As Good As It Gets

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Caprica was Awesome, and this could have been, but fell a bit short in my opinion, but i would like to see it return.

This film is a pilot for a series that was never picked up and, if judged solely on the visuals, then that's a good thing for all people who hate fake lens flares - and that's 99% of the Earth's population.The director of the film is SO obsessed with lens flare effects that he forgot all about having a sensible plot, decent acting, original characters or otherwise decent visuals. Every single light source in this film creates excessive lens flare, so much so that are moments where there is nothing on screen EXCEPT lens flare. I know this is all JJ Abrams fault with his Star Trek reboot but that doesn't mean that anybody else had to copy his sloppy technique.With so much flare obscuring the on screen image, you're reduced to having an aural rather than a visual experience and the content of the film just isn't up to making up for a lack of visuals.If this film were remade without the added lens flare effects then the money saved would be enough to hire a decent script writer, a decent director and some proper actors. THEN you might have a pilot film worth a series.

Rating this T.V. production on visuals (set decoration, special effects, lighting, etc.), this flick would rate a 10. Where it falls apart as a total work, however, is casting (completely wrong lead actor, English-accent challenged and mismatched in age lead actress) and, sadly, story borrowed from sources other than Battlestar Galactica (for example, reinventing Terminator elements and themes). Some snappy dialogue in the beginning, which devolves into stereotypical soap opera claptrap. And you can't even imagine how terrible the big 'love' scene is...it is to barf. Lastly, it must be said that the dialogue frequency of the word 'frack', used instead of 'fuck', or 'fracking' instead of 'fucking', is so awful as to change every mood where the word is used into the most awful depths of chalkboard nail-screesching pain or, alternately, giddy hysteria.

Special effects as usual are outstanding and I don't bother much about several of blue screens, this helps to reduce the movie budget. The problem I have is with the story and some main actors performance. But I think that over-acting can be corrected by the direction, so I blame on this to the director. Also is his fault that there were so many cliché or expected situations that ruin the whole story. I just can believe the "dead-meat" character! If you saw the movie Hot Shots with Charlie Sheen, there is a character that criticize the cheap trick of some movies of use a character with high and noble goals and then kill it. So guess what they do here...About the effects, I love the flares and the on purpose not precise camera focus movements, this gives a lot of realism to the movie because it feels like there is a human trying to hold the camera and not the cold computer just rendering.
