Genre: Documentary
Duration: 1 h 40 min

Cast: Gerry Anderson, Barbara Bain, Martin Bower

I've seen the TV series of "Space:1999" and thoroughly enjoyed watching them. My take on the series is that unlike most sci-fi's that are, what we call in South Africa, "skiet,skop en donner" movies, in other words, all action no talk, "Space:1999" is geared for the intelligent viewer. The dialogue is intelligent, the acting superb and the storyline actually has meaning. The only other series that compares is in my opinion, "Star Trek: Voyager". It also deals with the human psyche. There are times when the actors could have been put to the test, but all in all a good series. We rarely see movie of this "wholesome" caliber. I am saddened that so few were made. Ah, the good IL' days.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
