another was a tv movie which maybe no one here saw, which was called the martian chronicles with rock hudson.....a great concept.....i have a friend who often gets so impressed by the vibes and personalities of others, that she constantly has to gather herself back together
movies these days, are just a pile of shootem up video games on the big screen.....the awe, wonder, and mystery, take a back seat....or is totally absent......the first star war movies were quite good though....after that, forget it.....oh...of course, avatar was impressive.......was just curious about other's opinions....

A good series but, like Game of Thrones, remembered for one of the very worst-written endings of any TV series: stupid, disappointing, crap, insulting to anyone with a brain in their head. I think even more than one actor from that well done remake lamented just how bad that final "God did it" scene really was. Actually, bad writers did it, sorry to say.
