Did you people see the same film I saw?

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

it remains one of movies who impose a realistic, coherent perspective about the fear about future. it is, in same measure, one of the most impressive exploration of the hidden aspects of life. and the references to mythology, symbols and faiths is always seductive for the precision. but the best part is the status of family story. a man protecting his wife and his daughter. front to obscure challenges. in expectation of a new millennium , with the same feelings of the year 1000 and the same refuges. Lance Henrikson does more than a good job. he gives a role who change the manner to understand the basic ingredients of every day life. because Millennium is not a fantastic series or one about the exoticism of supernatural. but about the meaning of existence. and the courage to build it.

idea to use the end of millennium as subject of series is not special. but it is a good point to explore fear, expectations and to create limits and geography of a fascinating universe. in great measure, it is the film of Lance Henriksen who gives force, a lot of nuances and credibility to a world of signs and traps. his work is really admirable. but not only his art to give soul to mysteries is the virtue of series. Megan Gallagher is perfect as second side of Black family and she creates the delicate, fragile light shine in the night of episodes.but the essential part remains the viewer. because it is not X Files or a fantastic trip. only portrait of humanity. and descending in heart of cages who defines limits.to see it is just an exercise for new knowledge about different cultural aspects but, in same measure, about yourself.

I always found "Millennium" to be an excellent television series (Being probably the finest example of everything that a police television show with supernatural elements should be) It was created by Chris Carter (Who is also the creator of another classic mystery television show from the nineties, "The X-Files") However, I always found "Millenium" to be much better than "The X-Files", being also much darker and solemn than that series.The first season of "Millenium" was simply outstanding, having great performances, a magnificent atmosphere and very interesting characters with a fascinating story in each episode.The second season, without being as great as it predecessor (Mostly because for the forced addition of some comedy which didn't work very well for the format of this series) was still worth-watching and had some intriguing plot points.Anyway, I consider "Millenium" to be one of the most underrated television shows ever made, having all the necessary virtues to be considered a classic from the history of television. From my point of view, none of the mystery shows from the recent years had this same level of quality.10/10

Millennium is so dark and distressing that no one could possibly call it 'entertaining'. However, it is fascinating television, and you can't stop watching, uncomfortable as it is. The first season would be just "too much" if it wasn't for the smart, stylish direction of Chris Carter. The show somewhat 'lightens up" in the second season, changing its tone in a sort of 'X-Files' way. Many have praised the writers, but in my opinion it isn't the writing that makes the series clearly stand out from similar shows. It is Lance Henriksen, the most inexplicably underrated actor ever, who plays Frank Black to perfection. Soulful and intense, Lance Henriksen steals the show in every scene. The music is also very good, haunting and eerie, appropriate to the tone of the series. The 'weak link', in my opinion, is Megan Gallagher, whom I find terribly insipid. Her character becomes really annoying in the second season. The Bob Bletcher character doesn't seem to be very bright, so he doesn't make a believable cop. The dialogue falls into cliché a few times, it is often very good, and sometimes brilliant. I personally found the controversial "Somehow Satan Got Behind Me" to be one of the better episodes of the second season, with dark humor and interesting insight into the human condition, somewhat reminiscent of the famous X-Files episodes written by the same Darin Morgan. The series is uneven, unfortunately so. Distracting and unnecessary, the character of Emma Hollis is probably the biggest mistake. Blank and annoyingly insecure, she detracts from the story lines of the third season. Needless to say, all the shows that followed, like Profiler, Criminal Minds, C.S.I and so on, are poor clones that can't even come close to the exceptional Millennium. Highly recommended, especially season 1, which is the best of the series.
