I had often heard of this show and was curious about it. I tracked it down on YouTube and have become hooked on the adventures of Cade Foster and Crazy Eddie. Although some elements remind me of The Fugitive, War Of The Worlds and The Invaders, First Wave is a likable show with decent story telling, likable heroic characters including alien Joshua. First Wave doesn't rely on gore ( as did WOTW) to bolster its storylines but rather one man's quest to clear his name and to save the world. I'm watching Season 3 which is progressing well with evil alien Mabus, reluctant alien Joshua and ex porn star Traci Lords as Jordan Radcliffe whose family were killed by the Gua. Although the show is twenty years old its aged well and its a shame it was cancelled and it isn't on DVD. If not for YouTube I would never have discovered this gem. Far better than WOTW Season Two and although a little familiar in places, check out this series, trust me, you won't regret it.

Fury has now become one of my fave war films alongside Cross Of Iron, Stalingrad and Das Boot. The film follows young soldier Norman Ellison as he joins the crew of Fury, all these men are veterans of North Africa and Normandy. We see Norman ascend to acceptance by the other crew members. For me the highlight of the film was the duel with the Tiger and the end battle. Would the Waffen SS have attacked in such a fashion? Beyond a doubt, many of these guys would have fought in the East and would have retained their devotion to Adolf Hitler. All the cast give good performances and the tension with the two German girls reaches unbearable heights, yes, the language is strong and the violence is graphic, despite the hopelessness of the situation many German soldiers fought on. As the tagline states "War Never Ends Quietly." An animal is dangerous when cornered. Fury is now No.2 on my War Film list, I would like to see a film about British troops though. As much as I like Fury-I live in hope!

I watched this a few nights ago with a friend, if you like "A Netflix and chill lads night in". ten mins in I said, "28 Days Later meets Girl With All the Gifts." He said, "Seen this all before!" As for the military aspect, well we were both crying with laughter. my friend has served in special forces and he was in hysterics. Why would American SpecForces be involved in an op like this. Since when have U.S. Rangers used Ruger Mini 14s? Why? FN SCARS or M4 Carbines, Brit SpecForces Diemaco L119A2s. The combat scenes are overdone, the sex scene boring, the film overlong. In this situation there is no way this side of hell even the best soldiers would make it out alive. This is watchable-just-but also tedious because there is nothing original. However, the London setting is quite well done and the cheorography quite good. Occasionally enjoyable but ultimately forgettable-from a military viewpoint-watch StrikeBack instead!

Brilliant film! How people could call this propaganda is beyond me! I have been in this situation and the way people are treated is despicable. I remember being on an "IT User Skills Course" which was laughable because I was none the wiser when it ended. A young lady on the course was sanctioned because she found it impossible to apply for the 23 jobs the jobcentre asked of her. She was sanctioned and because she couldn't afford Christmas presents tried to kill herself while the little Nazi who sanctioned her sat down to Christmas dinner. Ian Duncan Smith should have been put on trial since other people have died or have been made homeless. I cried when Daniel died in this film and felt proud when Katie read his speech. This film asks one question; Can one man make a difference. Yes! It isn't the winning that counts, it's the fighting. Daniel found justice through Katie-but the fight for a fair welfare state goes on. Well done Mr Loach. This is the truth!!!

Terrible. The Germans were wearing the wrong kind of uniforms. The officer was part of an SS Division not formed until 1942. The Parachute regiment wasn't formed until 1941. The British characters looked like they'd escaped from a jumble sale. Wrong weapons for British soldiers in France in 1940. The dodgiest French accents since Allo Allo. Americans in France in 1940. America was still neutral. The German with the Fez, the only division to wear a fez was the Bosnian Muslim Handschar Division. Germans driving vechiles festooned with swastikas. I could go on. Watch the Christopher Nolan film. At least its historically accurate. Laughable.

An original action packed series, plenty of guns, action, Jim Cavezial is brilliant. Another winner from JJ Abrams
