The choice to cast Michael Pare to play Eddie Wilson was well thought out, his actual voice matched the songs perfectly, you actually believe he's singing. I played this movie nonstop 28 yrs ago when my first daughter was born and sang along to get her to sleep when she was in a crib. Now being in my 60's I need a couple of mixed drinks to keep my voice from cracking, but I still sing along every time I watch it. The only other musical movie I would compare to it in rating and storyline would be Pure Country 2 - the Gift. I give this movie a 100 for both storyline and music scores and also a 10 for sequel.

This show is a classic story following people lost in a different time zone. People like to complain about everything now a days, this show is good. Sure the budget is high but so is gas, and a cup of coffee doesn't cost 10c anymore either. People don't seem to comprehend that budget isn't just filming. You have writers, equipment travel expenses, location rentals, 1000's of people working to build the sets. These aren't home movies filmed with a go-pro and edited on an applesauce computer, well maybe it was on a Mac to save money. There is only one thing that matters it's good and needs to be enjoyed for what it's about not how good the special effects are, that's just childish talk from the immature society we have today. You probably cheer when another school shooting happens because your so immature if you don't just enjoy what you watch and if you don't like it buzz off and let those of us who are evolved enjoy it.

2 1/2.hrs for Part 1 is just about right considering the original was.4 1/2 hrs long in 3 Parts. How long are we going to have to wait for Part 2? Their ships with the 4 wings look like the bug ship from LEX of the flying pets from Man of Steel on Krypton flown by Russell Crowe while running from Zod's troops. And as with all good movies made today it was made in Canada not Hollywood. I'm hoping after Part 2 they remake the Children of Dune story too. You can never get enough Sci-Fi out of Hollywood but Canada is a different story, they always come through for the fans. Jason Momoa is quickly becoming the Number 1 actor in everything he appears in and hopefully will keep bringing the best out in every role he brings to the screen. While remakes are getting better as time goes by I'm still waiting for someone to bring the EON books and the Rama books to the screen.
