I finally found a great what if wwiii thriller!
I have been looking for a world war iii thriller for years. I came across a list on wikipedia of nuclear war based movies. So I finally located this one which looked the most promising on the list considering its good actors and being produced by HBO who is known for excellent miniseries. And let me tell you, it does not disappoint! We are talking about no joke nuclear war and started in a way you can swallow. No annoying love stories, just one close relationship between a b52 pilot and his co-pilot but at least its done in flight. All and all a great thriller. If you are a wwiii movie junkie like me, you MUST see this film!
Battlestar Galactica (2004)
Hands down the absolute all time best show on television.
BSG is in short, everything a show should be. It has something for everyone. To watch an hour of the show is to be a final member of humanity; struggling to survive against the onslaught of killer machines. You feel for the characters as they develop through their great triumphs and massive amounts of pain and misery. One thing sci fi shows often miss is a real environment, most are filled with unbelievable aliens and ridiculous technology. BSG gives you what could be our believable future and makes it easy to swallow. As for the story arcs, they are one in a million. Waiting a week for the next part is pure torture. In between cylon attacks and great battles, there is the everyday issues of living in struggling fleet, supplies, dealing with a beaten down public and trying to govern and keep order. Its not just about battling robots, its about a whole lot more. Give the show a chance if you haven't already, if you already did, give it another one, it will surprise you. This show never lets you down.
