Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

rain-46 Two stars for effort of the cast with such a poor script. Started off OKay with a similar premise as the book, but totally, completely lost-the-plot early on. It turned into a very silly comic-book horror story full of very old and very tired clichés.The book was never meant to be a 'horror story' about man-eating plants, but about us, about humanity, or a commentary on "Human Nature". For example, even when faced with a common enemy and such destruction, 'Man is still his own worst Enemy', is just one of the many themes explored in the book.I will stick with the 1981 TV co-production version, which remains the best adaptation of this classic literary science-fiction novel.

philaulman I thought this adaptation was in large, good. I was only 5 when the original was on TV, so couldn't remember much about the story, save the giant man-eating plants and some blind people.I thought the actors did the best they could with a less-than-brilliant script. Dougray Scott was good as the main protagonist as was Eddie Izzard in his antagonist role.The real surprise in this version though was Joely Richardson. Although a talented actress, she must have been suffering an off-day, as her acting was dreadful. Could've been the script, but then again, most of the other actors managed okay. Top marks for the BBC though for managing to secure Brian Cox and "A Redgrave".All in all, good fun but with a few weak bits.

Paul Magne Haakonsen This 2009 mini TV series of "Day of the Triffids" is actually the first encounter I have had with the Triffids. I only just found out that there are older movies out there, when I went to write the review here on IMDb.Anyway, being unfamiliar with this franchise, I had no expectations as to what this TV series should deliver or live up to. I have to say that I found it to be adequately alright.The CGI effects were nice to look at, which really is the carrier of the series. The effects in here is what carries the show. But flesh-eating plants that move around? Well, I had a bit of a problem with that. Not really something within my field of interest. But I will not let that drag my opinion down.As for the cast and acting, well I thought it was alright. There were some fairly good faces on the casting list, and they did manage to provide sufficient entertainment throughout the entire series. Normally I do not like Jason Priestley, but he actually managed to shed his 90210 shackles in this production. So that was a great plus, for me at least.Now, what was halting here, in my opinion, was the overall story. Sure, there was a red line throughout the story, but there are just so many things that makes you go "hmmm, now why would that happen?" or "yeah, that is what would happen in a situation like that". And that was bringing the overall experience of the TV series down.I do not consider this 2009 remake of the "Day of the Triffids" to be a bad experience, it actually came off quite alright, and it was worth sitting through it, although I did doze off once or twice along the way.If you like sci-fi, and if you like movies that are not heavy on plot or requires all too much thinking, then you might find "Day of the Triffids" right up your alley. And I suspect the same goes if you are a fan of really old sci-fi flicks that have been brushed up and put up to speed with the current date and technology, then you might want to sink your teeth into this.

dianewaterhouse There are some absolutely stupid parts in this adaptation which make it almost unwatchable. Other reviews have already gone into this so I won't repeat. What doesn't seem to have been given much credit though is the acting. All of the actors involved were outstanding with the material they had been given. It's remarkable in itself that Eddie Izzard could even keep a straight face with some of the scenes/lines he was given (yes he managed it when walking out of a crashed plane covered in soot without a scratch, at seeing that scene I was laughing and I'm sure he will too when watching it back) I have to say he always seems to play an excellent bad guy! Dougray Scott and Joely Richardson were both great, again making the best of a bad script.In short, worth watching only for the brilliant acting
