Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

turgay-yoo Ever since Lost mindless and usually pointless riddles have become an accepted tool in story telling. Well, it is not a good tool. Particularly if it is used to make up for the fact that your narrative is boring and little. Here the author and director Chris Carter throws in all the proved elements of conventional TV shows in the pot and stirred well. Much helps much wise. It doesn't. It is also very bothersome that nothing is very realistic. Five people trapped in a garage and they cannot open a flimsy gate. Come on!Doors don't open because of power outage. But real life they are battery powered because power outages in fact happen even without supernatural intervention. And on goes the list. It is simply sloppily researched. In 'Halt and Catch Fire' one can see how proper recherché goes. Every detail has been taken the time to get right there. And a story CAN be fantastic and plausible at the same time. So what about the cast. Aldis Hodge, is trying his best to make his character a believable, realistic person. Unfortunately his role - at least in the first episode - seems to be the indoctrinator of political correctness. So the black guy has to be the only one with common sense and reminds us how flawed the legal system is. Well, it is, but what has that got to do with anything in this context. Why bring it up?External reasons I guess. Statements of political correctness generally do not improve a story if you just add them for wholesomeness. If I was black, I'd find it offensive, but what do I know about being black in the US. At least he is in my opinion the most realistic character in the show. That however is not owed to his ethnicity but his acting. Alas there is only so much you can do with such a script. Everybody else is basically free of personality and reduced to stereotypes. The french mommy (Louise Monot I think) is the worst. And too skinny. Why does the director try to bore us to death with yet another parent just trying to get home to her family. This has been done, the t-shirts have been made and yes, they are completely out of fashion for 5 years now.So here is what I predict. The storytelling will be very foreseeable because it is so heavy on the stereotypes. But in this kind of show there have to be surprising twists to keep an audience of lowered expectations from dying from boredom. How do you do that? Easy. By defying the rules of logic and the laws of physics. So it is going to be an even wackier narrative and over time it is going to be harder to believe. A little like in the X-Files only quicker and with a lesser cast. One can tell by the choice of cliffhanger how it is going to be from hereon out. But let's see how the next episode goes. There is no way but up.

Marauder_Of_Mayhem Initially, it started out well (the pilot episode) and it was intriguing enough to keep your attention. However, the script has let it down terribly, that and some of the characters are awful. I didn't care about most of the characters and would have liked if they were killed off right away, the stereotypical roles at play are such nonsense and we have seen it 1000 times before. I won't give away the plot but it hasn't made me want to watch another episode (I might have given it a try but there are no more at the moment), it's just not in the same league as The Walking Dead etc. The current rating 7.7/10 is unbelievable, how anyone can give it above 5 is beyond me.Obviously, I am only judging it on the pilot, but that was enough for me, if you are like me and know when a good series grabs you and you're hooked on it right away, then you will know if this isn't for you.

depaulapimenta I was dumb enough to read 3 positive reviews and jump on the band wagon without scanning further to look into the negative. And oh boy are the negative ones right! I've never written a review before, but since this was probably one of the worst hours ever wasted of my life I felt compelled to waste another 10minutes writing this. In plain English? The writing is atrocious. The whole thing is thrown together without any rhyme or reason. It's like 12 people were having a drinking game "name the post apocalyptic scenario" and someone was sober enough to write them all down. "Things happen" 'cause the creator needed for them to happen to move the story forward - even though the only "move forward" that happens are of characters going from A to B to F as in Falling Flat. Characters say or do random things 'cause you know? Why not! It's entertaining. We need people running around and bickering and crying and disagreeing all the time. We need total chaos and panic. Yes! "More cowbells please". It's the post-apocalypse for crying out loud! I stayed until the end hoping to get a smudge of an explanation but there's no "Rosebud" or "Keyser Soze" here. No. There's just a perfect (sic) Deus Ex Machina that is suppose to shock and hook you but instead just hoodwinks you. Highly recommended for anyone who loved the final episode of the great-until-that-moment show that was "Lost". If you like wasting your time coming up with convoluted excuses for lazy and poor plot/character choices by the creators, well, Mr. Carter made this one just for you.

Avik Bara Watched the pilot and came here straight because i wanted to talk about this show that's how good it is.The show starts with something normal and then things start to happen and believe me when i say the things that happen increase the level of your curiosity. There are moments where you are just dying to see what happens next and then something happens that is totally worth it.I don't see why this won't air, i know for a fact there are a lot of people who like this genre.This show is a my dream show, i cannot wait for it to air. I am confident it will air.
