Audience Member I watched it when it first aired, and more than a dozen times since. It had a great cast. It had stories within stories. I still think it as Anne of Green Gables on heroin. Sometimes you really don't need zombies, phasers or spaceships. A lot of the time, you just need a doctor in a strange environment and circumstance (a nod to Doctor in a blue box). In short, this movie was wonderful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Strange and compelling sci-fi epic that while a little over the top in over-selling it's themes; still holds up to a 25 year rewatch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Rather brilliant movie with the two sides of the planet not only having different cultures but different tech, and you also get a late 19th to early 20th century to 1940s feel about Driscoll along with some fantasy elements. Would be a great collectors item if found on DVD or similar... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member SO. FULL. OF. WONDER. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Earth doctor is assigned to a remote planet in civil war for his internship in the year 3040. I was troubled, with good reason, by the box description likening it to 'a sci-fi Northern Exposure'. Actually a tv pilot, which may explain certain plot elements not being fully explored. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member some might remember this miniseries / pilot from 1995; the sci-fi / fantasy storyline was quietly brilliant and well made for its time Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
