    Diagonaldi Very well executed
    Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
    Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
    Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
    kevinlindacooper One of the best Tv sci-fi series I have ever watched ! (and I have watched a lot ! )
    mkaraman-74329 I had started watching Fringe when it aired in my country, and at first, I didn't really understand ... I decided to watch again from the beginning. Dr.Walter Bishop's character was the best acted and John Noble is great. Like any great TV drama, Fringe deserves a film at the end. This is one of my favorite shows because it has some interesting religious ideas. In my opinion, Fringe is the best show in the science fiction category on T.V.
    Ahmad Radi I just finished watching this TV masterpiece today and I created an account on IMDb just to write my opinion. I had seen a couple of episodes in the original run, and being a fan of The X-Files I thought that one day I'll give it a shot. Before watching the series I read the reviews and I wasn't that happy but I still thought the few scenes I saw for John Noble deserved a chance. And God am I happy I did, it was wonderful. Of course to be honest, the science sometimes wasn't convincing, and being a doctor I was disappointed by the easy mistakes. Also as I have read in other reviews, Peter's history is a question mark (If the observers never existed, then September couldn't have distracted Walternate, who would have realized that he had reached a cure. So Walter wouldn't have taken him). But on the other hand we have the background story and the relationships that grew with every season to take over and become the main attraction. And boy did they succeed, the family that evolved throughout the series and the pure emotions were so enjoying to watch. Then we have the actors. I was not at all surprised to see the genius portrayal of John Noble to his character, it was Golden Globe level. And at last ANNA TORV, she is simply BEAUTIFUL. The way she understood Olivia's history and how it showed in every scene was amazing. The clear difference between the two Olivia's, made us all understand the pain behind "If you looked in her eyes you would've known she wasn't me". The transition in Olivia's character and how she gradually let down her guard when she became surrounded by the people she loved, was done perfectly expressed and easily perceived. ANNA TORV's brilliance will soon be recognized.
    bluesquirrel2004 A friend recently recommended this show to me. On that high recommendation, I purchased the first season.What a mistake! I made it to episode 12 before I finally gave up. This show is clichéd, poorly written, poorly acted and poorly executed.One thing I demand of any sci-fi show is plausibility, regardless of the story line.So we seem to have a mismatched band of characters that are saving the city or world every episode.We have Olivia, who is supposedly an ex-marine but there is nothing about her bearing that remotely resembles military... except her amazing ability to dodge every single bullet that is shot at her... some point blank.We have a 150+ IQ genius that has next to no bearing on any outcome in the stories.And we have the brilliant genius that has been in legal isolation for 17 years, but somehow has been able solve EVERY SINGLE problem without help outside the core group, using his 1970's era equipment. How is that possible? Imprisoned in isolation for 17 years, but is somehow current on latest advances and techniques and is orders of magnitude better than any other scientist on the planet? And how is he a scientist of everything. So far he has been a scientist in Biology, Biochemistry, Medicine, Pharmacology, Epidemiology, Veterinary, Chemical Engineering, Physics- Theoretical and Applied etc. Scientists devote themselves to one or two fields in a lifetime, and most never achieve high status, yet this scientist is expert in dozens of fields.As an example of the twisted logic used in this show. The scientist was in legal isolation with a court order stating that only immediate family could visit. So we are supposed to believe that the CIA, NSA, FBI and DoHS could not organise a visit to the scientist. But, and this is the ludicrous part of it, the son could have the scientist released into his custody! So nobody could visit him, but we can have him released to visit the world!! And why is it that every problem that has occurred has happened before? And why are the perpetrators of these crimes somehow always connected to these three people?Not enjoyable and very frustrating to watch. Another show that uses the "solved just in time" story telling technique.
