Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

SanEat 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."

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

tonyinblack I'm a huge fan of Red Dwarf, but have always been oddly suspicious of other people who are. I can't say why with any certainty. If I meet a fellow X Files fan, I'll happily declare myself and chat an afternoon away. If I meet another Red Dwarf fan, I won't say a word. Red Dwarf, just by existing, makes a lifetime of underachievement much easier to deal with and has always made me feel a lot less alone. Only the most blinkered would claim that it has never lost it's way, but only the most unreasonable wouldn't accept that these instances are brief. But it's the frequent flashes of dazzling brilliance that allows the occasional heavy handedness to be forgiven. It is with some reluctance that I admit to identifying with Rimmer, when everything suggests it should be Lister. But the best comedy teaches, without you being aware it does.

sykespj Anybody who enjoys quirky British comedy and science fiction couldn't help but love the first six series of this show (1988-93). Unfortunately, when writer Rob Grant left leaving only Doug Naylor to take the show forward, the show began a serious decline in quality. Series VII and VIII (1997 & 1999) were still OK, but it was pretty evident that the magic was gone.After a decade-long hiatus, the show was back in 2009 with the abominable three-part miniseries Back to Earth, now considered the ninth series. Plenty of reviewers have already noted how disappointing this series was and why, so I won't repeat the obvious.When plans for a new series to be aired in 2012 were announced, many of us who love the show shuddered, thinking that surely it couldn't be anywhere near as bad as the last effort. After watching the first couple of episodes, it is apparent that there is at least an attempt to return to the verve of the first six series. Regrettably, however, much of what I watched simply wasn't all that funny. I'll watch the rest, as I am too much of fan to miss them.My advice for anyone who has never seen an episode is to start at the beginning with Series I and work your way through the classic episodes in order. They are timelessly funny and stand up to repeated viewings.

WakenPayne Three million years ago, a radiation leak killed the crew of the mining ship, Red Dwarf. The only survivor was Dave Lister, the chicken soup machine repairman. He spends his time on the ship with a holographic projection of Arnold Rimmer (his dead bunkmate), Cat (a life-form that evolved from Dave's cat), Holly (the ship's senile computer), and Kryten (a service mechanoid). Now I Would've Given This Episode A 8 If They Ended The Series At Season 6 & Imply That When Rimmer Blew The Engine Of Starbug 1 Out They Died No More But NO They Have To Do Another 2 More Seasons Then The Show Went Downhill A Couple Of Episodes Of Season 7 Are Funny But Thats It...8 Is Good But It Has An Endifferent Sense Of Humor To The Rest Of The Show. The Other 6 Are All Great But In One Season They Had To Have One Spectacular Episode & One Crap Episode With The Exception Of Season 5 (Where All The Episodes Are Good) So I Declair Season 5 The Best. I Loved The Whole "Smeg" Thing How They Invented That Word So They Could Censor Themselves Just By Saying A Word Without Meaning. My Overall Review Is That This Series Is Great Until Its 7th Year Then Only One Season After Was Good.

calvinnme Aboard the deep space mining vessel Red Dwarf, Dave Lister, a vending machine repairman, smuggles aboard a pregnant cat. When he is found out he is confined to suspended animation for refusing to surrender the animal to the captain for dissection. During his time in stasis, his annoying self-important bunkmate and supervisor Arnold Rimmer is forced to perform his maintenance duties alone and bungles his repairs to the drive plate, causing it to blow and subjecting the entire crew to deadly radiation. 3 million years pass until the background radiation level has fallen such that human life will not be threatened. At this point Holly, the ship's computer, releases Lister from his long sleep and also resurrects Rimmer as a hologram to be a companion for Lister, basically the last person Lister would want to listen to all day. After the initial shock, Lister realizes that he has the run of the ship, allowing him to be, basically, himself: a layabout slob. Rimmer and Lister discover that the cat had been sealed in the ship's hold during the accident and has bred there for the last 3 million years and evolved into a race of man-like creatures, one of whom is still on the ship. The rest of the cats mistook Lister's laundry list as navigation instructions to a planet of refuge and crashed and died in space. With his evolved cat at his side, Lister decides to complete his dream of owning a farm on Fiji and orders Holly to set a course for Earth. Much of this first season involves Rimmer trying to still boss Lister around even though he is just a hologram, the cat coming to grips that he is the last of his kind alive, with Lister constantly trying to get Rimmer to "turn himself off" so Lister can replace him with Christine Kochanski's hologram. Kochanski was the attractive officer Lister had a crush on before he went into stasis. The series starts off with Lister quite determined to get back to earth, but as time passes that mission takes a back seat to all of the adventures the group has. The series is at its peak, in my opinion, after the mechanoid Kryten is rescued from a long ago crashed vehicle, and joins the crew of Red Dwarf. These five together - the vain and somewhat dim cat, Lister who knows he's a slob yet is happy with himself, a bossy Rimmer who fixates on trivial details to avoid dealing with the fact that he is not happy with himself, the intelligent and inquisitive but over-polite mechanoid Kryten, and the ship's rather ditzy computer Holly who is suffering from silicon senility after several million years of use are a perfect comedy team as they go traveling about the universe. There is comedy on the basest and most physical levels, but there is also much ridiculing of social, political, and religious orders - a true iconoclast's delight.In seasons six and seven the series sags a bit, as the crew has to abandon Red Dwarf and travel about in the smaller transport ship StarBug. In season eight there is a completely changed situation for the original crew, but the series just gets worse having seemed to lose track of what made it so brilliant in the first five seasons. In spite of the slower pace of seasons six and seven and the outright mediocrity of season eight, I'd highly recommend the entire series to anyone who likes British comedy. The first five seasons and parts of six and seven are just that good.
