Riverworld (2003) TV

Riverworld

Welcome to legendary author Philip José Farmer's Earthlike afterlife, where people from every era have been reborn young and healthy — and where an astronaut and a motley assortment of allies battle an ancient Roman emperor and a Viking warlord for the soul of humanity.

In the year 2009, a meteor shower above Earth claims the life of astronaut Jeff Hale (Brad Johnson of the Left Behind movies, Steven Spielberg's Always and TV's Soldier of Fortune, Inc.). He awakens in an ocean of jade-green geodesic bubbles, as a mysterious cloaked figure pierces him with a pike. Dazed and in pain, he soon finds himself crawling onto a beach littered with canisters of clothing. Soon dozens of people from different lands and eras emerge from the water.

This movie is awesome, the story is great. Specially the future and past stories. I enjoy so much seeing Kevin Smith(Ares) for a short while, it brings so many good memories of his Hercules acting. Although it was sad knowing I would not enjoy his talent anymore.
One of the thing I must enjoy was the rivalry of Nero and Hale through all the movie. Also enjoy the characters of Sam and Monat. All the thing about the ship and the fight for it was great. The only downside of the movie is that I was left wishing to see more. So the end could be a little dissapointment. For me it was but don't take my enjoyment of the movie. Well, maybe they're planning to continue the saga in another movie. I hope so.

Definite possibilities for a sequel or a series too....

Yeah, knowing Scifi probably a sequel have more opportunities. I hope they consider it.
