Quite enjoyable


Mini-series are great to watch, as they cover more ground than a film, but wrap up the story before it becomes too long, like a normal series.

Being a three part mini-series, I sum it up as:

First part was great.
Second part was not that good
Third part did a lot of things, however it was wrapped up nicely.

With all the shows and films about aliens, I never figured alien races could look like the devil. However, there was a softness and tenderness to Karellen. Appearances can definitely be deceiving.

The subjects of passing of time and life were dealt with nicely. The subject of a peaceful alien invasion/intervention was also dealt with well.

Definite re-watch value.

I haven't seen the series. But i would like to reccomend the book. Years ago I enjoyed it immensely. I assume there is a lot of differences especially the 3rd act, tho i cant recall details .

Thanks for the recommendation. A big reason why I watched this, was because it was based on the book written by Arthur C. Clarke.
