Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

kosmasp Or unlucky as it seems. Because even though it got to make a whole season (there are a lot of projects out there that get canned way before that), it also could've gone a lot longer (that's just a guess of course, but there is always material to continue a story, be it with some of the remaining cast or entirely new people, depending on the outcome of the show you're watching).While the show has some regulars and it stretches logic thin from time to time, there are many factors that make this worth your time. Taylor Cole would be one of them and the character she is playing. Even though her motives and character are getting simpler by the minute, the overall drama does compensate for that. Jason Ritter who might remind you a lot of his father, plays the main role and has to switch gears from time to time. The science fiction part with the "not enough time" part of every episode spice up the drama.Morality wise this tries to be gray and as open as possible, but sometimes misses out on that by miles. There are quite a lot of inconsistencies surrounding a lot of things and reveals that don't make sense. But if you stick with it, it will/might give you what you were looking for. Don't know if this ever continues (imdb still has it as "open"), but whatever the case, you could watch it as it is and still be entertained

SnoopyStyle There is a plot to kill the president. Apparently the way to do it is to fly a plane into the President's son's birthday party. Then there's the wormhole. So many things wrong. Why would flying a plane into an open area be effective? This thing went wrong right from the start.Sean Walker (Jason Ritter) is on the hunt for his kidnapped girl Leila Buchanan (Sarah Roemer) after she disappeared on a trip. This is the most interesting storyline for me and the most disappointing. Jason Ritter is pretty good. But let's just say that Sarah Roemer lack the acting skills. I tried hard to defend her at the beginning. She's real pretty to look at, but not much else. She is the most infuriating character, and that storyline totally frustrated me. The rest is just a jumble of wild sci-fi writings. At some point, I didn't care about any of it. One season was definitely more than enough.

primacag-219-477782 You know, the initial concept was good, but the script writing was horrible, predictable, and poor. The main plot device wasI want to trust you but at the last minute someone else did something that makes it so I can't. Or.... how do I get you to do what I want in spite of the fact that you think I am lying to you...The plot drifts. Parts of it never really make sense. The Event that the title comes from never materializes and it looks like it was supposed to be the main focus of a second season that didn't happen. The political aspects are completely unrealistic unless you are 12 years old and dealing with siblings. The "science" is silly and unrealistic or made magical. The acting is stiff. Towards the end the music becomes overpowering in an effort to make the viewer feel that the plot is advancing when all too often the episode is just filling space. Not worth it... don't bother.

Tss5078 Let me guess, you've never heard of the Event? The show was yet another networks answer to Lost and this one had a real shot at success. The initial ratings were high, leading NBC to pick the show up for an entire season. As has become common place on NBC, after four episodes they took it off for weeks to promote some God awful reality show, and when they brought it back, it was on a new night and the rating plummeted. The Event had a terrific premise and has been called a meeting between 24 and the 4400, I couldn't agree more. 66 years ago, an alien ship crashed in Alaska, and the aliens aboard were not strange creatures, but were in fact nearly identical to us. The only difference being that the age at a much slower rate than we do. About half the crew escaped and tried to peacefully blend into society, but it was hard since they barely age, and often had to re-start their lives. The other group was locked up by the U.S. government until such time as their true reasons for being here could be explained. The series starts when a new President (Blair Underwood) takes office and learns of the prison. His first reaction is that they've never done anything wrong and he's planning to reveal them to the world and set them free, but someone doesn't want that to happen. This unknown force orchestrates this huge conspiracy to assassinate the President, while painting the aliens in a much different light. Most episodes are split into three separate stories that all relate to one another. The White House angel looks as though it could be right out of 24, as it is so similar to what we saw on FOX for 7 seasons. The aliens go from friend to foe and the President and his men, those who are actually his men, will stop at nothing to find the rest of them. The next part shows the aliens themselves lead by Sophia (Laura Innes) who has many different goals that frequently change and surprise you. It's this part of the storyline that I found to be the most enjoyable and interesting part of the show. The third sequence follows an ordinary couple that just happened to get caught in the middle, but may ultimately be the key to this whole thing. The writing for this show is as good as you will see on Television, it's not in quite as much detail as 24, and the timeline can be somewhat hard to follow, but never the less it's very well done. Unusual for this type of show is also the fact that there is no one person who you can call the star. Jason Ritter is the face that is most associated with the show, but he's not more important than anyone else, leading me to believe that his looks have something to do with it. Overall, The Event is another terrific show that was killed by network mismanagement. I sometimes wonder if these executives actually watch the shows they put on the air and realize what they have. There is no doubt in my mind, that if NBC hadn't put it on an 8 week hiatus and then changed it's time slot, that this show would be in the top 10 by now. Instead one of the most interesting shows to come along in years is another Nielsen casualty. For fans of the show, there is still some hope as for the past two years, the Syfy channel has been interested in doing a mini-series, with the possibility of re-launch should the ratings call for one. I am one of the people who will definitely be keeping his fingers crossed for that.
