Movie Reviews of Space Above and Beyond - The Complete Series
Movie Review: Flip the Disk Over!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know if you all are fans of Space Above and Beyond- but when I was a kid and this show was on TV, I absolutely loved it- it was one of the major reasons I decided to go the Naval Academy to be a Marine rather than to the Air Force Academy to fly jets! This show was simply awesome, and had a great aesthetic that we are seeing in modern Sci-Fi shows now like Battlestar Galactica and the new Star Trek. I highly recommend it.
Here is where I got in trouble- I was watching, and getting really confused because things seemed to be jumping ahead really fast. You need to flip the disk over! There are episodes on both sides. I had to back track to the beginning to watch the episodes I missed.
While this show could have really used a Battlestar sized budget for graphics, the actors are good, and the story line is clever. Two thumbs up!
Summary of Space Above and Beyond - The Complete Series
In this cult fan favorite, it's the year 2063. After 150 years of deep space exploration, the people of Earth feel certain they are alone in the universe. Then word comes that two Earth outposts light-years away from home have been brutally attacked by an advanced alien civilization. Now the new young recruits of the United States Marine Corps Space Aviator Calvary are heading for the front lines of space in the toughest battle the world has even faced.The science fiction series Space Above and Beyond, which enjoyed a brief run in the 1995-96 season, was created by X-Files producers Glen Morgan and James Wong as a revision of the classic war series Combat!. Set in the not-too-distant future, Space Above and Beyond follows the adventures of five inexperienced Marines of the 58th Squadron, who are involved in a war against the Chigs, a race of aliens bent on conquering the Earth. Morgan and Wong gave their main characters intriguing personalities--Nathan West (Morgan Weisser) has joined the Marines to save a girlfriend captured by the aliens, while Rodney Rowland's Cooper is an artificially created human whose service is inspired by a desire to escape the violent prejudice he faces on Earth. The action and stories are gritty and dramatic, and put a fresh spin on traditional wartime stories--highlights include "The Enemy," in which the 58th is stranded behind enemy lines; "Toy Soldiers," in which West's younger brother is serving under a dangerously reckless lieutenant; and the two-part "If They Lay Us Down to Rest." and "Tell Our Moms We Done Our Best," which brought the series to a close with the Earth on the verge of peace talks with the aliens as the military launches a perilous operation. Commentary by Morgan and Wong and the cast would have been welcome, especially if the plans for the unseen second season could've been revealed, but unfortunately, no supplemental features are included in this slickly produced, no-frills set. --Paul Gaita
