Yo People, this is not the Brad Johnson version.

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2010

Verified Purchase

Today the SyFy channel showed this updated 4-hour version of this movie. It is not the one with Brad Johnson. I have seen that one and it is not even close to being as good as this version. I just hope that if I pre-order this one I don't get the older one. Okay, there are some actors/actresses in here whom I don't know by name. I had to go to the SyFy channel web-site to find the names. The main actors are, Alan Cumming, Tahmoh Penikett, Laura Vandervoort, Peter Wingfield and Jeananne Goossen who plays this fine Japanese female Samurai warrior. Also from the SyFy site, the DVD movie is 178 minutes long. From what I remember from the first movie, there are more female lead characters in this one. Old people come back in their prime years, around 25-35 years old and there are no children. Yes, we have Sir Richard Burton, but no Nero, thank god. There is a gay male couple and a male lip-lock is shown on TV. The alien caretakers of this world are shown as well as a conflict between factions in the alien race. And, characters come back if they are killed either by suicide or other causes, but others don't for some reason. More is learned about the aliens and about the background of the story. The Riverworld planet is said to be @ 100 times bigger than Earth and the Earth was destroyed about 6 years after our main character died. I couldn't see this as a full blown series though. Maybe a 10 hour mini-series. Yes, they could stretch this movie a little longer to put an end that makes sense. You will see when you watch this one. The story is better told than the first version. Way to go SyFy channel.

Future cult classic

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

Over the years the Scifi cable channel has done a few of these major theater quality productions. In 2000 their four hour extravagant production of "Dune" became in my opinion the best video version ever made of this classic. If you can find the original DVD, grab it for your collection. As for Riverworld, it was made in Canada and didn't rise quite to that level, but from the perspective of ten years ago it holds up very well and is immensely enjoyable to watch. Highly recommended.

Enjoyable if your expectations are low

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2011

Verified Purchase

I'll shift my comparison of the books to this mini-series to the comments section, to save space.

Overall, I thought it was a fun, entertaining 3 hours. I recommend splitting this in half while watching it, though. I only vaguely remember SciFi's earlier attempt at this story, but this new version is definitely closer to the original, for both good and bad.

This miniseries was intended to be the pilot of a series, so as such, I can forgive its incompleteness. Anything left unexplained could be covered in future episodes. However, considering the possibility that this won't be turned into a series, they really should have explained Burton's motivations more fully. There are a few problems with the plot, for instance: Clemens steals the boat from Pizarro. He heads upstream towards the source of the river. An unknown amount of time later, he meets Pizarro. This could work if Pizarro died, came back to life upstream, and established a new kingdom, I guess, but do you buy that explanation? Rewiring everyone's heads to speak English is, well, okay, it's cheesy, but what do you want them to do?

Reagarding the actors/characters: The hero is fine, I suppose, and is appealing to the ladies. Laura Vandervoort and the actresses playing the Japanese and Italian women are attractive, so I'll have to exempt myself from judging their acting skills. I don't have a problem with the Caretaker aliens. The actor playing Clemens/Twain is more of a charicature than a character. The actor playing Burton gets a pass here, because most people don't have an idea of how Richard Burton (the 19th century British explorer, not the 20th century actor) is supposed to act. I'm guessing the writers were told from on high "you must have a black character and a gay character" so they deliberately made these their weakest characters to express their resentment.

Personally, I'd rather see them start all over again rather than try to turn this into a series. X-files had its "monster of the week" format, Smallville had a "meteor freak of the week," would Riverworld have its "famous historical person(s) of the week?" How long would that be interesting? Where were they planning on going with this series? If they had the folks behind Battlestar Galactica or Lost do this instead, the quality of the plot and acting would improve drastically, but we'd get yet another series in which there are no pure heroes or villians (which could work) and which ends with a lot of loose ends and a finale that ticks off a lot of people (which would suck). Maybe if they stuck even closer to the books... nah, that'll never happen.

2.5 stars rounded up to 3 because I'm feeling generous.

Excellent SyFy production

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2011

Verified Purchase

I caught the first half of Riverworld on SyFy. I loved the depiction of this beautiful but frightening and strange world and was impressed by the performances--particularly Tahmoh Penikett in the lead as Matt and Jeananne Goossen as the female samauri Tomoe. The inclusion of fellow Battlestar alums Aleks Paunovic (Sgt Fischer--Bernardo in Riverworld) and Alessandro Juliani (Gaeta--Daniel Glass in RW) was a plus since I consider Battlestar to be one of the best cast shows of all time. Riverworld is definitely worth a few re-visits through the years so I bought it.

A scifi orginal!

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2012

Verified Purchase

I must say that this a great movie for those who enjoy the scifi genre. This film caught my attention when I watched it on the Syfy channel. It takes a different approach to what happens after this life is over. I really enjoyed the characters and how different they were. The characters come from all different nations and centuries. It makes the movie really enjoyable because the director did a good job of having the characters interact and mesh well together.

I don't know why this movie stuck in my head, it is not a very good movie, but I guess I liked the idea of reincarnation and the story. Great DVD. Most will probably be disappointed in this movie.

Fun To Watch

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2010

Verified Purchase

For a SyFy Channel production, it's well-done and fun to watch. It's a worthwhile modern adaptation of the Phillip Jose Farmer tale. I always thought he was much better with concepts than the actual writing, and this version seems to do a good job of bringing the concept forward for today's audience. It certainly seems like it was intended to be a pilot episode for a potential series. There is plenty of potential for a series, especially if the writers keep a no-holds-barred attitude and don't get too pigeon-holed with the characters -- and they're interesting, very workable characters, for the most part.

A separate movie but sort of a continuing story.

Reviewed in Canada on February 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is not the same movie with Brad Johnson! This is a new movie with other fine actors telling a different but continuing story. I found this movie to be just as good and I highly recommend it too. When I see any others like this, I will definitely buy them. The author of the books wrote several with the same name. The plot concept I enjoyed in both DVD's and if you get them, I hope you will too.

Very different type of movie that would be appreciated by only special types of people. Definitely not the commercial movies of today with special effects and explosions in lieu of a real story. In this case the story is a bit confused but quite interesting.

I expected more. The title caught my attention and the photographic imagery on the cover was also catching. After viewing this movie, however, I felt that they did not achieve a successful level of interest. There is much potential in the story and the characters, but it just seemed not to really have come up to snuff.
