This is a cool series that takes old characters and uses them to spoof Alien, TNG/VOY, and countless other sci-fi shows. The animation is well done, and the voices are true to the characters.

I think that it is great for older kids and adults because of some of the inside jokes that may confuse. However, if you know a bit about popular culture, you will see lots of cool gags and references to modern TV and film. I especially like the design of ships, as the earth ships are very classically styled and the Martian ships are kind of like Akira class vessels from Star Trek.

The episode "The Fudd" is based on the concept of the Borg from Star Trek in every way. It was cool to see Trek being used in such a funny way.

***No real spoilers ahead, as it is a documentary!***

This was a great movie looking at the effects of fast food on a persons health.

I know where it is coming from because I used to weigh 230 pounds (I am a barely 5'8" male) and lost 100 of them by cutting out bad fast food, as well as pasta, rice and other assorted heavy foods.

After viewing this, my wife did not want to eat McDonalds again. and was amazed my the content of the McNuggets (a staple food while she was pregnant, in addition to the fries) and how they are made. One thing to do when you rent this is go to the bonus features and play the "smoking fry" feature, where various McDonalds items are put in glass jars and left for 10 weeks. The fries progress will amaze you!

Overall, if you can handle a bit of grossness (completely necessary to get the point across)and medical footage, this is a great fun movie to see.

I want to get the DVD after seeing it!
