    The Worst Film Ever

    FeistyUpper

    If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

    A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

    Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

    Only the first two seasons are quite good. The rest is boring. The main actors were changed too often

    Interesting story ideas and fun to seen the new monster of the week. Entertaining even on a low budget.There are times, though, that the laziness of the writers comes out in frustrating and painful ways. I find myself staring at a scene and wondering "Why?? Why would you do that? That's so stupid!"If you can get past those moments (and there are many) then it's a fun show to watch. I'd love to see it revisited with a bigger budget and a little more intelligence written in.Oh, yeah....and the Wilhelm scream.... Every episode? Really? *shakes head*

    This series could be called Wilhelm Scream the series. The scream usually occurs in films and is used subtlety as in Star Wars or Lord of the rings when someone dies. Primeval has decided to use it in every episode, this becomes very old very quick. The special effects are OK, not terrible and not great, but considering Jurrsaic Park was made 14 years earlier and looked much better, it's hard to be generous even when comparing a film to a TV series. The acting is quite good, and the chartcers are believable, but the but given the sensational subject matter, episodes still manage to drag. All in all, there are much better sci fi shows out there, this is farely child friendly and is the most likely target audience.

    Warning! Spoilers Ahead! "Primeval" ranks up there with "Fringe" as one of the best time travel/alternate universe genre SF TV series ever made. Far, far better than paint by the numbers shows such as "Quantum Leap." I still can't believe however that the creators of the show killed off every one of their leading characters.Killing off the adorable Claudia Brown by changing the time line was bad enough. Admittedly they reincarnated her, sort of, as Jenny Lewis. But then they wrote her out of the show too by having her resign.Killing off the unflappable, too cool for school Stephen Hart and even the living, beating heart of the show Nick Cutter was just too much. That is no way to keep a franchise going.I suppose the creators of the show should be given credit for their ruthlessness. The shockingly unexpected deaths of these beloved main characters leave holes in our hearts. They evoke the inner emptiness that accompanies the loss of a loved one.But unless the actors wanted out for career reasons, killing their characters off was definitely a bad move.
