I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

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.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Saw this on the CRACKLE app. Fun show. Addictive. Main characters were captivating. I Wasn't a Peter Weller fan until now. Robocop didn't do it for me at all. His role can be just a hair over the line at times with the cigar but overall the entire cast was getting it done very well. Loved the intro. It was a bit heavy on the repetition of certain musical overlays. A few episodes had heavy nudity and mind blowing adult situations (not complaining). The storyline could be viewed as one-sided and shallow. Weller's on screen son had a weird relationship with his girlfriend. Some of the characters were underutilized and one was killed off with an awkward transition. There was lots of potential for gadgets considering but not created. A made for TV movie would have been nice. Other series to consider: Last Resort, Powers and Chosen:the box

I thought the pilot episode of this show was quite promising, and I there were some interesting ideas in the first episodes. But after that pilot, the show didn't spend much time on the story arc, going instead for self-contained stories with maybe a brief hint here and there that the story arc was happening.The problem was I wasn't really that interested in those individual stories, and I found some of the characters annoying, especially the reporter who was pretty much of an idiot. I realized that while the main story arc was being ignored, I was instead being served a whole bunch of rather soap-operish character arcs, and I felt restless to get to the whole saving the earth thing.Around episode 8 I was feeling very bored with the whole thing and decided to give up on the show, but when I looked at the episode guide on TV.com it appeared that the story arc came into play with episode 9. So I thought I'd go a little furtherSo I watched the next couple of episodes, and even kind of liked episode 9, but after feeling bored again with episode 10, I realized that it just wasn't going to happen. I wasn't connecting with the characters, the stories were middling, and there was too much bland soap opera.I never hated Odyssey 5, or even disliked it, but ultimately it just didn't feel like it was worth my time.

I've only just watched this series after being told by my "elder" "less science fiction" fan friends not to, and I really think this series so deserves at least another season. Why start with the fantastic episode of seeing the earth explode and the idea of going back to prevent it from devastation, and end without answering it? OK I agree that there may have been moments during the season when you thought the story was off the point, and that the Odyssey 5's personal stories got in the way of what we wanted to see. And I agree that they certainly made a few continuity/paradoxical errors along the way, but as a whole I think it kept people wanting to know more. And certainly in the 20th episode (fossil), the revelation that the Cardrai are actually trying to use the "Bright Sky" project to beat the Centrients surely redeems the show. If only to see Tamara Craig Thomas again!! Come on Peter Weller and Manny Coto, you have a large following that wants more :) If I had the money I'd produce and direct it myself!! (Sorry if I spelt Cardrai and Centrients wrong, but they looked right to me) :)

How I despaired when when I learnt this had been cancelled. Not just a stupid decision, but criminal in my opinion.The one and only season had more good Sci Fi concepts than many shows have over their entire run. The characters were excellent and didn't just shrug off personally devastating events, there'd be consequences for episodes to come. There were long running story arcs, like Heroes and the new Battlestar Galactica. This was the first of the recent run of 'adult orientated' Sci Fi. There was intrigue, tertiary characters weren't always what they appeared to be.Some have been put off by the amount of swearing, but this just added to the realistic feel for me. Come on, which is worse, cuss words or deplorable violence? Interesting and original plots, or a bunch of military types running around 'alien' woods shooting posturing bad guys with automatic weapons? Since this is mostly set on contemporary Earth there's an X-Files feel, but Odyssey 5 is way better. X-Files is fantasy, Odyssey 5 true Science Fiction.I doubt there'll ever be anything better within the genre in my lifetime. I can't recommend this highly enough to the intelligent viewer. Get the series on DVD, but be prepared for frustration and anger over the way it ends.Manny Coto, I salute and thank you.10/10
