Customer Ratings & Reviews

This movie reminded me of the Andromeda Strain, and the Thing. The budget is really big. Some people didn't like the long drawn subplot, but I am fine with it. It has a very odd theme music and from time to time, Dionne Warwick's songs can be heard in the show. (This brought back a lot of memories!) Without giving the plot away, three scientists/physicians from the Center of Disease Control go to a well funded private science research station somewhere near the North Pole after something went wrong and a few people died. I watched it on Netflix originally, and wanted to get myself a copy of the DVDs for my own collection. I tried to stretch it out by watching one episode per day! If you like sci-fi mixed with medicine thrown in with a bunch of good-looking actors, this could be for you. Can't wait until the 2nd season.

SyFy is known mostly nowadays for having movies so terrible they're fun, i.e. Sharknado. Which is unfortunate cause it sometimes overshadows the good work they do. I'm not saying all their shows are good. However, this one really is. Helix is a great mix of Outbreak, John Carpenter's: The Thing, 28 Days Later, and Resident Evil. Lots of great twists and turns as the season progresses. Every couple of episodes you change your mind on who you like or what side you think they're on. I watched this series when it aired. But I just knew my wife would like it. When we sat down the weekend we bought it we couldn't shut it off! At least until I had to get up to change the discs. Then I had to convince her that we REALLY needed to get out of bed and get some stuff done. It's that good, you won't want to turn it off. And it's one of those series that when it's over you'll want to watch it all again and see what you missed the first time around. Highly recommend and can't wait for season 2!!!

I can't not say enough great things about this show. The plot, acting, episode cliffhangers, wow....I highly recommend this show. There is some drama/mystery, thriller, sci-fi, and just a slight bit of horror mixed in. It will keep you on the edge of your seat & anxious for season 2!

This show suprised me, It was not what I had expected it to be and turns out thats a good thing. Full of unexpected plot twists and many "what just happened" moments, it will be great to watch from start to finish. Best Buy had the BEST DEAL as always on this so I made sure to grab it when I could.

I highly enjoyed that the show is written with a great deal of science as the focus. I enjoyed the entire show a lot more because of the underlying current of exploration. I'm not sure where they'll take it for season 2, but as long as it stays connected to the lab experiments.. I'M IN !!!

If there's one show that became a surprise hit it's Helix. This show feels more like one long movie, and the budget alone makes it look beautiful on Blu-ray. The cast is great and this is definitely worth it on blu.

I love this show. It's zombies in a biological terror kind of way. I also like the cheesy elevator music as the theme song. It's funny! If we ever have a zombie apocalypse, this is probably how it will happen.

Excellent story line from concept to finale. Had to watch it from beginning to the end of season 1. Can't wait for season 2.

It can sometimes feel like the writers have lost their minds, but I think they end up tying everything together in the end. Its a good science fiction tv series.

I can never get enough of the twists in this show. I didn't get to see the final episodes and bought this on Black Friday. Great price, even if not on sale.

Always like Bill Campbell and he certainly did not disappoint in this. Love having the whole season in a set so I can just start from the beginning to the end without waiting.

Really didn't know what to expect from this show but I was really pleasantly surprised! Definitely a thriller and can be a bit scary at times but it's excellent and smart.

I really love this scifi TV show and really glad that it was released on BD. The PQ/AQ are really good, but the content extras are okay, nothing to special though.

The special effects catch your eye from the start with the creepy plague that makes people's veins black and their heads explode. What's not to like?

Excellent new Syfi series! We fell in love with the first episode through to the end. Can't wait for season two to air.

I wasn't sure about this show at first, but once I started watching and getting into it I was hooked. Great new show and can't wait for more seasons.

An absolutely thrilling show that keeps you on your toes. A pretty awesome story, and a pretty great cast.

I found the behaviour of the lead characters to be incomprehensible and inconsistent, if not downright ludicrous in responding to the circumstances they were presented with... very, very distracting and irritating. Overall, though, the production values seemed high, with the gore definitely stretching the bounds of television (it's actually good to see TV move out from under the lowest common denominator).

I did nt know much about this show but I liked one of the actors. So I got it and I'm glad I did.

Excellent SciFi action movie, The acting and story are excellent. Looking forward to Season 2!
