Extremely dumb movie where I was rooting for the people to be killed off
Angela Bassett is the perfect narrator for a show focusing on the power of the female in this animal series
Despite the huge amount of disappointment from so many on this show, I loved it. I loved that this alien invasion drama was not America-centric for one, that is a big step forward for me in telling a "global" crisis-level story, and I found it starkly contrasting that the largest representation of American influence was from the war-minded General who said the only response is nuclear and boom there we have it. Seemingly turned the tide but probably opened the door for what is the greater threat to come which is, who sent these aliens. A global crisis should involve a global cast, and for such a massive story, they did spend an incredible amount of time in developing the human drama and for me, from that angle, they involved our imagination when actually confronting aliens first-hand. I found this show, slow at times, no doubt, but ultimately enjoyable. It's a different approach to an invasion story which was not wrapped in a nice neat bow at the end.
Huge fan of the original show and was honestly pleasantly surprised to learn CW was remaking a classic show with a majority of minority cast. That said, I could barely make it through the first episode before already realizing this was not going to be anywhere close to the level of tension and drama of the original. Such a waste of an opportunity, even with it being 2021 and how they want to be more relevant. The diversity of the cast is rendered useless by the very low level writing and story telling. Disappointing.
Just finished watching the pilot episode. Basically it's The 4400 intermixed with Odyssey 5 (which both shows I enjoyed) with a bit of a spin. Felt the ending was a bit predictable but I still liked it, although I am easily entertained lol. Interested to see where it goes so, hopefully ABC does a good job weaving the mystery along with the shenanigans of the first group of mystery travelers.
A blast from the past! As ridiculous as the story seemed at the time, in today's world it's not so laughable yet so many people love to joke about people as points never knowing the incredibly funny origin. Great fun movie, so glad I have this ability of keeping tabs on it now.
