Bionic Ever After is the third, and last to date, reunion TV movie of the Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. This movie is by far the best of the three and in fact is possibly one of the best bionic episodes of the original series.
The Six Million-Dollar Man was a science Fiction series from the 1970s. It had been based on a book called Cyborg by Martin Caidin. The story concerned Steve Austin who after a terrible crash while testing a new aircraft is rebuilt with bionic technology. He had to come to terms with an artificial arm; eye and both legs that gave him super human abilities that he then used to fight crime. The Bionic Woman was a spin off series that gave bionics to Steve Austin's old flame Jamie. The romance between them was one feature in the many episodes of both series. Both series ended in 1978. A reunion TV movie was made ten years later and a further reunion movie was made in 1989. That movie was called Bionic Showdown but wasn't so good.
This film is excellent in every way. The pace of the film is just right. The script is strong and the production and direction are all very good. Both Lindsay Wagner and Lee Majors are very good and get much better starring roles in this film. It actually feels like they are the stars. (Unlike in Bionic Showdown,) The story is good too and it gradually builds to a good conclusion. I will not give away much of the plot or the ending but I can say that Steve and Jamie come out of retirement for one final mission as they fight not only the bad guys but possible lethal Bionic illness. And at the same time they are about to marry. Will they get the bad guys? And do they get married? All I will say is that the ending is excellent and serves as a grand finale to all of the original bionic series.
This is a great release and is highly recommended to anyone who liked the original series.
