User Reviews

Great to see Erin Gray and Tom O'Connor together again!

I don't usually write reviews at all, but as a fan of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" which aired in the late 1970's I just had to chime in here. Erin and Tim were charming to see again together. I think their scenes together were pure gold. I only wish there had been more of them.

In particular, when they have the long scene together in the last third of the film as they discuss religion and other aspects of spirituality and immortality I was mesmerized. As long as the scene was I really wanted it to go on longer. It also made the big reveal at the end that much cooler.

And being a sci-fi fan it was a real treat to see Gary Graham from the 'Alien Nation' series a ways back and the Star Trek 'Enterprise' series of just a few years ago.

I do recommend this film, with no reservations whatsoever. Its content goes where very few films do. A big thumbs up!
