Buffronioc One of the wrost movies I have ever seen

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

bard-32 I don't get BBC America anymore. Now that I live in Sanford, my cable company doesn't carry it. When I lived in Saco, my old cable company did carry it. So I'm not familiar with the British version of Eleventh Hour. However, I am familiar with The X-Files. Eleventh Hour is a British remake of The X-Files. Both shows are similar. The series is about a government scientist who works for the FBI. (In the British version, it's the Home Office,) who has an FBI babysitter. Agent Rachel Young is Dr.Jacob Hood. The pilot, and episodes that followed, dealt with everything from natural gas in the water, to cloning. In the pilot, an unknown fertility doctor with the alias "Gepetto," is cloning babies. Gepetto was revealed to be a doctor who was infertile and wanted to remake herself. Another episode dealt with a Department of Environmental Protection official who was polluting the water supply of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to make a point. Young is Scully, the skeptic, and Hood is Mulder, the believer, who thinks everything's related. There aren't any references to UFOs in this show, unlike The X-Files, but the stories are more mundane and down-to-earth.

nickmordin I keep watching this show in the hope that its producers will address the blindingly obvious flaw that is currently holding it back.The flaw, as I see it, is the total lack of humor.I can see how many might see the implausibility of the show's basic premise as the big problem. Namely that a single guy is an expert in every single branch of science and somehow manages to solve problems that would normally require a team of people and a massive laboratory by working on his own with little more than a few test tubes and a laptop computer on a desk in a motel room.Actually I do have a bit of a problem with that. In the original British series the show is derived from the main character didn't work everything out on his own. In the US version the implausibility of the science does get in your face way too much of the time.But I'd happily suspend my disbelief to the required extent if the scriptwriters would only adopt the same light-hearted approach to what the characters say as they do to the science. They get away with worse stuff in 'Bones' but it reaches a big audience because the interactions between the characters are so often humorous. Here the main character is totally deadpan throughout. It's awfully hard to empathize with him when he takes all the Hollywood Science so seriously.The obvious way to fix the show would be to somehow kill off the main character and replace him with someone that has a sense of humor.I'd love that to happen as I normally enjoy shows like this and quite liked the British series.

nicocoer-1 I am loving this show. Why? It has a more realistic feel, and research into HOW things could be possible seems to be better done than the flashier "Fringe" Airing On fox. Don't get me wrong, I love both shows, but for COMPLETELY different reasons. "Fringe" is More on the Sci Fi edge of speculative fiction, more flashy, and less believable as happening now instead of in 20 years despite the insertion of terms, agencies, and political conflicts.Eleventh Hour, on the other hand, Seems more as though it could be happening right now. While there are A LOT of things that are not accurate (Like test results coming back quickly, some lax use of contamination procedures) they are ones that are done to make the story fit within a time period, and for much the same reasons as the same flaws popping up in, say, CSI. As for the feel, it feels like it could be happening in the same time as CSI.If you are looking for hoogity-boogity, action movie paced, Jules Verne-esquire Speculation, and the sort of feel found in Supernatural, House and any number of the high special effect shows running right now- this isn't your show and I'd recommend Fringe.However, if you are the sort that likes methodology, thought, and are a fan of CSI- this might be something not to skip. I'd also rec for folks that preferred the more logical/science based episodes of X-files, and for folks that enjoy Bones but like more speculative in their fiction.My best rec thus far as to be season 1 episode 4. I was greatly impressed by the actual research thing on the LIVES OF AUTISTICS that was done, and felt that a lot of positive and accurate information about the reality of living with the disorder was. Both sides- those of the Autistics themselves, as well as VARIED reactions of parents- were demonstrated. My Favorite Quote ***SPOILER*** was Hood's "Who are you to say that they need fixing?" ***END SPOILER*** Over all, Iwas highly impressed and must applaud the writers on a job well and RESPECTFULLY done.

dvd123 Jerry Bruckheimer used to be my hero. If you add up the box office receipts from all his films, you'd probably exceed any other producer by a factor of at least 4. No, none of his stuff won any Cannes awards or achieved a great deal of artistic recognition, but, he put bodies in seats, and, for the most part, provided a thrilling ride. The man knew how to please the masses.TV has been no different. The first season of CSI, was, by far, the best TV of it's time. When the screen went black and "Executive Producer Jerry Bruckheimer" flashed, it would send a shiver down my spine. I'll admit it, I worshiped at the man's altar.Like all great runs, though, it has come to an end. Either he's lending his name to other people's projects or his Midas touch has vanished. Whatever the reason, the magic is gone. There is no better proof of this than the epic failure of Eleventh Hour.I say epic, not because the show is completely horrible, but because of the exalted expectations of a Bruckheimer production and the heightened buzz of the TV press- who would have us believe that this would be the THE show to watch this season.How did it fail? Well, quite simply, it plays a lot like the UK original- a show that, although it has it's fans across the pond, is pretty mediocre when compared to big budget American TV standards. UK TV has it's strengths- great acting and solid writing, but, for the most part, it just isn't thrilling. I think a part of the lack of thrills is a shortage of resources/money, but another factor is a more conservative/older UK audience. It's just a different animal. Comedies can successfully make the jump to the American market, but in order for British dramas to be successful here, they need substantial reworking. Needless to say, this was almost a carbon copy.Canadian dramas- same thing. Regenesis (another very similar show), as popular as it was there, would fail miserably in the US. Sorry Regenesis fans, but that's the truth.I'll still continue to watch, but with far diminished expectations. Like I said before, the show isn't horrible, just not up to the Bruckheimer mold. Sewell and Shelton both have the potential for some great performances and it's possible that after they've completely mined the 4 episodes of UK material it might get more original/thrilling. I'm not holding my breath, but anything is possible.As far as other Bruckheimer productions are concerned, my excitement is considerably tempered. He may not be down for the count, but achieving his former glory, at least from my perspective, might be impossible.Mr. Bruckheimer, you're one of the greatest movie/TV producers of all time, but if this show is indicative of the quality of work you're going to put out in the future, your era is at an end.
