Review of Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) by Nathaniel C — 27 Nov 2009

When I was a kid I loved Twilight Zone. Who cares if its the original, the 80's, or the newer series they were all good to me. I mean till this day Ill watch some episodes and still enjoy it. The funny thing is I didn't know there was a movie until last year when I was flipping through channels.

I watched and I hated it I told myself Twilight Zone is meant for TV not the big screen. Just a couple days ago I saw it was instant streaming off of netflix. This time I actually enjoyed it, but it did come with a set of bad moments.

First off I like how they took the shows and remade them instead of just making up new ones it really brought back nostalgia. It also had some real good acting and they did well being like the original cast of the original episode.

Though they remade episodes they also brought a new style to it. It really did seem to get a lot crazier in each episode especially the one with Andy. The problems are that even though some of the main cast are good at there roles a lot of the supporting cast fail to do a good job, and as they say life is about the people around you.

So I believe the supporting is as important as the main character. One more bad thing is that its very sloppily put together. It doesn't seem to transition well. For example in the first scene with Dan Aykroyd where he scares some one in a car ?is not supposed to go behind a segment about being racist.

Funny thing is these are actually two originally made ones not from the show, and I really didn't like them. So in the end it has some good main actors and is great homage to the original show, but has parts that lack and a supporting cast that doesn't do very well.
