Just so...so bad

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Have to say I was excit d to see Amanda Tapping after Stargate ended. This series grew on me over time and and like many other sci-fi that gets cancelled was sad to see it go. I was introduced to Actor Ian Tracey in this series and he does an amazing and very memorable job in the role of Adam Worth.

This is the hands-down best sci-fi series I've ever seen, and one of the best shows I've ever scene. Brilliant actors, exciting stories... historical figures cast in a light no on ever considered. The originality of the entire premise is amazing. This show ended way too soon.

I have attempted to watch sanctuary dozens of times and can't stand it for more than 10 minutes! I absolutely loved Amanda in stargate so watching her overact here with the worst English accent is unbearable! The story line had promise but went over the top with some of the creatures which were totally ridiculous! I did catch a few minutes the other night where a vampire like person was fighting another thing! The actors playing the parts were thin and not powerful looking even with the makeup and special effects! The fight scene was pathetic and didn't make me want to watch the show! I am a huge scifi fan and love alternative shows but this is awful! My main problem is with Amanda's accent which is so unnatural and not believable not to mention I hate most English accents anyway and I don't understand why she would be required to sound English! The other problem with the show is the storyline which falls short!

I had a lot of hope for this show when it first debuted. It has the talented Amanda Tapping at the helm and it started out with a really cool, creepy goth feeling to it that pre-dates a lot of the current vampiremania that's all over the big and little screens. Problem is, it feels like it's lost a lot of that uniqueness. The story lines can be very entertaining (especially when Tesla's in them) or they can feel like 20 minutes of story fluffed up to fill the hour-long slot that Sanctuary inhabits. Tapping's character is engaging but, as someone else noted in the comments section, it's all over the place and kind of distracting. I like Robin Dunne's character too, as the "everyman" former government nerd who gets sucked into a really strange and wild ride when he agrees to join forces with Team Magnus. Christopher Heyerdahl is just plain great playing shadowy "are they or aren't they" villainous types so it's good to see him move beyond his previously entertaining role as "Todd the Wraith" in SG:Atlantis. With no intended disrespect, I just can't cotton to either of the fast-talking, too-cool-for-school younger female characters played by Emilie Ullerup (first season) and Agam Darshi (later seasons). The actresses themselves were fine but the both of their characters (Ashley and Kate)were/are neither sympathetic nor likable. Here are two characters that could be great but the writers spend too much time trying to make them edgy and sarcastic rather than strong, capable and wry. Bummer. I hope the story lines get a little more interesting and I hope the writers at least try to build on the backgrounds of the characters more as well. Until then, I'll watch it when it gets back to it's truly interesting roots.
