What a total disappointment. It's obvious that this movie was produced for one reason and one reason only: to steal money from the audience that was addicted to the TV series. However, this fraudulent scam is NOT what anyone was -- or should have been -- looking for. I gave the original TV series an 8.5 rating. I'd rate this less than half of that. Why? Because yet again...we're insulted with another in the long list of "back from the dead" characters. And after 4 years of seeing every relevant aspect of The Centre's inner workings, we're now supposed to believe that there were THREE pretenders who escaped at the same time? I don't think so. And given the utter stupidity of the actions of the main characters, at this point I really don't care what happens to any of them. They're ALL pretenders, and I'm tired of their silly little game(s).
