    I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

    There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

    Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

    All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

    First few episodes were very good - then it degenerated into sentimental rubbish - it should have focused on the science instead of polluting the program with a very sentimental middle class centric view of the world peddling a very dubious morality. Disappointing!

    Despite enough spent on this series to give it a glossy 'dark noir' look popular in sci-fi and suspense thrillers these days, the fact is the plotting here is so bad, it might just as well have been put together by Ed Wood (crown king of bad movie making).This is what we have to believe: That out of 7 billion people, only a handful of FBI agents have any interest in figuring out a global phenomenon magnitudes greater than all natural catastrophes experienced beforehand. Oh, and some conspiracy assassins and a couple of science geeks - eventually.Uh... no.All right, I was only able to get through episode two, parts of E 3, and the last ten minutes of the final episode (just to find out if any of this made sense - it didn't). But it was enough to convince me that I needn't bother with the rest of this utter garbage.Look, a global phenomenon of this sort would be addressed by governments, businesses and other private agencies, scientists and institutes across the global. The notion that a handful of FBI agents would be needed to deal with it - while also dealing with their soap-opera lives - is ridiculous on the face of it - laughably so, if the premise - flash-forwarding to the future - weren't somehow intrinsically interesting. But the disappointment of the unfulfilled premise closes off the laughter and just makes one feel... somehow used and dirty, like the final episode of "Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior." But not interesting enough to continue watching stories so banally plotted and badly written. You have more important things to do with your time - like, picking lint from between your toes.

    Looks like no Flash Forward warned anybody that the show would get canceled. Which seems like more than a missed opportunity, because there was potential here. If you watched the first episodes it was more than intriguing. Story and time-lines and confusing details aside, this did work very well. Especially when it did something major after a few episodes, something that seemed to change the formula.Time sensitive movies or shows are really moving on thin ice though. And while still able to get away with many things, there still seemed to be a rush to do things. Especially towards the premature ending. Women (and Brits) seemed to have the worst of it. Character wise that is of course. Most of them were borderline bearable, surely making many people scream at their TV set and not in a good sense. There is inevitability and then there is plain stupidity ... it's a shame when it goes to the latter.But try to cherish the good things about the show (and there are quite a few), beginning with the lead cast and some really nice guest stars along the way. A shame the writing got in the way a couple of times, either while thinking to be too clever or not thinking at all. I'd still watch a second season, if there ever will be one ...

    One of the best TV serials ever, very interesting and intrigue story, breath taking moments and philosophical way of thinking. It's a real shame that this show was canceled, it should have 3 seasons at least to be considered and captured in movie history as one of the best shows ever made...but still it's not to late to take in consider this question once more and put on-air the show again. I have watched a lot of more expensive movies and series that this one, and they were way bellow this one. I think this TV show deserves a better treatment in the movie industries, because the viewers are too bored watching the same or nearly the same stories and scenarios in all other serial or non serial movies. Audience needs something fresh, something different and deeper than the ordinary, something that not only will entertain people, but increase the level of thinking and knowing of life and things around itself.Thank you!
