Oh dear. What a steaming pile of putrid poo. Waste of SFX budget. Waste of 1 hour of my life - I couldn't be arsed to see it to the end. Avoid.

Seems you are not alone there Martin, only gets 4.5/10 on IMDB and that's a very low score!

Not as bad as 'Stonehenge Apocolypse' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1488598/

Scores 4.1!

Genourous IMHO - I only made it through the first 15 minutes. The Stonehenge set is risibly bad, I mean 'Spinal Tap' bad...and as for the dialogue...

Sorry guys & gals, i have had this in my head all day - music & pictures time to fire up the PJ with 110" screen, crank the volume to about 70%, sit back & crap myself

Not literally, but watch it yourself & see what i mean Unbelievable

Went to see Limitless at the Showcase, Reading, where they have recently installed all-digital projection. My word, what picture quality! Gone is the poorly focussed 35mm picture with gate and framing jitter, replaced with a rock-solid image with tremendous detail and vibrancy. It could be that the old projectors had had their day, but this has transformed my cinema-going experience and I shall be looking for digital projection to come to Basingstoke SOON!

The film itself is a classy and stylish story that asks the question: what if you could take a drug like that, that opens your brain power? Would you take it? Very enjoyable film and one that relishes high resolution viewing.

Just started watching Battlestar Galactica mini series on DVD upscaled to 1080P from DVD & it looks pretty good!
Doubt i'll see it all tonight, but there is always tomorrow

Looks like i might need to buy the complete series, this is looking good

BSG I think is is one of those series that comes along everynow and then and is just simply fantastic.

I love the fact it's based in space but isnt a full on SyFy, it's not like StarGate SG-1 when they need to fix something they just invent it.
in BSG if they dont have it they make do.

I've been watching the repeats on Sky ATlantic and it's awesome !

[HighFidelityGuy]

I'd agree, I really enjoyed BSG. The quality of the writing and acting really shines through. There are a few weaker episodes in the middle of seasons but you get that with any show.

My favourite way to watch was with a glass of Bourbon. There's lots of drinking in most episodes, mostly by Saul and I found drinking along provided a more immersive experience.
Absinthe with a dash of water looks quite a bit like Ambrosia if you fancy drinking along with the lower ranks.

On reflection perhaps I got a bit too involved. I never have looked at toasters in the same way. Frakking toasters!

Good point, mmm Six.

I've only seen the pilot episode of Caprica and quite liked that. I'll have to get hold of the rest to check out. I hadn't actually heard of Blood and Chrome until today. I'll definitely check that out.
