I was just googling about on Amazon when I saw this film and decided the plot summary was interesting enough to give it a go. Though understated, the plot jumped up and started running immediately. When it ended, it felt like hitting a wall at a run. The sudden realization that it was over and there was no second episode left me stunned and begging for more, but there was no more to be had. Cinema interruptus, to put a name to it. This show doesn't ask for a series, it stands up, stomps it's feet and demands a series. That those responsible for not provide one is a crime. I can only pray that someone with money and some sense of cinematic justice with pick up this poor orphan and give it the family of deserves.

When i heard a live action version of One Piece was in the offing, I couldn't imagine how they would adapt this acid trip of a show to live actors.

Well, after watching all of season one, I'm impressed. They dropped most of the insanity and actually managed to convert it into a decent bit of cinema. The mild plot rewrites produced a mature and cohesive show with legs, without sacrificing it's core.

Iñaki Godoy as Luffy was as perfect a casting as I have ever seen. He fully embodied this slightly more sane Luffy and the skills he demonstrated in "The Imperfects" were a mere foreshadowing of what he is capable of. He carries this show quite ably without diminishing his co-stars.

Well done, I can hardly wait for the next season.

They basically threw everything but the kitchen sink into this film, but they kind of forgot the ending. :( As others have noted, it had enough turnabouts to set your head spinning, and any attempt to predict where it was going was bound to failure.

I liked the noir-ish feel of the old space serials, clearly the makers of this film were heavily influenced by that genre.

If you be looking for a serious SF show, you be lookin in the wrong place watching this - but if you were in the mood for a light romp with lots of plot twists, this should be just your cup 'o tea.

I'd have given it an 8 if it had a more satisfactory ending.
