know the truth how close the scenes are to real magick making Occult things happen.

You do remember Occult/hidden world always all around us this world but at higher level,frequency, making sight/sound not commonly known, therefore when happens most people from usual religious blinding have no idea what just happened. Matt's part had fun explaining to these blinded minds as people like myself who critique in IMDb have assured people of odd events what happened quite normal for/in that world seen/heard here. You're not going crazy, just not informed by those clergy who wanted you oblivious to the unabashed truth. They prefer you think you're hallucinating from a brain illness. Yes, their lies listened to.

Anyway, IMDb, it is hoped that what you read here in editing makes connections with STREAMING NETWORK ONLY that WILL take on our much missed t.v. show. Hulu has, but now needs to continue as series aside repeats.

I agree with Jonfreid, and personally the story twists
7 July 2015
Been following the saga since the start including t.v. series till no more. Lena, Sarah Conner, t.v., was also king's wife in 300 those who pay attention.

To the addition of Jonfreid critique, the flow of story was great as the first Terminator in taking us to why Pandora's box, Skynet, sought to go past to kill Sarah. Sgt. Reese knows she dies, humans out of machine run world. Pandora's box loses hope. You ever took course in Greek myth, and know why word myth used for people who cannot cope with truths of ancient past the world was, you know why I am using. Same as those with rejection of Maha Bahrata account of Thera in Atlantis 11,000 years ago, because past/present alleged scholars want to dismiss ancient people knew our same and greater, from not coping that truth. Truth like anti gravity if you know where Tesla was going to take us next.

Same Terminator saga is in showing story idea that time displacing would be to our 2015, if something as this were happening and, Gov. agency did the usual "cover" to keep from public as this saga has portrayed from start. Why do we hear people proclaimed crazy because peculiar event takes place but the perceptive are not there to deal, just daily folks routine lives. The two detectives scene showed this well. Watch for it.

Arnold did his usual funny with machine smile regular human might get attention too looking psychotic, a terminator not made to pass for. The humor he was given to show was its own. That it is explained he was sent back to Sarah's childhood this time shows Skynet fury to change past. Logical network learns emotional reaction in not ridding humans? We can take this back to 1968 HALL 9000, 1970 Colossus, the Forbin Project story. Even tells humans they will learn to love it. Skynet showing it learn to hate losing to humans.

All this because science does not mean wisdom. Today means ridiculously expensive contracts and messing with earth/nature some news reports get to show terrible effects. There are too many to share this critique that relate this movie.

You want an adventure story with twists, GO SEE THIS MOVIE.

Tomorrowland (2015)
10/10
A beautiful Tomorrow
23 May 2015
My salute to Disney productions for this story. Why? From engineer/science perspective, when the recollection technique in story is used to begin, much clearer perception takes place for grasping what is what. Why? We get retrospect usually how parts came together and content assembled. This story allowed Hugh Laurie to portray some villainous in a WANTING ALL for the world he lives of that dimension. That dimension made me wish the world seen/heard now was it. The point of story intent without revealing.

For we who grew up during 1960s, I would love if what was portrayed were what is typically now. This is where outside this story we are not now courtesy of what Wash DC is not letting THE PEOPLE'S tax monies NOT be what should. Yes, this story has some very potent messages as past Disney movies have been known for. PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION, you will see/hear.

Well done Disney for a cleverly made movie present effects have allowed.

Love the Austrailian bleak future MAD MAX known
23 May 2015
This story given Excellent based on my devote' to this saga NOT losing its caliber. WHAT???? Much of this genre for this saga kept its bizarre content very well. What indeed would this country go to IF, it allowed itself to become a wasteland? Most of it already is interiorly for those of map looking.

Good to see familiar face of C.Theron from her commercials and Ridley Scott/Prometheus movie. She was admirably convincing in this part as one of two people bringing down the tyrant symbol all the people at story start wanted freedom. WHAT ELSE IS NEW? Those marvelous chase scenes need you allowing them to slowly show you why some vehicles appear how are. Well done again.

What I would like to see is this saga try showing this bleak future showing the earth allowing gradual rejuvenation rewarding humans for having learned respect of the earth they knew.

12 Monkeys (2015–2018)
10/10
More excellent future scenario
4 March 2015
I am not for gloom/doom of future but this accent on a bout half way to 2050, invites HOW INCREDIBLY STUPID HUMANS CAN GET. Why? Terminator said it well in Arnold's line. IT'S IN YOUR NATUE TO DESTROY YOURSELVES.

To have idiots design plagues/viruses that can mass population kill millions of people puts humans in the PLAY GOD scenario, using bacterial strains.

Make you think of people NOW charged with murder, no matter degree, and make them look civil because a virus ONLY has to get transmitted to do its damage WITHOUT a murder weapon and attack method.

12 Monkeys using time travel to undo the idiocy does well in the persistent hunt for who/what the culprit was that let this purging EVER take place.

Consider the LAST ATLANTIS 11,000 years past and the never ending pursuit of why anyone wants to know the gravity, of what happened to end a people far ahead of our present, and how research has been going into watery depths to know how much water purged the earth of the terrible action that buried evidence in that grave worldwide.

12 Monkeys simply gives us a dark place Mr. Cole is to keep trying and reach that past so 2043 never happens. Touche'

Scorpion (2014–2018)
10/10
With all the junk of this media, how Scorpion this to you?
4 November 2014
"Beneath contempt" I watch both programs. How about that? Maybe being amongst senior I.S. geeks this show gives hope in writing/directing t.v. shows that category, based on how much these shows strain to NOT BE STUPID.

Scorpion for you is based on what? You are aware how many real people are diagnosed ADD and variations because this show's portrayal of the genius level, most people have been brainwashed they are nothing. HAVE BEEN THERE by clergy, schooling, etc. When one wakes out of it, LOOK OUT!!!! You are most welcome to be discontent and I presume NO MORE watching series. Good! Other things to give your time.

Blessings

Ironside (2013)
10/10
Blair and crew, you are NOT boring
17 October 2013
Blair, it is good to see an Afro detective replace Mr, Burr this role. You are, without plagiarizing, touching on the accent parts of Perception and Elementary well portrayed in the NYPD, versus the typical cop protocols, well done.

Loved the well choreographed hand defense scene the Oct 16th episode party shot with young lady. What Bones has taught to those who know the simple technique to subdue trouble.

My hope is this New Ironside saga will go for a quite long run with writers and directors of competent skill. The saga is wide open to the evolution of characters to face NYC could face. Thank you.

Sleepy Hollow (2013–2017)
10/10
Sleepy Hollow is not sleeping, terrific for FOX TV
17 October 2013
I am loving this GREAT potential of show, mixing the magic spell induced time travel 18th century, allowing Tom's character to awake our time to resolve a mystery started in the past, by dark forces his time comprehends the powers to be dealt, versus how much our present has rationalized by ignoring through religion apostasy.

When was the last time YOU crossed spiritual experience and people assumed it crazy? This show has some subtle teachings for those of disbelief.

My hope is that the writers will keep good scripts coming and direction will not put the actors to story absurdity, as many other shows are doing to GOOD and GREAT actors, show's budgets are being wasted on productions of ill used pocket books. Please keep productions coherent worthy, thanks.

How 9/11 Should have been reacted this portrayal
15 April 2013
Bear with this critique of titled movie but this excellently written and directed production gave us "close" shots of what scrambled fighters do when aircraft are in U.S. air space, NOT flight planned near nation's capitol, in this case C 130 cargo plane, equipped with itself being an arsenal at pilot control panel touch to blast its way into the air space of white house. The rest is done by unexpected ground forces appearing to be tourist.

Olympus, in this story is the code named president's bunker meant to NOT be able to breach. Butler's character gets to the line about the well trained the breach is to accomplish this NOT expected. Yes, definite accent on the REAL 9/11 what was done by other means than this story. If you are wondering "other means" ask students at Oxford what they answered Diane Sawyer a news program when asked what they thought of 9/11. They were NOT duped as most Americans what to believe because they too noted the inconsistence of event.

What indeed would be IF this bombardment took place. The first hint in story beginning took place winter 18 months before. Most I will share to NOT spoil for those still wanting to see. Regular ticket price well spent too IF not bargain time.

If you have noted critiques put IMDb before by writer's Email, know that I DO NOT put excellent to many productions. Most DO NOT rate high quality in the assembly of producing. A movie budget would have been better spent else where. For the money, wise use helping the needy would have been better used thank many movies produced. This movie is NOT in that category. Gerald Butler did well as he was King Leonidus in "300" for those who wondered why the lead character looked familiar.

As for language, ONLY the puritan of heart who still want to keep the "Ozzy and Harriet" days standards going MAY be gasping at the fact that when people are furious at a situation, nice wording ceases or, have you folks chosen to NOT hear people verbally curse?

Elementary (2012–2019)
10/10
Elementary speaking, thank you CBS
14 January 2013
Elementary speaking, sorry if this show misses for some watchers. I relish these type productions where writer/directors show cranial use ACTUALLY used, in how our main character Jonny Lee Miller, formerly ELI STONE, visions answered attorney dilemma, got some answers as Jonny is now Sherlock noting the MANY clues of scenarios given. I relate as an engineer.

INTELLIGENT WRITING is the key in t.v. and movies. Why? The, Blake, complex. Robert Blake, in the 80s warning, that EVER LOWER production standards would gradually show. Not morality. That is per country/culture. I.e. Sweden has condom ads our U.S. broadcast rules shudder from Neo Puritan reaction MOST brainwashed by religion here. What, you were procreated in lab? No, the quality of entertainment writing that makes Jersey Shore watchers MAYBE go, I don't get this, QUALITY. I watched 5 minutes Jersey once. What is the POINT of Jersey Shore? What of Snookie, hoopla?

A Jersey Shore fan is MOST welcome to tell me what is in this show.

Elementary joins the quality of MAKE YOU THINK shows. LOST, made its viewers think ABC network. If you are amongst those of NOT much cranial use, I see/hear enough each day, such shows are probably not.

Thank you CBS for choosing such shows.

Merlin (2008–2012)
10/10
Farewell beloved Merlin series
7 January 2013
From an American perspective of this BBC series, my commendations to the crew of writers/directors for well "homeworked", Merlin Latin spell sounded words research and other, had to be done to make sound back to the Latin's of Rome', where the Wiccan arts had SOME of their start, before Magi to the Seth son who replaced Abel son of Adama in the "Hebrew". This is from the Gnostic level. Merlin, as Harry Potter, has been splendidly enjoyed when MOST TV U.S. has lived up to what Robert Blake, Barreta, warned/shared Merv Griffin show the 80s what would come to pass from "pocket book producers" no idea well done story content, etc. Most astute people simply demand Higher caliber t.v./movies. Merlin, and Harry Potter, did this. The remainder is masses of people finding some spiritual feed to their religion starving, it is NOT designed to give. It would, had it NOT been meddled before 1000 AD. Merlin's time was circa 8th century. You are welcome to research HOW MUCH meddling done before 1000 AD, the Ecumenical Council of 553 AD in Constantinople. Touche' producers. Here is hoping the Syfy channel "Continuum" will MAYBE fill some of the mystic Merlin gave us.

Last Resort (I) (2012–2013)
10/10
Last Resort is a definite 10
6 November 2012
I can see the many I am amongst in the reception of this show. Not since "Crimson Tide" has this addition been added to a submarine story that dares to show WHAT IF a conspiracy of U.S. government, wanted to make a naval vessel be accused of firing missiles NOT FIRED to start an international mayhem, what would the Captain and crew be faced from NOT following a contrary order from a secondary command post versus Washington DC? Reader, do you have ANY idea how close the writers are pointing the audience to events of past happening? The Captain symbolizes a discerning person who knows HOW protocols are designed to assure that ATTACK procedures are not blindly followed. 911 has gotten how many Americans to NOT think of what happened that day in ALL THE MAYHEM? My commendations to the writers of this t.v. script how far and long this series will go.

America Revealed (2012– )
10/10
Mr Kwon, don't stop now, you have an excellent show
9 July 2012
This critique from an engineer background nothing but admires what was learned Public t.v.

There were also powerful truths brought out in the transportation system episode in Los Angeles, regarding how past decades trolley systems are now being realized needed again because, freeway gridlock made by the conspirators GMC, Standard Oil, Firestone were determined post WWII make L.A. into what is automobile seen today.

The only refute would come from idiot attorneys using corporate law to protect their corporation from the obvious wrongs started then, to make what we see today.

The mention of bridges being asphalt stripped where trolley tracks HAD been covered to make new the use of trolley cars again speaks for itself.

Mr Kwon, keep America Revealed going and thanks.

Off Limits (2011– )
10/10
For we who cannot venture where our host goes
9 July 2012
It should be made super clear to the Travel Channel you are doing Highly excellent broadcasting Off Limits with Mr Wildman. Why? To those who bother giving time to informative t.v. the obvious shows for itself while being explained How/Why what happens in/at places the public would NOT be given typical access.

The ONLY competition close to Off Limits is Public t.v. patiently waiting to see If America Revealed will continue with more of what makes the U.S. function. Mr Kwon does well in sharing to us the internal/external workings of daily/nightly activities making business routines keep the nation going.

Please keep this showing ever going.

Prometheus (I) (2012)
10/10
Critics who cannot appreciate Mr Scotts work
3 July 2012
Other critics are choosing blind to the great Ridley gave this.

He gives us 2089 year, where, what is found in Scotland, to 2093 to find the starship nearing light years away planet's moon where mysteries will unfold.

Here is the Alien series place the Nostromo crew went to investigate the beacon their ship's system detected, that the end of Prometheus WILL tie us to, when the huge ship discovered is crashed landed showing why the Nostromo crew found this remnant.

I am generalizing to NOT be clear, A MUST SEE for fans of Ridley Scott's work in movies, not counting t.v. as the Numbers series, so you fans CAN draw your own conclusions, worthy or not.

Missing (1982)
10/10
Don't mess with a mom's son
3 April 2012
Ashley Judd and production people, take a bow. This ABC show has great potential if allowed to keep going in numerous aspects of mother striving to regain her son's life.

There is nothing but admiration for who is showing Ashley well done choreographed and consulted combative scenes, wished more women knew outside of Hollywood use, where all body blunt parts and near objects can be made a weapon against aggressors those scenes. This is close enough to what some G agencies people do have to know, any part of the world sent, commonly called "gorilla warfare" because no one but you is there to keep you protected.

Only CBS "A Person of Interest" matches this in what James portrays former elite military knowing, one person soldier, takes quite a lot to overcome him.

Here is looking forward to more Missing.

Out Standing Perspection of Indigo Child
3 April 2012
The producers could not have done better in putting this story idea together than what has been shown thus far.

Indigo child Jake, is showing the audience the conscious universe affecting peoples lives being corrected through numbered messages Sutherland's character coupled with Glover's insight, to unscramble what has to happen to undo various situations gone wrong. Jake is merely the receptor in his mostly silent part.

Those who saw Jodi Foster in "Contact" may have clearly heard her say the line, "mathematics, the language of the universe", Mr Sagan would have us comprehend how meager, therefore, mundane most humans are figuring why something happening.

Fox TV, keep this new series coming because NBC "Awake" series is already covering the duo worlds idea in the detective character, secretive something is striving to keep the detective from a truth of what happened in the accident that appears to have been meant to kill him, wife and son he survived. Conjecture at this time of critiquing.

Mention of "Awake" given to cover two shows at one time.

Green Lantern (2011)
10/10
Green with delight Lantern was fantastic
12 January 2012
I give this manner rating when a production has gone to the level GL did to have narration explain the whole reason this character is, and why from the universe perspective for the earth.

Consider how many productions Never get to this. Batman waited till The Beginning to show Bruce Wayne evolving to crime fighter via Wayne Enterprizes "marvelous toys" the first movie "Joker" stated.

For GL another case of human with no clue he has what is needed to be chosen by the light to police earth versus beyond test pilot. Here are traits of Luke Skywalker not knowing his Jedi potential comparison.

I look forward to the sequel the ending left wide open for those who stayed the credits to see the teacher character partake the yellow light of fear/evil. Astute movie makers do this as was Terminator 2 that Could have shown Sarah Connor grandmother park scene, Judgement Day did not happen, but then want of well done further saga and t.v. show? Producers of GL, take a bow on Well Done.

This was a hellacious Hellraiser
12 January 2012
By Hellacious I refer to weak story premise versus past ones of this saga, where the last "known" took place stellar space, and built up to something more than a young teen not fulfilling what Pinhead wanted to play with of pain.

If this is not what Mr Barker expected the journey of Bevis and Butthead type characters, it came through as such. I note that Mr Barker did not direct. This happened in the first episode too.

If filling in dialog with mindless use of profane words was meant to add zest to production, a terrible loss to giving good story content making us think what is coming. Profane words when expressing scene energy makes some sense as we typically do some days/situations.

Please, no further disappointments. 3 out of 10 being polite.

Terra Nova (I) (2011)
2149 AD Star Trek, Enterprise meets Terra Nova future
1 November 2011
Now at this point in the Terra Nova saga, inhabitants are remembering how 2149 was versus 85,000,000 new present via a crack in time fabric doorway.

Star Trek Enterprise series was based on 2150 decade, space travel in progress because of what Zephraim Chocran had done in 2063 making wrap drive success opening earth to galactic potentials.

Mr Roddenberry saw humans evolve OUT of their infancy to travel beyond.

Mr Spielberg various writers took the gloomy approach of humans going the Soylent Green looking route, where humans have allowed themselves to so butcher the earth with; air itself mandates a rebreather mask, limited children per family, some people eating scraps, shall I go on? This is not condemnation but a powerful message of two roads to choose writing, seen back to sci fi into the sixties of desolate future, from humans being SO stupid to IGNORE all the warnings of foolish choices.

In Terra Nova's own way, this part of time we live outside of Hollywood magick creating WHAT COULD BE, the saga is a GOOD reminder based on what IS actually happening in the environment surrounding our present world, and we are not even to 2049 yet.

Sanctuary (2008–2011)
Keep script integrity going
25 October 2011
Sanctuary, being a unique saga with abnormals, created immortals, and unknown worlds daily earth dwellers have not a clue, will continue to SciFi thrive, AS LONG AS writers/directors keep in mind how Gene Roddenberry scrutinized Star Trek stories. What?!!!! Connection? Robert Blake, Barretta, from the 80s, said it WELL, while Merv Griffin show alive. Robert stated expectation of shows/movies to come because of SOME pocketbook producers. It was a warning how productions COULD become, based on how much is lost because QUALITY lessens. This is NOT condemning EVERYTHING, just what applies.

Therefore, for Sanctuary, nothing BUT Unique/Quality writing/directing can keep we fans tuned, versus finding better shows. For this fan of many is why time NOT given idiot shows that are wondered why they were made. Love live Sanctuary!

Once Upon a Time (2011–2018)
A 10 or A+ for now for Once Upon
25 October 2011
ONCE, cast and crew have been doing marvelous in putting whole new twists on making two worlds co exist. Mr. Gold, Robert, I am glad to see the FUN you are having in Rumple. You also did wonderfully as Dr. Rush in SGU, thanks. Jennifer, what a FAR cry from House M.D. bless your lovely heart. __________________________________________________________________

Once Upon a Time coming attractions stated that MORE depth is yet to come how/why the fairy tales long known became. This opens new territory to these folklore that till now have only been, HAPPLY EVER AFTER.

Writers, keeping the caliber shown in the first episode, will keep the audience pondering, similar to how LOST did, keeping we fans wondering how what is, ties together.

Since there is GREEN SCREEN allowing virtual, this production should have no problems taking us to worlds the only live are people fitting characters.

Now the NBC's GRIMM has been recognized, but NOT plagiarizing ABC's Once Upon, leaving Grimm characters to hunt down odd creatures TAKING human form to be in our present, WELL DONE.

This should be a BREAK for actual people who were diagnosed CRAZY because something THEY were not believed heard or seen. There are Greater truths on the earth than dogmas have allowed known. Watch your religious leaders IF you pose this to them.

Entertaining Angels Unaware, biblical? Well.......
12 September 2011
Angels? Did you note the scene where Daemon's character ask about this? If you saw "Heaven can Wait" W. Beatty or "It's a Wonderful Life" J. Steward, this story has similar WITHOUT plagiarizing in that Daemon's character was never supposed to meet Blunt's character but, love won out over the destiny of political career meant to be his because, he challenged what the universe wanted him doing, clearly pointed out by Terence Stamp, Character actor, many productions i.e. General Zod first "Superman" movie. Yes, I strive to keep track movie and t.v. faces and the web confirms.

Even these "door using" adjuster beings show surprise how a human would not take NO for answer from his destiny, when Daemon's character determined to keep this love of his life to great heights, top of a building no where to run to be exact.

I could not agree more also with Terence, this is finally NOT another remake of past movie, so many productions are, merely altering some of the original parts. Only WELL DONE altering deters from boring us who remember i.e. remake of "Day the Earth Stood Still" K. Reeves from '51 classic good. Take a bow A. Beareu.

Alphas (2011–2012)
Absolutely brilliant as some Indigo children are showing
7 September 2011
"I am the Alpha and Omega." Ever thought what this ancient writing content held?

Syfy, you have taken a bold step in t.v. broadcasting story form. How? For those waiting for what 2012 will take this world into, this show can be considered an insight to the end of present Piscean Age, that year and the beginning of whole Aquarius, where that world will have what these characters are portrayed common place. Right now, most such people become as the recent episode Summer Glau guest starred, trying to rid herself of power crazed people after her gift to exploit and toddler daughter character crayoning esoteric mathematics symbolizing what an incarnation here CAN remember from the spirit world where EVERYTHING IS KNOWN.

Sound crazy reader? Review earth's ancient past, to the present we are, has highly forgotten how this world has been reduced presently to myth, legend, folklore because apathy/dark powers do NOT want all humans to know their gifts as t.v. production is able to technically create for us such Hollywood magic does. Note these characters are recluse?

Again thank you Syfy because this is a courageous production in what entertains we who look for more than meager, mindless, story telling. Take a bow.

Into the West (2005)
9/10
Not bad for the Hollywood try
1 July 2005
Excuse the summary chosen, but this version of history is always ONLY so depicted how we whose grandfathers lived then, would tell you how close productions are not.

This isn't saying all wrong. It is saying, careful. "500 Nations" years back was by many tribes told where the producers could go, in their hoping inaccuracies would be aloud made into script about how the past was for tribal. It needs strong remembering how much tribal only asked "its way of life in peace", versus the perpetual problems generated by Anglos history from European ways of constantly fighting over land and power craze, turning this nation into the needless tribulations this t.v. series is daring to show.

I.e. the seen where Graham Greene's character people's tribe are victimized from a cow claimed stolen, not so, showed the garbage tribal was subject by war mongering military bias toward the first culture in this land. This isn't counting what the "drunk" translator refused to tell the bias officer causing what happened. Consider this next time you're hearing what is being translated in present news media from foreign nations speakers, unless you know the linguistics.

Into the West needs care in not portraying tribal stupid enough to get in the path of stampeding "tatunka" buffalo. This would not be the way of Lakota warriors hunting, jeopardizing other tribal members. Tribal ways do not take practicing stupidity as a virtue. Non tribal ways are their own as seen by what the descendants have done to the present century.

The gold rush scene of 2 men dying for huge gold nugget was good, in showing how greed over "plenty" for both could make people then. Amazing! They had the gold or it had them? Consider what this mineral DIDN'T mean to tribal all the way into Montezuma's empire. Only to the Spaniards.

I give Steve S. production credit where due. When it comes to tribal, truth is highest above all shown in certain scenes regarding subtitles shown. Excellent! The allowance of false amongst most Anglos may be a painful truth "cleverly" teaching the listening audience from this series, there is a choice in culture to either or not keep integrity of word.

Consider the last time you dealt with deceit and treachery supposed to benefit you. Now consider how it is portrayed to tribal in this series. Thank you
