Simply Perfect

Memorable, crazy movie

Blistering performances.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Idea good. Special effects good. Halle Berry's acting isn't!!

When CBS finally realized that they needed to get better writers it was too late to stop cancellation, however season 2 was just the ticket since the folks who get it got involved. Don't ignore the possibilities.Get the show back on the air and keep developing it. GREAT POTENTIAL to address some of the social issues we face today and reflect them through the show.Take the time to think about we face the issues of robotics, environment, space and survival on a planet that needs innovation. Hybrids are the vehicle to a better world and the growing pains that go with it. Lots of areas to tie into where they can help humanity solve its greatest problems. Paradox galore!

This series had about the same intelligence as any given old-school Power Rangers episode, but with worse acting and even worse special effects. I feel sorry for the creators of it, because they seriously lack talent at what they do. Spielberg has a long history of shitty series, and quite honestly, I don't know how they can afford to keep making garbage like this. All of the actors were disinterested in their roles, and you could almost read the "man this is crap, when do I get paid?" expression on their faces. This the end of the Berry career. As for the screenplay itself...if you were to give a child a box of crayons and a handful of paint, they could create a better one. It's truly embarrassing, I feel shame belonging the same species.

When I first started watching this series I thought it would be the usual Sci-Fi junk that gets churned out on a regular basis but I was pleasantly surprised by Extant. This did appear to be radically different and great care was taken in the writing of Extant to keep you guessing as to where this story was going. In my opinion the storyline got stronger and stronger as it went along and the part of Molly Woods played by Halle Berry was riveting. The plot in theory could have gone either way and in part gave an insight as to how present Governments are likely to think and react to this kind of situation. Of course we do not know what lies out there and I would like to think that we would react differently in a similar situation. The 2nd series gathered pace and momentum and was quite gripping the whole plot was a different take on the alien invasion theme and I welcomed the inventiveness of the writers. Yes we can all pick holes in things, but give credit where it is due and I believe Extant to be one of the better series over the last few years
