Spartacus: Blood and Sand (2010)
17 min in the story and already bored
The story starts of a offices rip of from the movie "gladiator" The leader with the beard looks exactly like the African tribe leader/gladiator trainer. The characters and there behaviour is 20e century soap series copy-pasted on to 2000 year old personality's. Its quit annoying, if you know anything about history. There by the overuse of CGI-blood spilling is way, way to much. The shooting/background and scene's reminds me of the sanctuary series, but not in a good way.
Good parts The fight scene's are pretty good and full of action, with the no hassle "what will I do now".
So lets proceed with the rest of the show and hope it will get better.
EDIT: I watched the whole show, and I can only say: I want that hour of my life back.
Virtuality (2009)
Nice, but probably predictable
I just watched this pilot and besides the nice special effects there is is thin storyline waiting to be unfolded. I see some potential but..... I probably can already predict the twist at the ending of the series. There all in a simulation, testing if they are mental prepared for the ten year voyage ahead. Because I can't believe there are not getting along after a few months on the ship. Even normal astronaut are tested if they can interact with each other. The captain probably figured that out, thats why is gone. I'll just wait and see if I am. Or there are aliens that are testing them, in that case: aaaah, lame story that reminds me of "contact"
