it was ok, not as if tv has been reinvented, but it was good to watch and may
make a good series, lots of x-files in it, but also bones and other stuff, as
long as the mix is good it might work well!
the look is great in places i love the way ext captions of locations are woven
in in 3d and mobile, you could even see a q from the bottom once - reat joke (i
am not saying more as the location may be regarded as spoiler...)
i'll watch out for it in the fall...
i do not get the german either, that was a cheap shot, really, aren't there any
german stand-ins? there was no main actor involved, so wtf?
i have no problem with jj abrams, let's see where he takes this one...
tried to cram too much fast paced story into a 2 hour pilot that you end up
losing any connection to the characters.
the dumping of the main story arc plotline in the pilot episode seems to me a
mistake and may hurt the series.
a few redundant parts in the story used to set up some surprise ending
elements seem way to forced and could easily be skipped over by altering
certain story elements, which would yield the same ending result - except
leave more mystery for the audience and would allow time to connect us to the
characters.
this is definately not lost calibur, and i would be surprised if this lasts a
full season. the production value is there...the writing, actor chemistry and
story certainly aren't.
2/5 stars. watchable but disappointing after such a strong first 10 minutes.
i quite enjoyed that (despite finding the lead actress to be a little bland) and
am looking forward to more, thank you uploader!
dunno that the first few minutes contain some of the most "terrifying images you
will ever see in your life" though, that poster has obviously never seen
anything from the horror section rated above a pg-13 (or extreme makeover).
i've just ate breakfast while seeing it. it's not really that much terrifying.
also the german speaking guys just crack me up "sprechen sie mit mich" lol
24 i can swallow - and that's pretty silly at times - but this just takes the
absolute piss!
and it's not just the concept; it's all a bit sci-fi but that's okay by me.
it's more about the choreography of some of the action scenes that really ask a
lot of our imaginations; she's not superwoman is she?? though she is super hot
and she certainly super overacts...
still, in the absence of virtually anything else to watch at the moment, i was
still pretty grateful, so thanks.
i was not going to watch this after the trailer which made it look crap. but its
a slow tv week with nothing else on so i gave it a try. and it was much better
than i expected.
some people have been saying that it is too much of a stretch, but i think that
it is possible that this could happen if the research was being conducted for
lots of years. i dont think its meant to be 100% believable anyway, just a
possibility.
i will give it a look in when the next episode airs.
and see if it is as good as the pilot. 7/10 for me.
