I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I added this title to my collection due to the following:1-Solid acting for the genre. 2-Character development 3-Attractive women 4-An interesting plotPredicated upon the above, it met the criteria I have established to watch every few years. As has been noted, though, if you are one who demands multi-million dollar effects and constant action, you will probably be disappointed.

There seems to be a certain standard that SciFi must force their movie to adhere to because what other explanation can there there be for a consistency of bland, badly acted and boring stories. Here we have another fantasy adventure which utterly lacks both. Would it have really been that hard to come up with a few novel twists on the genre? With feature films pushing the edges of story telling and concept, are these scripts and filmmakers really the best SciFi can come up with? you would think a show like Battlestar Galactica would have shown it can be done. Or is it a matter of saving a few dollars? Even the Seeker TV show now on is dreadful. Everything is fantasy is recycled it seems. I am excited for next year in film and TV. My hope is the new Conan film along with Red Sonja, Thor, John Carter on Mars will put fantasy and imagination back into this genre. I even have hope for a low budget effort like Tales of an Ancient Empire (yes it has Kevin sorbo and Christopher Lambert, but I loved The Sword and the Sorcerer so I'll give it a try). My hope is to once again see imagination and creative ideas in these efforts (I can not call them films). Please Sci Fi, spend a little more time and money to get better people in front of and behind the camera.

For any sci-fi or fantasy fan, or any good TV series or Film for that matter, this pilot will seem cliché, repetitive,unimaginative,un-insipiring,poorly directed and poorly executed. Continuity is absent, the characters are as superficial and un-involving as they can be. Even Christopher Loyd's performance was nothing like his usual level. Total waste of money, time, and effort. The script was the main cause of all of this, and the direction finished the job and sealed it's fate. The audience doesn't relate to the characters, nor does it care what happens to them. The actors were not helping out at all with their performance.

I do not want to summarize the plot, but I would like to recommend it, as I actually thought it was a little better than the normal Sci-Fi Channel movies (the ones they produce or sponsor or whatever you want to call the "B" Movies they show that are brought to you by the Sci-Fi Channel). I watch their movies because I love sci-fi & fantasy stuff so much, I even manage to get through the worst of them, some of which often have me wincing at the writing, acting and special effects, but I thought the acting in this, the writing, and the character development was noticeably better than the ones I usually see. Cudos to Sci-Fi Channel. While, I would still consider it a "B" Movie, it is a move in the right direction. Thanks.
