by some twat called James:
I really wanted to like this film after watching the trailer on t.v., but as the film went on, I could not help but kept rolling my eyes. Here are things I did not like: SPOILERS!
1. First five to ten minutes of the film was great (where the girl gets rescued). The beginning looked really great with the girl being in a dream like state and talking about the difference between Alliance and the Independents. Then she gets rescued from the chair she was strapped in. After this, the film went really corney. As the bad guy looks at the film, he asks the doctor that he has too much of pride and that's why he failed. He then tells the doctor to look at Shepard's face and ask why he successeed. When the doctor did not know, the bad guy says Shephard has "love". At first I thought that he meant Shepard was in love with this girl, but he meant that Shepard was human capable of love.
2. The so called good guys kept going from place to place, and back to same place to place running away from things. The majority of actions you see in this picture was different space ships kept caught on fire because they were shot at.
3. I did not like the character of the girl name River. She is an aneroxic looking girl with psychic power/super martial arts power. She basically walks around looking all depressed, being very quite, and at times just whine, whine and whine. But, then sudddenly she would for no reason at all runs super fast and does all kinds of martial art tricks. Towards end of the movie, when the good guys were all trapeed in this room when the Reapers were coming in, she jumps out of the doorway where they were coming in, and when she leaves the room the door closes, she then somehow ends up doing martial arts all by herself killing off 100 or more of the reapers. They all get killerd by her--are you kidding me?!
4. The story of how reappers came to be. The female doctor says that she and some scientist formulated some chemical to make people unviolent, and they somehow sent gasses into where the whole population were. 90 percent of the populations for some reason slowley died because their plan did not work. But, 10 percent of the population became extremely violent and went around killing people in diffenrent planets. Now, how come the 90 percent of the poplulation that died looked normal, but the 10 percent who survied look like monsters from the Zombie movies? Why are they orange in color? How come they don't kill eachother off just the normal looking people? In the movie, they don't seem intellegent, they don't speak to one another--their simply became monsters. But, somehow they managaged to all come together and form an alliance, and then they agree to get a space ship to sail to other planets to kill normal looking people. Give me a break!
5. The dialgo in this movie was just horrible and people just remdomly get togher with one anothe, when they have not even shown why they were attractd to one another. Here's an example of one. Towards the end, when good guys were in this room and about to fight off reapers that were trying to come into the room, they all pretty much think they are going to all die fighting them. When this River's brother turnes to a girl and says something like I regret not knowing you better. The girl turns to him and says "you mean sex?! He says "yes". She then says "well then I'm going to live!" What kind of lines were they. If a guy says that to a girl, don't you think that she would be offend that he was interested in having sex with her? He did not say that he was interested in getting to know her better to have some serious relationship with her, but he just wanted to have sex with her and it fine by her.
6. I thought that the movie could not get any worse, but then the end of the movie arrived. The bad guy who has been following them was in a room alone with Shepard. Shepard took blow after blow from this guy, and this guy only took a few blow from him but he goes down at the end. The bad guy even stabs a long sword into Shepard, and Shepard just pulls it out and continue fighting him. The bad guy used certain move in the beginning to freeze the doctor, and the doctor being unalbe to move, fell forward onto a long sward and dies (I thought this was a good part). But, when the bad guy does the same thing to Shepard, Shepard only freezes for few seconds and was able to move and defeat the bad guy. Shepard said the reason why he could move was the he was hit by some shrapnal in the past and had surgery to get some stuff removed from his body-WHAT?! Then, Shepard don't kill the bad guy, he just straps him in and makes him watch a video. The very end, when River kills all the reappers and the door behind her blows off and the bad guys army comes in and tell them to put down their weapons. I thought that they were going to have a show down, but then the bad guy some how I guess freed himself, showed up in the room and tells his people to let everybody go. The bad guy who was not human and was programmed to go after them, somehow grew a heart and let them all go. After all the crap that I had to go through, the ending was a real let down. This movie was based on the t.v. show Fire Fly, which I have never seen before. But, if Fire Fly was as bad as this movie, then I'm glade that I did not see it.

The people that gave this movie 1 or 2 stars really pissed me off, they omg...I dont know their reviews just make them sound like they are completely stupid people and very shallow too =(

I love the long 1 star reviews where they go through the entire movie and pick out parts they dont like, I just love reading how TOTALLY WRONG they got the story in this movie and characters names are incorrect...one guy calling them reappers???? LOL its just hilarious.

I wish...these people didnt exist =(

The only ones I respect that compared it to firefly and therefore the lowish score they gave it, and if some of u are on here...thats cool too.
But for someone outright say this movie is horrible...well they should be shot.

Sorry, I just had to vent...I hope more of u noticed the horribly stupid feedback reviews some people are giving, its saddening =(

Hey, I had a thought. On every one of the customer reviews, there is an option to choose if you thought that particular review was helpful. On ALL of the ones that give it a good review, we should say yes, and on all of the negative ones, we should say no. With all of us doing this, others will see the HUGE numbers of people (us) that found the GOOD reviews helpful and that might help them go out and buy it.

Just a thought!
