A space-western with a motley down-and-out crew struggling on the edge of a semi-dystopian planet-spanning civilization.

Easily one of the best television shows I’ve ever seen. I don’t just consider this mandatory, I will dog people to watch it. I bought two copies of this series just to give one away.

Let me stress this. This is a series so good that even after cancellation there was enough popularity to produce a movie. A movie for a cancelled series. The only one I’ve ever heard of. Serenity – (2005 movie) is itself mandatory viewing for those who have enjoyed Firefly.

Mandatory viewing. I have been brought to tears more than once.

Lego Star Wars - The Video Game - (2005 game) ps2 cover

Good fun with childish gameplay. No real dying.. could be challenging for good players, if they took it seriously. Would be great multiplayer (which I haven’t tried). Spoiled by an entirely impossible area.. so you cannot proceed.

It has a lot of other problems and I mark this one as “entirely unplayable”.

In a world where genetics predetermines health, a man with congenital defects pursues his dream of becoming an astronaut.

This is, for me, an intensely nerve-wracking movie. I will definitely keep it in my collection, but I find re-watching difficult.

The Earth unites when plans for an incredibly complex machine are discovered.

I loved this movie, though it’s very soft on the brain. It requires a lot of suspension of disbelief and might aggravate the harder science fiction fans.
