Very well executed

Overrated

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

Another heave hole try in the enchanting world created originally by Rod Sterling now updated for a new generation and failing terribly. Going 44 episodes the new Zone ranged from a great idea taken in a great direction before crashing and burning anticlimactically. Most of the caste were washed up hasbeens or no talents and never have any emotional impact. The opening looked cheap, a lame guitar ripe and computer cgi graphics. I could do better myself during free time without a budget. Another issue was the graphic sex scenes shoved in almost every episode making it a sensual series and quite like the revival of the outer limits instead of doing it's own thing or trying to be the brand name.I tried to give it a chance, but the show doesn't have any new offerings to serve and the old stories recreated are bland without any new twists only making you want to watch the original ones instead. Plus Forress Whitaker tries his best but his voice is to easy going not hoarse or sinister making any horror attempt fall flat.You can judge it on your own merits rather it has held up over time. But my rewatch only enforced how bad an attempt it turned out to be.

I get that the Twilight Zone series as a concept is very reactionary; taking the concerns of the shows time periods and presenting them in alternate forms, but the original run, along with the 80-90's version seemed to have a much more deft hand in writing. to compare: look at the original version of "The Monsters are due on Maple Street" when compared to the 2002 remake. they're both running along similar lines, but the remake is much less subtle, and much deeper rooted in reactionary paranoia.it's interesting to see the twilight zone updated for the times, but the writing needs to be savvier, and take more care to lay out it's story's morals. I do hope they do another run of the series in the next ten years or so. Over all 7/10, needed work to give it longevity, but does well capturing that sense of the world at the start of the millennium.

I wasn't born yet when the original and the first revival were made (I'm 24), however I was a big Twilight Zone fan while in high school. So the year was 2003 and the second revival was being aired on Fox... I was a freshman in college and had enough time to watch it. While the dialogues, places and the overall atmosphere looks more familiar to me on this new Twilight Zone, most of the screenplays lack the feeling from the old classic series. They don't have that characteristic superb twist and the end anymore and some of them are really predictable. The episodes from the classic series where awesome and I think they scared a bunch of people back then, but this revival has failed on that matter. But anyway, to be honest I don't blame new Twilight Zone's writers for this since some of the feeling that made this show so great was lost during the 80's revival.This is overall a good show if you don't have anything else to do, otherwise stick to the classics.

This incarnation of The Twilight Zone had immense possibilities. Some were realized, with a new on-screen host, and some good stories. It is hard to recreate the original, but I think this series made a bold attempt. Old Twilight Zone themes of prejudice, fear, science gone awry, and the wonderful, and awful potential of the human spirit are examined. I would have liked to see the series continue past the one year mark, but sadly, this was not to be. I think Rod Serling would have been proud to see a black host, as well. Things have changed a lot, since 1959, when the original Twilight Zone premiered. These changes were dealt with, often cleverly. I recommend that this series be viewed.
