The Twilight Zone Audience Reviews

ShangLuda Admirable film.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
jdollak Now that I've worked my way through this series of Twilight Zone, I feel like I can make an informed opinion about it.There are a few decent stories in here, particularly How Much Do You Love Your Kid. But for the most part, a lot of these episodes play like reheated leftovers. There's very little that still tastes fresh.But I have a hard time blaming the show for this.The difficulties that this version has is that the original version was too successful, and the storytelling models it established have become ingrained in our culture. While clever writers can still write original stories with original twists, these writers clearly wanted to make the show feel like the Twilight Zone. So they lifted several of the twists. There aren't many surprises during the series, and the writing doesn't lift up a lackluster story like the original TZ could.Even though Twilight Zone isn't able to be revived in a meaningful way, there's still Black Mirror to tide over fans of cleverly observed sci-fi anthology stories.
Realrockerhalloween Another heave hole try in the enchanting world created originally by Rod Sterling now updated for a new generation and failing terribly. Going 44 episodes the new Zone ranged from a great idea taken in a great direction before crashing and burning anticlimactically. Most of the caste were washed up hasbeens or no talents and never have any emotional impact. The opening looked cheap, a lame guitar ripe and computer cgi graphics. I could do better myself during free time without a budget. Another issue was the graphic sex scenes shoved in almost every episode making it a sensual series and quite like the revival of the outer limits instead of doing it's own thing or trying to be the brand name.I tried to give it a chance, but the show doesn't have any new offerings to serve and the old stories recreated are bland without any new twists only making you want to watch the original ones instead. Plus Forress Whitaker tries his best but his voice is to easy going not hoarse or sinister making any horror attempt fall flat.You can judge it on your own merits rather it has held up over time. But my rewatch only enforced how bad an attempt it turned out to be.
Wood28 i like this franchise but this version is the best yo!its got todays biggest stars entering the twilight zone plus it has a cool host and cool theme song they should make a 2nd season of this yo!i watch it on wb on Saturday and i watch the original version with Rod Serling whenever i can onscience-fiction channel and it rocks yo!UPN shouldn't of canceled it yo!upn should renew it homies!my first episode was eye of the beholder cause it was true to the original yo!my favorite episode of the original was time enough at last because it was funny (especialy the end)yo!i wish i had UPN when this show aired but sadly i did not=( yo!
George Mussman (GEM-20) I thoroughly enjoyed this revival of Serling's classic. In fact, there were a couple of episodes that were re-makes of original shows, and one was a sequel to an episode done back on the original series.Beyond those, there were plenty of stories that were original and well done themselves. This show was certainly superior to the one done back in the mid-'80s. They really seemed to do Mr. Serling proud. It's unfortunate that UPN canceled this after one season. I enjoyed all of it.I really liked Forrest Whitaker as the host of this new "Zone". He did a wonderful job here. Do I sound like I recommend this show? YES!
