I shouldn't have watched the entire season in one day but I regret nothing
This series is great for the typical sci-fi watcher, and is a sort of campy, yet a little darker, feel. If you like Stargate series with a dash of SGU, then this show is for you. The pilot and first part of season 1 start off slow, with character building and just getting an overall feel for the setting. This is what happens with all new series. Luckily, they ease you in to a very good mystery by the end of season 1 and should continue to make for a great series.
As visually spectacular as you would expect from a Ridley Scott film (although the 3D is terrible and best avoided), this is equally hampered by a similar issue that plagued Kingdom of Heaven - it feels like there is a stronger director's cut waiting in the wings. The opening portion of the film, detailing Moses' life as an Egyptian prince feels rushed and disjointed and it is really only when he is exiled that the film settles into a much stronger edit. Bale gives a strong performance throughout as a more conflicted central character than previous depictions of Moses and there is an interesting choice to introduce a certain element of ambiguity to the more overt religious aspects of the story - the film treads a fine line between suggesting natural causes and more spiritual ones throughout. This makes for a much more interesting take on a very familiar story, but equally it is likely that a future cut will vastly improve the disjointed nature of some of the film.
