Reviews:

Poor as an adaptation, okay as a standalone, much better anyhow than the 2010 movie
I do agree that the 2003 Riverworld is a poor adaptation of the books. I don’t think however that it was that bad as a standalone. It is vastly superior to the 2010 Riverworld which was a mess both as an adaptation and on its own merits. There are major problems with this Riverworld, the story does read of not just two books condensed into one movie but also of a pilot of a series that never happened. The telling of it suffers from important plot-points changed, skimmed over or cut, incongruous clichés, many predictable scenes and uneven pacing, having moments where it was rushed and others where it plodded. The script is lazy and stilted, the CGI Riverboat was poorly rendered and the characters have little of their interesting or likable traits, coming across as cardboard. However, technically the film doesn’t look too bad, unlike the 2010 movie it did have striking sets, had good photography and most of the effects were decent. The music has that fantasy-adventure sort of atmosphere without being over-bearing or generic and the acting from a largely unknown cast is above average. In conclusion, an okay film but leaves much to be desired. 5/10 Bethany Cox

Better than I expected, but with notable shortcomings
The idea of a fairly low-budget TV adaptation of a high-concept sci-fi/fantasy novel series like Riverworld led me to believe that it would probably be terrible. Judging by the quality of a lot of other recent TV sci-fi material, I knew I shouldn’t get my hopes up about this.

I was however positively surprised, and very much so. Despite the changes, which were understandable and acceptable, I thought this was a very well-crafted and admirable movie version. I only have one big complaint, which is what earns this movie a rating of 6 instead of something much better: There were far too little historical content.

The point of this whole scenario; what makes it cool, is that all of history is its playground. There can be a multitude of historical references, both in terms of cultures and individuals. The inclusion of Nero and his rocket-like rise to power was a *great* element, but there should have been a lot more of that kind of stuff. To only reveal Sam Clemens’ identity at the very end was a huge mistake; it should have been a major point from the moment they met him. And there should have been all sorts of other details. Where, oh where, was Sir Richard Burton, who in and of himself is a treasure trove of historical trivia?!!

The movie comes up short because of its low historical content. The writers obviously couldn’t be bothered to actually do some research, which is a great shame. Because otherwise this was a surprisingly well-produced movie. In the end, its shortcomings only makes one appreciate the novels all the more, giving one the urge to reread the real thing.

6 out of 10.
