Movie Reviews of Eureka: Season One
Movie Review: Delightful change of pace....
Summary: 5 Stars
Eureka is a delightful change of pace from the run of the mill SciFi channel offerings. Not too serious, but with the scifi in place, it's always interesting to see what exotic and unusual experiments have gone awry, and what the consequences are for the town. What's not to like, a town where Science is king, and the sceintists get to play with as many of their toys as they want, government funded to boot! The cast have grown into their respective characters very well, and each brings something to the show, and the personal interactons between characters is becoming well developed as well.
Along with Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis, the show is well written, the science makes sense, even if it's out there sometimes, you never know what's going to happen. I like this show and plan on buying season 2, 3,4,5 or how ever many seasons it lasts. It's a joy to watch and intriguing as well.
Movie Review: "Visit the town of Eureka....a place full of laughs and chaos."
Summary: 5 Stars
"Eureka" is a charming and fun show. It is filled with unique characters that care about each other and about the town. Even though there is a difference between the genius of the scientists and the logic of the sheriff-everyone in Eureka is part of a family. Besides the great characters in the show, something always happens in Eureka. In one of the special features, one of the writing team mentions that each idea for an episode starts with "real science" and then gets "Eurekasized". It goes from something that can be explained by science to something crazy. All of these factors make "Eureka" one of the funniest shows to watch. What makes this show really work is not the "funny lines" even though the writing is great, it is the characters that are funny. I look forward to what happens next in Eureka every week.Movie Review: WARNING WILL ROBINSON!!! DANGER!!! DANGER!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Cannot say enough about what a GREAT and inventive series this is - HOWEVER, BE WARNED: IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO *WATCH* THIS GEM THEN BE AWARE THAT IT COMES PACKAGED IN AN AMAZINGLY CRAPPY HARD STYROFOAM CASE INSERT EVER DEVISED WHICH VERY WELL MAY *DROP YOUR BRAND NEW DVDS ALL OVER THE FLOOR THE MOMENT YOU OPEN THE PACKAGE!!!
(*Reference: If your piece of buttered toast lands on the floor, WHICH side is going to land face DOWN 99 percent of the time?)
Regardless, NEVER, EVER trust this case to properly lock your DVDs in place properly! Consumer complaints actually forced the company to switch its internal packaging to plastic hubs for the second season. You can buy replacement adhesive hubs at Wal*Mart to salvage your existing case.
ENJOY!
Movie Review: Saw the marathon on Sci Fi channel...
Summary: 5 Stars
and was significantly impressed enough to buy the series on DVD. I consider myself a "hardcore" science fiction fan, and although the series can be flippant at times, it has entertaining plots that are just slightly beyond what is attainable through current technology. There is also an interesting subplot involving a "Tachyon Accelerator" which involves the first two and last episodes of the first season, as well as beyond; one is never sure of the ulterior motives of Henry Deacon (Joe Morton) as he mourns over his lost love as the series continues.
Conspiracy Theorists would love this series, as it deals with one small town in the Northwest being the source of all technological progress.
Movie Review: The Best Show On Television: You Need To Watch!
Summary: 5 Stars
Someone gifted me the pilot and second episode from itunes and I immediatly downloaded the entire first season. I'm going to be buying the dvd for the holidays: I'm waiting to see if they release the second season this december or wait a bit in which case I'll just get the first.
There are a lot of longer posts and summaries about this show so I'll just write why I love it: the actors, the writing, and the premise. This show gells together and hangs on in a way that Lost hasn't and Heroes does. It's got excellent production values and the futuristic look blends with the hear and now.
I love it. Tuesdays at 9 on SciFi for new episodes. Be there, you won't be disappointed.
