The fact that Gabriel uses his blind eye to aim tells you a lot about this shows production quality
This is the first movie from Alex Garland that I watched in IMAX. I enjoyed Ex Machina and Annihilation, so I was expecting some good and out of the mainstream trend.
But OMG, amazing cinematography and one of the best, if not the best, sound mixing for gunfight scenes.
Alex Gaarland is joining Nolan, as directors whose movies I always watch in IMAX.
On a side note, this is one of the few movies that I remember where the character development supersedes the plot.
I'm a long-time fan of the book series and always wondered how it would look like if they made them into a movie or series since the books focus a lot on the struggle and emotions of Juliette, especially considering that moving through the silo requires climbing lots of stairs.
They did a good job in this adaptation though, maybe because Hugh Howey, the author, is one of the executive producers.
I saw the other comments saying it's slow. Well, that's the main point of the world really. The whole idea is that due to how the silo is constructed, and because radio messages are forbidden, everything is slow. News, commerce, everything is handicapped by the stairs and the need to manually carry everything up and down.
Also, it seems they might actually pack all five books of this arc in this first season. So that gives you some perspective of the pace...
A fun mix of spec ops war tactics, scifi, and bureaucracy
