I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Powerful
Absolutely the worst movie.
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
5 minutes, shut it off, WOW Beyond horrible! Continuity, thanks we don't need it, oh that missing chair? Don't need it! The bloody coat? Nahh no bodies on the dissection table, no table in a motel room. God I hate seeing people who don't know what to write. This movie was wasted in the first 3 minutes, That covered the action scene and car chase, alien attack that took place rather than the opening credits.
I watched all three episodes that are out so far on Netflix, and I did not notice 3 hours go by. I was on the edge of my side while watching these. The music is captivating, the filming is fantastic and the acting is perfect. Natalia Tena is phenomenal in the role of the artist photographer and she takes us in the darkness of a twisted city through the lens of her camera. Slowly becoming the people whom she photographs, through her obsession she finds something in her photos, more than emotions, she finds -things-. Perhaps the explosion in China made this series more thrilling. All in all, the series has a dark vibe, adult content, and a supernatural phenomenon. The sci-fi twist is perfect for those who enjoy a good thrilling experience. I would highly recommend this show to people who enjoyed playing Thief, Kholat, horror games in general, Heavy Rain... Overall, it had a story telling appeal that could be a very very promising series.
There were a couple of moments when I thought; hey now the story is starting. Brief sparks, then there was stuff that went on. It's like the writer had a paragraph for this film and then bloated the rest out with fluff.The acting was fine, seemed like there was money put into this. Filming , scenes, locations.The one thing missing was an actual connecting point for the audience that would have resembled a story worth watching. I watched in 20 minute increments as nothing was going on in a story sense and I figured at some point it might pick up. After one hour and 26 minutes I jumped forward eight minutes to watch the ending.If this is the "pilot", then obviously alienating the audience isn't a good way to have future viewers.
I've not seen the movie but I did check out the 3 part pilot on Netflix. Seems like the same project? I didn't realize Netflix were backing pilots but I think this is a really exciting step if they are. This show has solid foundations for a pretty great ongoing TV show and feels fresh coming out of the UK. I read the director has a background on Utopia and Misfits which makes more sense of this project's visual style and themes. I also read an article on indiewire 'How To Sell A TV Show to Netflix" http://www.indiewire.com/article/how-to-sell-a-TV-show-to-netflix- 20150401 and was pretty blown away about the journey that this took. It was a movie, and an extended TV pilot at the same time. That's pretty ballsy. I imagine the TV show plays better than the movie - there isn't really one central character you can get on board with in the way that you need to in a movie - but there is certainly a lot here to merit this project and make me want to see more. I think there is a lot of promise here for the future. A great looking, seedy, future-city, and a pretty amazing quarantine zone top my favorite things about this so far.
