I see many people here complaining that the message of this episode was blatantly obvious and simple, but I don't really think that is the point of the episode.
In my interpretation, this episode was mainly here to tell a story of a tragic character that does immoral things out of desperation whilst also showing glimpses of humanity in his actions, which in no way justify his actions. Similarly, they try to humanise each and every side of this story. Even the big CEO of the company that arguably does a lot of social evil has his big humanising moment, where he admits that it all spun out of control, and I think we can all relate to that.
There is no evil character. It is all a complex web that creates evil, and the point, as I see it, was not to bash into the heads of people to not text and drive, or to stop using social media, but simply to tell a story. A story that utilises the all-consuming technology in our society, and I think it does that job fantastically. It is suspenseful, layered, and incredibly moving.
Talk about shit getting out of hand.
Loved the idea, the concept and a lot of the allegories and analogies. I guess the child was put there so she could starve and die - the immigrant one at the lowest level by the system. The mother did a lot to try and make the food last to the ground level, she did a lot of nasty things for her child. Maybe I'm reaching here, but I think when the child goes up, she broke the system... Against all odds she made it to the top, a flaw in the matrix that happens almost never in this much beloved capitalism of ours (irony here)
Had I known a little of the backstory I might be invested in the episode, but this was pointless
What can I say about Titanic. It is is the ultimate love story, the basis for all romance. It is beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time. The saddest part is thinking about all those people in real life who lost their lives that day.
First of all, its a pretty cool feeling knowing that you helped produce this film on indiegogo (or kickstarter, whichever one it was). I was impressed by how well made it was. It felt like a big budget movie.
Second, the story was great. A few things happened that I didn't expect to.
The only thing that I didn't like was the ending... It needed 5 more minutes to explain what the hell just happened. Connor said he's going to make things right. But nothing happened. He visits his mom's grave. Then what? He's back where he started, minus having a mom?
Did Garrett essentially replace Marcus with that deal?
Did Park not end up having powers? I definitely thought he was going to have powers.
So Nia got to visit her dad in prison. That's not really a happy ending for her, is it?
Maybe I missed something while I was watching...
Let this episode be an example to every single tv show writer on how to handle LGBTQ+ characters. Like this, and no other way. Thank you.
that burning scene were the mutated body of that girl in red coat, man that pearced my heart. everything was horrifying, but that scene...
Forget about Netflix, Starz, HBO and whatever other producing companies out there. The BBC is where the good content is at.
The production value on this is through the roof.
The casting and acting were great (they even went as far as getting actors with a whole bunch of different nationalities so they'd be true to the character the were portraying). The writing was extremely compelling. I was hooked from episode one.
The war aspect is starkly portrayed in all its horror, but the most compelling part, imo, was the human element, primarily presented thorough Harry who starts out being sort of naive, only to have a very rude awakening. But the fact the he doesn't lose his honorable, charitable, idealistic qualities even in the face of horror and heartbreak, was one of my favorite parts.
The special effects and sets were also amazing and so very realistic.
A definite 10/10. More people need to be watching this for sure!
It speaks the truth and we really need to act on It now and everyone can make a difference.
This Movie just great entertainment. Seen it in theatres in 2004 and loved it since!
A disappointment to the franchise in my eyes. I still want to see the new one, but the first 3 are way above this one. Think the lack of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley effects it majorly.
Nice story about not so mighty gods and superhero fisherman :)
stupid plot, especially going for "what else can we do". I started laughing when that freighter appeared on the crest of the wave.
And let's not mention the lack in morals in a first-responder who absconds with a helicopter that could be used to save a lot more people than just the wife and daughter... the same goes for the boat, by the way.
Better than 2. Not as good as 1. The ending still leaves lots of questions unanswered. Need another film to clear it all up for the viewer, for once and all.
