 Classic King at his best November 2, 2008
Golden Years is one of Stephen Kings best works. I just wish it would have continued, as the ending left a lot to the imagination.
Loved it! June 23, 2008
as a Stephen King fan, I loved this when it was first shown on tv, and I loved it when I watched it again on DVD.
 Not a miniseries: Prematurely cancelled February 7, 2008
When this show first aired, it was my absolute favorite. I loved the sci-fi concept, the fugitive-style stay one step ahead story, and of course the titular David Bowie song.
The reason why I've given this dvd 2 stars is that the full story was never allowed to unfold. This is NOT a miniseries. This was a full-fledged television series, meant to play out over a number of seasons. The main character, Harlan, who ages backwards, was played by an actor in his mid-thirties. Had the show been kept on the air for two or three seasons, we would have seen him regress back to that age.
The slapped-together series finale was poorly handled, though really there was no good solution. The show was dependent on having multiple seasons, and no ending could have worked. Better to simply pass it by and remember the show for what it was: an intriguing television experiment that was not allowed to work.
I do think sometimes: In the modern age of cable channels putting out quality shows, wouldn't it be wonderful if a channel like Sci-Fi were to commit to three years of a Golden Years remake, and do it right this time?
Abridged Version May 12, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Years ago, I had the opportunity to watch the complete Golden Years miniseries. Great series; I really liked it.
This, however, is not it. This piece is a butchered version of the original-- cut down to fit the media, I suspect. It is better than nothing.... but not by a whole lot.
I wouldn't hold my breath for a full version; there's not enough interest in it. My advice: Buy it second-hand for a cheap price.
 Would have Been Five Stars, But..... January 7, 2003
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
This movie was one fun ride. It was so very well done. The acting was so unique, the old man (getting younger) and his wife (who was also in Misery) were so perfect they could never have been better. The Terry chick was so cool, the way she'd pull her gun out to get what she wanted. The general, and the Andrews guy were both great characters, and all the supporting people were fantastic! So, you may ask, why not five stars? Why have I lowered it from great to really good? Well, the ending. Everyone who's seen the movie remembers the ending. It's horrible! I've read about how different this is on TV, and the ending on the video and DVD is horribly quick and hazy, so very unsatisfactory that people may develop a knee-jerk reaction and go bash this movie. Don't. Aside from the horrid (and I mean HORRID) ending, the movie is a five star expierience. I was riveted in my seat, unable to leave my television set, it was that good! I got this for Christmas in a Stephen King 5 Pack Collection (The Golden Years, Thinner, The langoliers, The Stand, Cujo), and loved it.
