Get it, but not for the extras November 29, 2008
24 Redemption is a great 'movie', it's 24 at it's best. I definitely recommend it, but not for the extras. The 'extended version' is a few extra seconds here and there, and other than that it's just an extra 6-8 minutes of credits. Not much of the other stuff on the dvd is really worth watching, except the main feature, of course. And don't fall for the "2 hour event" promo. It's 87 minutes.
But anyway, any 24 fan should have it.

Money maker for Fox November 27, 2008

24: Redemption This is the sorriest 24 movie to date. It was advertized as 2 hours, it was 86 minutes. It had a broadcast version and an extended version. The only difference was the extended version had an introductory segment of season 7. The actual movie on both versions was identical. This was a huge Fox ripoff and is the last Fox movie I will ever buy. If you're smart, you would bypass this one!

why but this now?? November 26, 2008

I watched this when it was live on TV, and when I saw the commercial that this was being released on DVD, the only thought I had was: Why buy this now when it will more than likely be included in the Season Seven boxset when it is released?? If it isn't I can buy it then and without having to worry about paying for the same thing twice.

rent seasons 1-4. they are the best but after that it all went down hill. it is also to note in this redemption jack once again fights a helichopter. WTF> its liike the billionth one to come accross his path. the acton sets with jack were well done but like most years too sparce and in between, and all those new characters seem remnisent of the circus that was season five.

Redemption: A Remarkable Bridge November 26, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Let's be honest, shall we? A majority of us were holding our breath, remembering the note 24 left off on, remembering the strike and how long it's been since the last time Jack embarked on a mission to protect the better half. 24: Redemption was promoted as a movie that would connect Seasons 6 and 7 and lead us into a new era of the show. For me, it turned out to be a lot more than that.

Let's put aside the fact that the cause Jack was fighting for is an actual problem in today's world. This prequel hit home for me; many of us have been victimized by that empty feeling like we're unappreciated, that we have no one and that our life's purpose hasn't been fulfilled. You're immediately led to believe that this is what's led Jack Bauer to Sangala, that he's emotionally broken and wandering from place to place searching for himself. Just prior to his next move, he gets caught up in an aggressive pursuit for the formation of a slave army.

While the vintage 24 action is, at best, scarce, you still get your dose. Jack takes on General Benjamin Juma and his army in order to protect a school of children, including those of an old friend. What do we find out? You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Jack Bauer may be searching for peace, but he's still a trained killer and a man who fights for the greater good.

For me, the first sign that this wouldn't be a disappointment was when you found out it was still done in real time. Led to believe it was structured like a movie, I wondered how differently 24 would play out without the clock. However, I was pleased to discover that this two hour event had all the bells and whistles that's made 24 great over the years, and hopefully even more epic in 2009. This was a fantastic prequel. What amazed me most about it was that aside from President Daniels and Tom Lennox, who we only met in Season 6, there were no old 24 characters. I'm looking forward to the return of Tony, Chloe O'Brien, the mother, and Kim Bauer among others. It should be a great year for the best show on TV.
