That was an excellent one.

People are voting emotionally.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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 love this show. That being said, it has some flaws. You can tell when it went downhill is when J.J. Abrams stopped working on it regularly. Season 1 is great, Season 2 is great, Season 3 was OK, Season 4 not so great, and I'm going to pretend Season 5 didn't happen. I'd have to agree with some of other reviewers on here, it seems like they ended up with a bunch of different writers that lost direction or understanding of what the show was about and where it was supposed to be going. It started out as a spy show with a hint of sci-fi, and ended up the other way around which was just weird. It seems like the only person who really understood the whole Rambaldi thing was JJ. I think that the actors did a good job with what they were given. Watch Season 1-3 if you want to check it out. Its on Netflix as of 8/16.

The whole show feels like a B-series all the way.The plot: Firstly, the backstory is just silly. Sydney is working for a spy organization that is an enemy of USA inside USA. They have a office, research lab and many spies and other personal working from a office building in plain sight. USA government knows about this and allow it to operate. This is just insane, that would never happened. They would be violently shut down the moment they knew about it. But instead they send in undercover agents.The actions in the episodes: It is so simple and unrealistic. They just walk into secret buildings, guards just disappear into thin air, and they have access to all kind of high profile events like government officials would, and they act like they was CIA. All is so unrealistic that it is a slap in the face of any thinking person alive. We don't see any use of intelligence and creative thinking, its just blunt action packed into a really bad setting.Shallow and uninteresting characters: As the rest of the series the characters feel empty and shallow. One thing I like to look for in TV-series/movies, is the atmosphere and tension between characters, the development of the relationships, and the depth of characters that allow you as a watcher to connect with the characters. But in this TV show this part feel non existent, the characters is too simple and shallow to build any tensions, atmosphere or connection.How the episodes progress: This TV show jump very quickly from scene to scene and take large jumps between the scenes. Usually Sydney usually visit 2-3 locations worldwide in each episode and its all just fast action and little story. There is little time left for charterer building or celebration of victories, its just continues action.What is good?: Pretty girl that do martial arts.Summary: The whole show feel very simple and shallow, like it was written in very short time without much thought. The continues action and little focus on character development, relationship building and creating an interesting story makes the show feel empty, simple and boring.

Let me state my general opinion on Alias first: I pretty much love the show. Also, I'm not going much into depth but scratch on the problems I think they had while still having a great show. So, check it out, you'll probably know within the first few episodes if this is your type of show or not. Trust me, though, there is quite a bit of mythology coming up along the run (similar to Fringe and Person of Interest, who both started slow on that aspect).In my opinion, Season 1 & 2 were pretty much perfect in every aspect. While Season 3 felt a bit slowed down and struggling a little with how to move forward, Season 4A was a bit disappointment.A big plot point was dropped and kind of retconned between Seasons 3 and 4 - and it's the network's interference that almost killed the show. Not only did they make the writers go almost completely procedural in the first half on the season - no, the network also decided to air episodes COMPLETELY out of order, which lead to incredible inconsistent characterization. Do yourself a favor and research the production order of Season 4 and watch it in that exact order. It improves it a lot. Still, 4A has some nice procedural episodes but really lacks the overall story. They kind of salvaged it in 4B and in my opinion, Season 5 was nice, even though for some reason the core mythology was banned a little - again.This is actually today's textbook on why networks have to give writers the freedom to keep a show a show serialized if they intent to and not to try to make it a little more mainstream.Overall, I'd definitely recommend Alias. Others will disagree, but for me it was one of the most enjoyable TV rides I've watched.

This high budget TV show. It uses lush, dramatic, international sets.The plot has layers upon layers. It is like the old Saturday afternoon serials, ending each episode with a cliff hanger. I think this show is primarily the work of women. Our heroine, Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow, dresses in elaborate high-fashion costumes, makeup and hair barely recognisable each time. There are plenty of handsome charming young men who adore her. The focus is on relationships.Jennifer Garner runs for miles at top speed in every episode. The stunts are well done. It appears Garner is doing them herself. It is quite an athletic performance.Garner speaks a number of languages in each episode (without subtitles). I don't speak these languages, but her accent was very convincing.They did a number of technical things that made me angry they were so inept. Sydney moves back and forth between two groups of warring spy agencies without taking any precautions that she is being followed or that her phone is tapped. She dismantles a nuke and holds up a grey sphere which she proclaimed is the plutonium core. Plutonium is radioactive, and as soon as it is formed into a sphere it explodes. Oddly road flares go off in a bank vault.She is a double agent, but at times does some bit of daring for both simultaneously. The plot often does not make sense, which amusingly one of the characters points out.
