If you like Heavy Metal The Movie, Bakshi's Wizards, Conan, etc, you will love this. It was surprising how similar it is to those 70's/80's animation, with today's need to use so much digital animation.

I understand the episode I saw is a pilot, but I think this show has a lot of potential.

Since there was a lot of graphic violence it is appropriately rated 'MA'. However, very few language and sexual situations.

There were a few references to modern items (chewing gum, newspaper, etc.) in the show, but they weren't enough to spoil the feel.

My vote is for more episodes!

I don't see where the hype is for this film. My local store had 50 of them and they were all rented out for weeks.

The entire film was shot through what I call a tunnel-vision cam; that is, extreme close-ups and a cameraman who is constantly moving around (stop giving that guy coffee). I got The acting was great on BBT (of course) and pretty good on the rest. The story was fine, and it was refreshing to see the ending.

The film did an excellent job of showing the intense pressures placed on the coach & players. But had little else.

The special feature on the real players, though a great opportunity to show the real life characters, did a mediocre job. Most of the featurette was spent on clips from the film.

I'm not a fan of horror, and hate zombie movies. I didn't know anything about this except it was a popular video game many years ago.

This movie is not bad if you can get past the zombie slaughter fest. The plot is actually quite a good sci-fi story.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the lack of gratuitous violence which accompanies such schlock, especially since there were so many opportunities to show things like beheadings.

I didn't really need to have the fast-forward button close at hand to zoom through the zombie parts as they seemed to be fairly quick.
