DVD Reviews of 5ive Days to MidnightDVD Review: Entertaining DVDs! Summary: 4 StarsFive Days to Midnight is a highly entertaining series of DVD's. Interesting plot and creative story line, although a bit far-fetched. I recommend seeing it.
DVD Review: Great entertainment Summary: 4 StarsWe have never seen this mini series in Denmark, but after reading some reviews on Amazon I bought it and I sure wasn't dissapointed. Great entertainment, surely recommendable!
DVD Review: Worth watching, but probably not twice Summary: 4 StarsA pretty good mini-series, and the end is not very predictable, but for hard-core sci-fi fans there are a bunch of holes in the time travel plot. That and the story drags on at times. However, overall it is pretty cool, the cinamatography is well done and the series gets you thinking about the grandfather (or in this case maybe grandson) paradox. I just don't see myself watching this again anytime soon.
DVD Review: Awesome Sci-Fi, Mystery, Suspense, Thriller, etc. Summary: 5 StarsThis was quite a find! Timothy Hutton plays Professor J.T. Neumeyer, a physicist who comes across a mysterious case bearing his name, and containing files of an unsolved murder investigation - his murder - which occurred (will occur) five days in the future.
At first he believes it to be a crude hoax. However, certain elements of the murder, as detailed in the files, begin falling into place that suggest something more than just mere coincidence. As he investigates further, Neumeyer enlists the help of the homicide detective (Randy Quaid) who investigated (will investigate) his murder. The biggest clue is the suspect list, which includes his girlfriend, brother-in-law, an eccentric graduate student, and an unknown man.
The series is wonderfully crafted and keeps you guessing as to who the murderer was (will be). The filmmakers successfully establish motives and/or raise doubts about the intentions of the suspects. In a way, it is somewhat similar to Minority Report in the sense of trying to unravel and prevent a murder which hasn't happened yet.
Overall, this was a great mini-series. Highly recommended for fans of the genre(s).
DVD Review: Great movie but watch out for some details Summary: 5 StarsThis movie is good, but I sort of agree with the former review. It lasts too long. You'd better watch it by parts as it was meant originally. You might not like this one if you're from the ones who need many explanations in the movies (as I do very often). However, those missing explanations will not keep you from understanding the movie's plot. I started a discussion forum so that people can guess how they would've filled those holes.
Finally, the movie's start is nothing great by itself. Anyone who likes fantasy and thrillers might have watched similar starings as in this movie. So the filmmakers added a lot of sci-fi effects, cheap but funny ones. The moved the camera in slow motion in some scenes, in others they show a lot of weird (or artistic) scenes behind the characters like mathematical symbols, nothing really creative but pretty. But the movie continues it gets more and more interesting.....otherwise I wouldn't have stayed for 4 or 5 hours!
