Title: Disappointing and Inconsistent with the TV Shows
Product review: I am a huge fan of the series. Comedy science fiction must be a difficult thing to write well because you rarely see it done and even more rarely find it written well but the television series was a hit on both accounts. The Back to Earth movie, however, was at best a lazy attempt at reproducing the magic that was Red Dwarf and at worst a malicious stab at the heart of everything that made people love the show. So many things I liked about the series are corrupted. Its other-worldliness is gone by having it on Earth; the relationship with Kochanski is over; the postulation about the future where Lister and the cat are all that is left and which is surprisingly hopeful, suddenly becomes farce when the Red Dwarf characters find the reason for their existence. Where is the laugh track? Where is the music?If you are a fan, get this because you will want everything Red Dwarf but do not expect much.
