Mariage bionique

I watched this film yesterday when it was repeated on the Sci-Fi channel, I'm too young to remember the 'Six Million Dollar Man' and 'The Bionic Woman' the first time round but I can remember watching repeats of the shows.

I enjoyed this movie although I did feel like it spent a little bit too long setting up the situation rather than resolving it.. but that's a small niggle when you have two very watchable characters played by actors who seem to be having a ball.

I would say this was made more for fans of the shows rather than new viewers, since it doesn't spend a lot of time re-introducing the older characters.

In my 30's now, I loved this reunion. This time around, at the end Steve ends up in a precarious state, and Jaime has to save him. Go Feminism! And the ending when Jaime uses a manhole cover as a Frisbee to stop the bad guys.....way funny! Also their bionics getting corrupted by a virus.....70's technology with updates! Great sci-fi drama! I wish I could find this movie and the series on DVD, as it brings back fun memories, with a twist of modern technology we can all realte to when we have a computer problem. Some network should re run this and release the deries for the fans. I bet even kids today would love this movie!

This was A good movie...I THINK.. The problem being.. It's been about four or five years. Since I've seen it. They air Bionic showdown and the return of the six million dollar man and the bionic woman on a regular basis. That's cool. Those are great! But where is BIONIC EVER AFTER. AND WHERE ARE THE VIDEOS? GET WITH THE PROGRAM UNIVERSAL!

Was I glad to see some more of Steve and Jaime. I just loved the 1970's series. However I missed two things in all three reunion movies. First of all, I missed the 1970's look (furniture, clothes, cars, etc.) since I believe the 1970's was the ONLY decade that had style and taste (I hated the 1980's). But most importantly, where were the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman theme music? It was a mistake not to include the themes. In fact, almost all remakes/reunion movies used the theme of the original shows. Just look at Mission Impossible, The Saint, The Wild Wild West, The Avengers, SWAT, etc. They all used the themes of the shows those movies were based upon. It wouldn't be James Bond without the James Bond theme. Yet sadly in none of the SMDM-BW reunion movies the theme from either show was present.

Also, of the three reunion movies, this one is the worst. The story is bad and one has to wait until the end of the movie for a slow motion sequence (once the show's trademark). And why would Rudy Wells make Jaime's healthy eyes bionic? Weren't bionics meant to be used for reconstructive surgery?

Although for me this was the weakest of all three bionic reunion movies, it made up for it in the end with the -finally!- wedding of Steve and Jaime. The movie itself just did'nt click right for some reason and REALLY looked low budget compared to the other two. [for example: The whole jaime having enhanced eyesight with her bionic ear was too much for even me to swallow and i've been forgiving of the special effects but did expect better in this movie. It would be cool to have an updated version of this show.. oops spoke too late "jake 2.0" just started last week. Shows like this [buck rogers & battle star galactica, etc...] live in the perfect bubble of 70's tv show; all gooey and gummy and bell bottom pants! Todays audience are too smarty-pants to take a show like this seriously, but they are great to watch. Ask a twelve year old what a nanobot is and he'll probably talk your head off for an hour. ask a twelve year old what a transistor was in 1973 and you probably would have gotten a blank stare.... Still got copies of all three movies on tape and cant wait to get my DVD recorder so i can save 'em on DVD. So anybody think Steve and Jaime had any bionic rugrats? -hey- they gave her bionic legs to jump a four story building, why not give her a bionic uterus? ;)
