Micransix Crappy film

Manthast Absolutely amazing

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Abbye-Sei The story is probably good with some not so new idea. I get that over population is one of the main problems of the world. The whole cast of acting is so bad they can all collect an Oscar award for the most bad actors and actresses. Leading the way is the guy who play the Adam character, his voice is hoarse and unconvincing, it is a pain to watch him on screen, and the actors that play "Wiley", "chuck" , "Gord" characters, I don't know if it is the characters that is so badly written or is it just the actors portraying them failed big time. The acting is just so painful to watch to the point that I am glad Gord is killed off and I am hoping Chuck wont be getting up from his fell ... BTW, they all look way way older than 22, c'mon, that girl Wiley look like she is hitting 30 and Gord, 22? Give me a break.

preiszner-55623 I belong to the older generation and this show is for teenagers for sure. As the IMDb summary says, everybody older than 22 years old die. The remaining under-22 crowd mill around aimlessly and showing minimal interest in the catastrophe and mostly keep doing their teenager things with focus on teenager priorities. It feels even as if a teenager wrote the script, naive and simplistic. If there was any heroism after the 3rd episode, I could not hang on longer. 3 out of 10 only because of the few interesting characters, but they looked more like 30 somethings.

moorek Any series that has everyone under 22 is designed to be for that audience. This one does that so expect lots of stereotypes and teen angst. Having said that I found it fairly interesting much of the time and fastforwarded through some parts that were clearly cringe- worthy. Last minute thought and in retrospect very relevant - each episode starts with how many days since the outbreak. I think the last episode says something like 22 days since the outbreak. So much happens to the town, to the streets and stores in what is essentially a 3 week period. A 3 week period in which the kids remaining are anticipating a lifting of the quarantine at some point. That makes what happens a little hard to take.People complain about the poor acting and some of it but most is acceptable. I agree with one review that this group of kids, regardless of their age, don't seem to show much emotion about the fact their parents died. Also there is really no attempt at organizing - there aren't that many leaders so it would be easy to set up some type of control - just not self-imposed by one group. And did anyone take that group seriously? When we saw them with rifles - it was clear they were out of their element. And the group they were going after, the country guys, were much more used to weapons and looked like they could use them.There were some unexplained plot lines that were glaring such as: *why was there no air supply drop of supplies by the gov't *why was there no attempt to provide basic leadership, civic or medical services by internet. If these kids were to believe that the world was out to help them then you'd want them to be supported while you waited for the quarantine to end *when the soldiers have left the fence and then left a mine field - why not open the fence more and drive old vehicles onto the mine field. As they exploded they'd clear a path for them to escape. Now they might have been stopped but if you are wanting out of this fenced area - this seems an easy way to do that. *Why did no one go to check the prison? This is a 10 sq. mile area fenced off. You'd think it would be a natural to go check out the prison for both weapons and what is likely a good supply of food.I know it might seem useless to look for logic in a series like this but you try. It is interesting that they are willing to kill off some of the major characters and kill off kids such as in the two car accidents and then in the last episode. So they are willing to add an edge to the storyline.

Slabreche-266-372355 I really enjoyed this show and I wish they would do a 3rd season! I felt like I was watching a soap opera except the characters actually do things other than sleep with their best friend's lover!Actually, sex/love scenes are almost non-existent in this show unlike many other shows that try to maintain viewer's interest by including those types of scenes.I really got attached to the actor's characters and after watching the entire series I actually started watching it again from the beginning to be reminded of who was who again. The idea of a virus that kills and has no cure yet (not sure if this a spoiler or not that is why I tick marked the spoiler box), this idea is really not that far fetched and neither is the idea that the government would rather kill only a few hundreds in order reduce the risk of spreading the virus it makes total sense. The fact that some people become selfish whereas others would rather share equally when food is rationed is also very realistic. It shows the true nature of people.Unlike some other movies/shows (which I did enjoy), the virus does not turn you into a mutant/monster, rather it kills certain people (more realistic that is why I compare it to a soap opera) I really like the realistic aspect of the show.What kept me watching is the fact that you never know what is going to happen to the characters, some make it to the end some don't, will a well proved cure be developed, if so what will happen to the people if and when they get to leave? How do they create a new life for themselves after leaving and living in a new place? What happens to their health and immune system? Do they become immune to all diseases? There is s much potential for a 3rd season!
