Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This ambitious miniseries, a coproduction between the BBC and the American cable entity the Sci-Fi Channel, is an unusually intelligent and demanding example of the genre. The story begins when a cocky pilot shoots down a UFO inside British air space, but the following revelations only hint at the scope of the predicament. A few soldiers and civilians, led by an American general with the NATO forces (Fred Ward), find themselves in the middle of an intergalactic war and discover they are the next target of a mysterious civilization that has already conquered most of the galaxy. Working with a limited budget, the filmmakers concentrate on creating a palpable sense of fear of the unknown while punctuating the story with sparse but startling effects: dimensional portals that open out of nowhere, a hellish otherworldly land where prisoners appear to be digested in a monstrous stomach, our first and only glimpse of the demonic-looking enemy as it lays waste to an Earth laboratory. These eerie moments only intensify the moody dread that permeates the series. Though an unconvincing romantic subplot occasionally slows the pace, the consistently smart writing and dense, delirious plotting makes this unusual epic compelling viewing right through to its jaw-dropping conclusion. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Painful To Watch British Schlock!I had the displeasure of watching this on Netflix (not Netflix's fault I suppose). We start out on a battlefield in England circa WWII. There's a crashed UFO. Why? We don't know. An alien comes running out of there. Why? Where's he going? Doesn't matter, the bobby shoots him. His boss tells him to lay off the other one who's struggling in the dirt. Then, inexplicably, we jump to "present day". Why? We don't know. We're introduced to a few crack pilots of the ...

My only complaint is the lack of closed captioning - not only for those who have hearing issues but also for those who have difficulty with British dialogue. It would have earned 5 stars had they added that one simple feature. The BBC tends to produce quality material with a focus on character development rather than expensive special effects; this is no different. It is worth watching - even owning - if this is the kind of stuff you like to see. Rating:  - Great Movie!I've been waiting a long time for this to be available on DVD. I only saw part of it when it was on the Sci-Fi channel. Well done! Rating: - engaging dramaI thoroughly enjoyed this series. There are not enough interesting science fiction shows/movies. I think this one has much more intelligence than most. It may not be perfect, but I didn't notice. I'm only halfway through (3 of 6) and thoroughly enjoying it. I already want a sequel. Rating:  - Painfully disjointedI hate giving bad reviews and generally avoid it, but I think this one deserves mentioning. I should start out by saying that I am a huge fan of the genre. The characters were not compelling to me. The plotline was very contrived. The romance unbelievable. I could not imagine why anyone would want to be with either of these two. Perhaps that was intended - a sort of nod to the idea that there is someone for everyone. However, it is the plot holes that really spoiled ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
