Movie Reviews of Red Dwarf VIII
Movie Review: Another great DVD from the Dwarfers
Summary: 3 Stars
After series 7, series co creator and writer Doug Naylor decided to take the show back to it's roots with series 8. First setting it back on Red Dwarf and reviveing the entire original crew. There are some great comedy moments in this season but most of the time i felt as though i was watching a half arsed version of the great comedy classic. You would think with Rimmer and Holly back along with the Skutters that the show would go right back to it's comedy roots but unfortunatly it all seems wrong somehow. The jokes don't feel as witty or as clever as the other series, in fact i found some of the jokes to be embarassing and painfully unfunny. All in all series 8 is a big let down. Thankfully the BBC appeared to have delivered the goods once again with the DVD extras so it's not all bad news and there are some good episodes in here such as 'Cassandra' and 'Krytie TV' which are two of my personal favourites from this season.Movie Review: For die-hard fans only...
Summary: 3 Stars
I give season 8 a 3-star rating, which is relative to other tv shows. Compared to Red Dwarf at its finest (seasons 1-5), I think it's barely a 2.
By season 8 the show was only a pale shadow of its former self. I'm shocked at how un-funny it is. Also, the actors have noticeably aged...their characters are meant to be twenty-something not, middle-aged.
Back in the early 90s, Chris Barrie said he hoped Red Dwarf would have a "proper ending", i.e., wouldn't go on unnecessarily. Sadly, that didn't come about due to the long gap between seasons 6 and 7 and the enormous popularity of the series. It's a real shame that season 8 is apparently the end of Red Dwarf, since the long-anticipated movie probably won't happen now (and I think the tv cast are too old for it now anyway). Red Dwarf RIP (1988-1999) :(
Movie Review: Not as bad as some have said
Summary: 3 Stars
OK, so this isn't the finest season of Red Dwarf. But I held off buying it for a while based on some of the reviews. Really, it's not as bad as some reviews would have you believe. The writing is not as crisp as in the previous series, and I wasn't entirely thrilled with the "resurrect the crew and throw the gang in prison" plot line.
But it has it's moments, and it's still worth watching if you've seen the rest of the series.
