Not a super remarkable show or story line but every episode leaves you with just enough of an urge to find out more. Slowly unraveling the mystery and history of Cora leading up to that day on the water.
After I watched the first 2 episodes I figured it would be best to save up the remain episodes and watch them in one go. I'm glad I did.
Gotta love those 80s special effects :) Stop motion, miniatures, grainy picture and that typical flat 80s audio. Soundtrack seems a bit inspired by TRON, which is also great. A good film.
Went in 'blind' and didn't regret it one moment. Build up and suspense kept me wanting more the very second the episode was over. Overall it is a beautifully crafted series that takes you on a journey with Kyle and everything that seems to be going wrong around him.
I can't wait for season 2!
Haha! Season 1 plot twist all over again.
You did it again, Mr Esmail, my hat to you sir.
A strong and worthy ending to a great saga. I particularity enjoyed the sound track of this motion picture, which added a lot of depth and emotion to a lot of scene's. Also the use of silence (as in: lack of background music) managed to add duress quite well. I haven't seen such thing in a blockbuster for some time.
Overall a nice movie adaptation that managed to reduce the impact of some major plot lines that where neglected in some of the previous adaptions to a minimum. But as always it could not take the time needed to unfold the plot as strong as Rowling did in the novel.
At first playthrough I went pretty deep in the choices but got an unsatisfying ending to my taste. dead-end > toggle for other choice in splitscreen > automatic kill and bury dad > call psych > jail
Went back changed some choices and got a better ending but boy, was it sad...found bunny > choose to die with mum
After that I stumbled upon a very complete flowchart someone had made and I was amazed by the complexity of choice and consequences for a video format. Used it to see the "Netflix action scene" ending and that was as amazing as it was meta
All in all some good fun, but don't expect too much story and character development else you could be in trouble.
That was.. different. But I liked the fact that it was an out-of-the-box thinking episode, storytelling-wise, even though it feels more like an infomercial at some points.
I expected more.
Though the pace of the movie was OK and it was filled with over the top action, gun fire and explosions, I honestly thought 2 or 3 times "Fade to black -- the end" to discover I was about 1/3 further in.
All in all I watched it 'till the end, but I'm glad it wasn't shown in theaters here. It would've been a waste of my money, especially since it would've been a 3D only release.
Poor adaptation of a brilliant TV show. :(
Found it to be a rather slow movie. A bit too predicable for my taste. Especially with a premise like this, you have a platitude of directions to go in, but unfortunately the potential is left untapped.
The lack of experience is painful to watch on some of the scenes. It could be the new way of editing, or just me, but I just don't get the same seriousness / sound science and preparation vibe from this duo.
Will give it a shot to see if it improves, but only because I love the format of this show.
Damn. They sure keep raising overall season / episode quality. Never was so furious at the 'stay tuned' cliffhanger :(
First off; I didn't see any trailers of teasers, on purpose, did not look up any reviews or score cards when it hit the theater, just because it's so easy to create a hype around something these days and therefore you'll end up disappointed by default.
I just went to see a Gojira movie and enjoyed the ride. They chose the keep it closer to the the original story and completely ignore the 1998 remake, like they should. If there is a follow-up, I will go see it, and I'm sure I would enjoy that one also.
What MajorMercyFlush said. Really. One sentence synopsis you ask?
"It's a people story, rather than a superhero story and I liked that"
Loved every second of it :)
Different, but not in a bad way.
All in all a good show.
It had a dip around the middle of the season where both the global story and the intensity of the episodes became 'meh'. Toward the end of the season it picks up speed again.
It's a pity they lost a lot of viewers because of an idiotic broadcasting scheme though. If you broadcast a serialized drama you can't take a break of several months, followed by an episode once every few weeks and expect viewers to pick up where they left of and more stay interested.
And I guess the 'complex' storyline of the first few episodes can scare of some viewers as well.
A graphical masterpiece. A bit like ratatouille: Not the best movie I've seen, but a it includes decent story; It can make you laugh a couple of times and overwhelms/amazes with a lot of incredible details.
I watched it the way it should be watched: Alone, in the dead of night with the surround sound cranked up pretty good and complete darkness surrounding me.
This movie can be split up in a 2 or 3 parts and it starts off very strong. The only problem with that is, because the first part of the movie was that good, the second part just can't live up to the standards set by the beginning.
To put it simple: Overall I really liked it, although the beginning was stronger than the end.
Weirdest film seen untill now :P Loved Lily Cole, quite beautiful also. Nice to see the last performance of Heath Ledger.
Better than expected :)
