Review of Red Dwarf

Red Dwarf (1992 TV Movie)
10/10
An Excellent Adaption of the Original Series
31 May 1999
This is a surprisingly wonderful version of Red Dwarf. Good copies are hard to come by however even at the usual bad quality copies are more that enough to convey the bright promise of this version. In some ways it is funnier than the original "The End". The effects and special sequences are used to enhance the storytelling not hinder it. Although the entire cast, save Kryten, has been recast the magic glow of smegginess remains. Not only do some of the jokes pack more of a punch and some wonderful new material shines through, the story itself is more dramatically sound. This altered version has a more tragic moment for Lister entering stasis and a better explanation for his actions regarding Frankenstein, his pet Cat. The crew holds up as the biggest whacked out bunch of space bums ever to set foot in an alternative dimension.
