Clevercell Very disappointing...

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Eureka: Hide and Seek" is an 8-part mini series from 2006, so this had its 10th anniversary last year and it consists of one prologue and seven episodes. All of these are really short, rarely they make it past the 20-minute-mark, so you can watch the entire thing in under 20 minutes. The title already gives away that this is a little add-on to the fairly successful television show Eureka and apparently this came out roughly the same time the show started. The positive aspect here is that they got actual actors from the show to appear in here, which is not a given to these mini-series. But sadly, the story is not memorable at all. A monster attacks a bunch of teenagers spying on a chick and the rest of the thing is basically the main characters trying to catch the monster and finding out who or what this creature is. Nothing stands out here story-wise and it was a bit embarrassing how every episode ended basically the same, especially given the 100-second runtime. Overall, this did not get me curious about checking out "Eureka" anytime soon. I give it a thumbs-down.

Steve Rigby An interesting take on a monster terrorizing the woods around the super-science town of Eureka, which manages - in less than twenty minutes in total - to involve Sheriff Carter, his daughter Zoe, Alison Blake, Stark, Deputy Jo, Fargo and the facility's zoologist Taggart. Kinda fun, but relatively undeveloped given its strictly prescribed temporal barriers (how;s that for Eureka science-speak?. Part monster-flic, part science-experiment gone wrong, part unknown-ending, part - as always, and this is what made Eureka so much fun for its five seasons - humorous. It was a real saving grace of the series that they never took themselves too seriously. Also, this short web-based 'series' was fortunately free from the all-too-serious development of romantic relations which often tended to weigh the series down in the soap-opera-ish fascination of whether or not they would or would not end up together.
