It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

... that deserved much better. I was shocked when "Space: Above and Beyond" was announced as not getting renewed for another season. I really enjoyed its pacing, action, effects, and setting. Perhaps it was a little too good for its price(?) A real shame that a network won't be a little more patient.

Fox has a habit of commissioning good scifi but then cancelling it after 2 seasons or so. But SAAB's reputation in the business must be pretty good - many other productions (e.g. Starship Troopers, Battlestar Galactica) copied verbatim much of their look and feel from it.The themes are familiar - a desperate battle against overwhelming odds, the stern but ultimately kind commanding officer, flawed but heroic characters. All familiar but done rather well. But there were problems too. I found the whole thing relentlessly grim - much like the crime series Millennium which was made around the same time. And we never got to see much of a perspective from the other side of the war.SAAB certainly deserved another series or two, but the fact is - military Scifi that concentrates on just one side has never worked long term, before or since. Star Trek always humanised its enemies by presenting them as eloquent and honourable - more so than the humans sometimes.

I've rated this a ten for what it could have been if played out over 5 seasons. I'm also rating it a 10 for its time.Strong performances, not afraid to be dark and as others have said a prototype for the re-invented BSG.The series contained some genuinely surprising plot twists and when it was good, it was very very good.However, when it was bad, it was horrid and was let down by two key things:1. Plots that are unbelievable right from the very start (involving the deaths of major characters or fantastic scientific breakthroughs a la Voyager that you know will come to nothing). 2. Arrogance: they thought they had 5 seasons in the bag with Fox, therefore from episodes 10-19 all we get is hokey explorations of character and failed experiments. This is why the audience dwindled. It's like all the worst Star Trek (TNG/DS9/Voyager) mid-season bullshit rolled into into one long long long exploration of characters that you would rather see addressing the main agenda of defeating their alien enemy.That being said, still a great show, very much ahead of its time, a prototype for BSG (who borrowed the plot from episode 8 and possibly the character of a female lead).Ironically, many of the horrors that the American marines were subjected to were shortly unleashed by the US against its enemies in real life.It probably fell short because people felt too good at the time but is worth a re-examination. The last two episodes are stellar.

This series caught my eye when it first aired . The script writing was top notch and the stories were often intense. The characters were well played by the actors especially James Morrison as Lt. Mcqueen. Its didn't have the politically correct fluff of Star Trek's sequels likeStar Trek's The Next Generation and Voyager. Its special effects were reasonable for when it was made but not spectacular.Anti-war types wont like the show but who cares about those fluff balls anyway. You will care about these characters and will be left wishing that their virtual lives could have been prolonged more than a season.Great shows sometimes don't appeal to the masses or they are moved around in their time slot too often as this one was. Some are expensive to produce and need exceptional early success to pay the bills.As Emerson wrote ""War educates the senses, calls into action the will, perfects the physical constitution, brings men into such swift and close collision in critical moments that man measures man" In this series the characters grow and their measure becomes greater as they embark on the missions that make this show memorable and engrossing.
