Thanks to torrents I didn't have to pay the stupid fee CBS is trying to get for this. As a sci fi action show goes, it doesn't suck. The folks that created Battlestar Galactica pulled off a more modern a darker retake on the original series. The STD have not from where I sit.

It just looks dark and dreary with mutiny and chaos around every corner for no particular purpose other the self indulgence.

Don't care for the new Klingon look. They pretty much killed B'Lana Torris' possibility to exist. The Klingon of STD are a cross between a reptiles and mammals. There's no way cross breeding with humans would ever work.

I also see that comedians of the future will laugh at the white guys. Remember how the first black guy in TOS was sure to die? Well now when you see a white male, you'll know that his character is a tool, a schmuck or insignificant.

Thank goodness I didn't pay for it!

How in the world did this get any Oscar attention??? The story line was so bland that the dry comedic effort of the writers was the only thing that made it worth watching all the way through. So the above board story line is that a mother is angry and distraught at the lack of effort being made towards finding the killer of her daughter. She pays for some billboards towards that effect. The billboards cause a lot of friction in the small town in southern Missouri where she lives. And around and around it swirls.... For nearly TWO HOURS!

Now here is the story that Hollywood really wants to tell you. Everyone who lives in small town Midwestern towns is dumb, alcoholic, and incredibly dysfunctional. Well everyone is provided that their white. If you live in a small Midwestern town and you're black, well then you're a well balanced, hard working , decent person with good common sense.

Of the 50 or so characters seen in the movie, I recall three were black. They were the only characters that exhibited any intelligence, decency and good common sense. Every single adult character that I recall otherwise was portrayed as having at least one version of a serious flaw in their character. They of course were white.

I hear the lead actress got up on stage at the Oscars and went political. I find that funny given that her character was probably the most flawed in the movie. Her character was unreasonable, angry, violent, and generally unloving. Overall the sociopolitical undertones of the movie were irritating. So grateful that I didn't spend a dime to see it.

The story line is cheesy. The acting and writing is iffy. But the lighting, set design all make for a light airy feel that works.

I wrote a scathing review recently about how Hollywood makes anyone who is white or male or worst yet, a white male be the butt of jokes, the bad guy, and so on.

The producers in this film got it diversity right. Good guys, bad guys come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

If a character is white or worse a white male, they will be the jerk, the dork, the laughing stock. They white guys will only get the girl if the girl is not white or a jerk, a dork, or a laughing stock herself.

The story is good but shallow. Not bad for a quick comedy.

Hollywood wants us to believe in nearly every script that the world is full of non-whites and non-hetrosexuals being the true leaders of society.

Would like to just watch a show without social politics getting forced into the writing.

As summer movies goes if the goal is simply action entertainment Wonder Woman does the job. The primary actors do a good job of bringing the characters to a live in a believable manner. Some of the plot doesn't add up. I was okay with that. I wasn't looking for a physics lesson.

A lot of media attention was focused on the femi-nazi's zeal of the movie because of the female heroine. Boy I bet they were disappointed. The island of tough chicks who made their outfits look hot were created by the leader of a group of Greek gods. They were created for the purpose of helping the gods or the people. I can't remember which one. What I did get out of it was that the gods were all men, they were all good except for one. Sorry third gen feminists, the world is still about the guys and the gals. No gender driven monopoly for you in this flick.
