Not a bad little Sci-Fi TV Movie starring the wonderful Lance Henriksen. Nano Technology is the way of the future and terrorists have come up with a wonderful new method - hiding the trigger for a bomb inside their bodies so if they are killed, the bomb goes off. Henriksen, an explosives expert and a team of specially trained scientist as sent to deactivate a trigger for a Nuclear weapon that will vapourise Munich and contaminate western Europe, the trigger is of course inside a loopy terrorist's body. To get to it, the team are shrunk down and sent into the terrorist in a little ship. Some nice visual effects inside the body and a reasonably enjoy film, if a little cliqued. But hey, it's Henriksen!
I'm a grown woman and i'm not ashamed to say I absolutely LOVED this series. I first saw it nearly 3 years ago now when it was shown on Sky One here in the U.K in 2 hour slots and I fell in love with it. I saw it when it was repeated, and I got it on video for my 19th birthday and I've seen it countless times now.
The Tenth Kingdom is a modern day fairy-tale. It starts out in New York where an ordinary young woman dreams of being something more than a waitress. She meets a talking dog, a wolf man tries to eat her Grandmother and her father gets knocked out by Troll dust and she soon finds herself hopping through an inter-dimensional mirror into one of the other 9 Kingdoms.
There are many little jokes for both kids and adults, and it's wonderful to imagine what would happen if Happily Ever After doesn't last forever. I'd love to see a sequel or at least a book (I have the novel too!) but its sadly unlikely, but catch this if you can as a re-run if you're a kid, or a big kid. You won't regret it.

When I read some reviews about how it appears to have no relation to SG:1, or even the film apart from having the gate I thought "Nah... It's Stargate! It can't be that bad!" But oh yes, it is. It's completely bizarre and I don't know WHAT the makers were thinking.
I'm sure that in it's own right it's an enjoyable show from a kids perspective, and when I get over the fact that it's so damn silly I might be able to enjoy it as mindless entertainment. Perhaps if I can catch the Pilot Episode It might make a little more sense, perhaps if it were set 50 into SG1's future, maybe more it'd be more believable?
