Dark Angel Reviews

I started to watch Dark Angel before all the hype about Jessica Alba started and I still thought she was awesome. Anyway, Dark Angel has an amazing original concept and a great cast to help pull this through. It is post apocalyptic America and an under the radar government program called Manticore breeds the perfect soldiers. Jessica Alba as Max ...  Read the complete review

Need more heart, but instead just felt good. - Advantages: looks great, has cool music, Jessica Alba - Disadvantages: directionless story, characters not developed enough

My 'Dark Angel' or DA (I have always been just so fond of abbreviations) phase began one Monday night when I was channel-surfing in vain for something worthwhile to watch. "Music videos from the Seventies? No. A Popeye the Sailor Man marathon? No. Oh please let 'The Simpsons' be on- damn, they've just finished for the ...  Read the complete review

The Beginning ************* The opening sequence that kicks off every episode is a monologue with a background of a test tube baby in the background.... "They designed her to be the perfect soldier...a human weapon...then she escaped. In a future not far from now...in a broken world...she is haunted by her past. She ...  Read the complete review

As I am just writing this I remember that Dark Angel is no longer on Sky One. It used to be shown on a Wednesday night at 9pm after the show Roswell high. As soon as I saw the first episode I was hooked. I started not going out with my friends on a Wednesday night just so I could see it. I know there are video machines but it doesn’t ...  Read the complete review

James Cameron has been an outstanding director in the field of science fiction ever since he made Terminator in 1984. Since then, with films such as Aliens, The Abyss and Terminator 2 he has only confirmed that. While not exactly the most original (post holocaust society? Computers "gone bad"?), they certainly have enough tension and ...  Read the complete review

I've just enjoyed the first (after pilot) episode of Dark Angel. The stories may be weak, as in much of this genre, but the sets are stunning, as is Jessica Alba. Whereas Buffy (which I think it is trying to compete with for the teen market) is ridiculous - imagine one school full of so many vampires - Dark Angel does have a possibly factual ...  Read the complete review

Sky One has been plugging this series over the past few weeks, and now here it is, slipped in right after Stargate. Darn, another two hour session with Sky One now on Wed, not just Fri! Is it any GOOD? Yes - with good potential. It's a pilot so far, so only two hours and while sometimes the plot drags a little to get us introduced to ...  Read the complete review

So, what grabbed my attention when I started seeing the adverts for Dark Angel? What was it that made me want to watch this program alongside so many other action series on telly nowadays? I'll admit the sight of Jessica Alba had a fair bit to do with it, she is drop dead gorgeous, and seems just right for the part, looking ...  Read the complete review
