Movie Reviews of Seaquest DSV: Season Two
Movie Review: What is wrong with you people?
Summary: 1 Stars
The first season of Seaquest was watchable, but this is utter garbage. Some of the only amusing characters are dumped and the entire Seaquest universe is changed from one of a semi-realistic future to complete fantasy. It is like the series was pillaged for every scrap of originality and likability it had and was replaced with a sorry copy-of-a-copy template into which the characters and story were forcibly inserted. Roy Scheider was correct to call the stories of season 2 "childish trash" and it no wonder he abandoned this debacle of a series evolution after this season. I never write reviews, but I was stunned that no one had given this only 1 star so I had to stand up. The fact that Seaquest starts the series in the Ocean and ends it with Seaquest on some other planet fighting aliens that look like rejected dummies from a bad 1980's horror movie should be enough to convince you to steer clear if you still have any doubts. This is so bad, you can't even laugh. The urge I kept getting was to render myself unconscious.Movie Review: Old Roads
Summary: 3 Stars
It was nice to see this show again especially given the recent death of Roy Scheider. With the massive leaps made regarding effects, some of the episodes now look a little cheesey. But overall I have to say I'm pleased to have purchased this series for nostelgic reasons.Movie Review: excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie is great, showed up exactly how it described in good condition with fast service.
The movie is enjoyable
Movie Review: What a crock!
Summary: 2 Stars
People should be embarrassed by this hackneyed cliched drivel. It is very telling that each season the network reworked it trying to find an audience. Every tired old scifi cliche is dragged out and tried in an attempt to find an audience. How it ever got three seasons is a mystery. Today it wouldn't get three episodes. Movie Review: Review
Summary: 4 Stars
As an avid sci-fi fan, I very much liked this season. As a rabid seaQuest fan, I didn't.
Hard to explain to someone who has never seen the series. But I'll try.
I really loved the characters in season one, and their relationships with one another. But many didn't come back for a second season.
So instead of the in-your-face, powerful-when-needed screen presence of Dr. Kristin Westphalen, a believable love interest for the Captain, believable surrogate mother for Lucas, we get some mind-reading, less than steller character called Dr. Wendy Smith. I didn't like that the writers tried to involve her with Bridger - thankfully, it didn't work. And I didn't like that Westphalen's departure wasn't mentioned at all. (and neither were any of the other characters who departed) With the season one finale, and the character's growing releationship with Bridger, I expected to hear at least a small mention of her.
Also departing were Engineer Katie Hitchcock, Ben Krieg, and Chief Crocker. The studio wanted younger actors . . . . These characters and their histories were so well developed, I think this was a bad move on the studio's part.
They were replaced by talented actors, but, after caring about what happened to the characters from season 1, I was less interested in caring about a new set who may very well disappear in season 3. (which did happen . . . )
This season had far more of a sci-fi feel to it, which I would have loved (being a fan of ST:TNG, Star Wars, Earth 2 and so many others) had the first season not so fully hooked me into the believability of what could actually happen if man colonized the sea.
A fully telepathic doctor, a character with gills (not so believable, though I did like the character), a genetically engineered character, took the series in a complete other direction from the first season. It was so dramatic, I, like so many others, were turned off it during its first run.
The acting was still very good, but the direction of the stories to complete science fiction, did put me off a lot since I so very much enjoyed the first season.
And there were no extra features on season 2. At least season 1 had deleted scenes!
Now, I want it to round out my collection, same with season 3 if its ever released. Not my favorite, but still enjoyable to watch, nonetheless.
