Awful. I don’t mind the megastructure concept. I don’t mind stretching scientific credibility. But this is so scientifically illiterate it hurts. If you have the slightest grasp of science and engineering give it a miss!!

Typical US “on the nail” morality tail. No subtlety. Didn’t find it amusing or even enjoyable to sit through. My five year old didn’t mind it but the heavy narrative style means he probably won’t be going back to it. One for the book lovers I guess.

I think the portrayal of Fogg is a good one. The journey around the world is simply a "heroes journey" narrative to hang his transformation on. But fundamentally a man with low self esteem reinvents himself is a better proposition that Verne's insufferably pompous colonial know it all.

Fact check this film before watching it. It is right wing, christian evangelical propaganda at its worst masquerading as a documentary. US virus being transmitted globally by IMDB TV. Should not be allowed.

Everything you want from G & S.

Poor knock off of Saturday Kitchen - without the energy and atmosphere of the original and with annoying commercial breaks. How many successful hosts of BBC shows have allowed their inflated egos and the promise of a large paycheck to lead them into the obscurity of ITV’s pale imitation machine? Seems James has plunged off the career cliff.
