I was actually terrified when I read about the possible movie of UFO at the io9.com website. After what JJ Abrams did to Trek in this recent release i do NOT want to see what some arsehole will do to my fav all time Brit SF series. Abrams' Trek is pure unadulterated doo-doo - an amalgam of Lucas' first stoooopid Star Wars film of the very late second group, Transformers and a touch of Wrath of Khan. To say this film stunk would be paying it too high a compliment. Poor taste, poor casting, no plotline, stupid villain with no motivation (at least Khan was PO'ed about being left on that hunk o junk planet with those awful worms), and a total ruination of everything Trek stood for. No, if this is what is in store for UFO, I don't wanna see it, much less know another piece of my childhood was raped.....Pam the Canuck....

If a UFO movie really does get made, then the likelihood for a Blu-ray
release of the original series goes up I would think. :-) And who
knows, maybe they'd even redo it in the correct aspect ratio, rather
than the current widescreen HDTV transfers.

Yes, I do not hold up much hopes that this will be any better or more
successful than the THUNDERBIRDS remake... but I'll certainly watch
it no matter how bad it is... :-)
