Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Sameeha Pugh It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
GamerMaxx Last Resort is a little slow to start but given time it just gets better and better the more of it you watch, its a shame that is only went for one season, it should have been given more but i am not surprised as most decide if a series by the end of the first episode.the entire concept of the show caught my attention, the idea was great and executed, but the story was told to quickly, it needed more time to go through everything correctly so it would make more sense. They used good actors to play the main characters which worked out good. really if you haven't watched it then your missing out on an amazing show.Worth watching, just give it a go you will enjoy it.
gas_paol Having seen the trailer, I already knew I shouldn't have expected a realistic military or geopolitical TV series. But the idea seemed OK and could have led to an entertaining plot. Instead there are so many gaps in the plot and unexplainable characters' behaviors that this show becomes unwatchable. Just one example: the sub captain start the first episodes as an honorable man, with great common sense. In fact, sensing something is going wrong, he refuse to annihilate most of Pakistan's population. 20 minutes later though, he's a self proclaimed dictator capable of detonate a nuclear warhead 200 miles from Washington DC (spreading radiations generously BTW). And just in the first episodes there are more of these things. Just too much...
anthonyparra Have the writers of this series ever been on a Submarine? I had high hopes and was looking forward to the first episode but was hugely disappointed.O.k First beef, The opening scene is the Submarine retrieving a team of Navy Seals. The submarine in the story is a ballistic missile sub a Ohio class SSBN. The whole point of a SSBN is to go to deep water and hide so an enemy doesn't know where you are. To risk a strategic nuclear asset when other classes of Submarines are well suited for it is just ridiculous. Just add insult to injury they are attacked by another US Sub which must have been nearby and much more suited to retrieving a Seal Team.Second - US Warships are "Dry" so no alcohol. Even if it was allowed a Captain in charge of nuclear missiles would never give the exec a drink of scotch when at any minute the order may come to launch.What the hell is a "NATO" communication site doing in the middle of the Indian Ocean? And even if did exist left unguarded! Sending B1 Bombers to bomb a nuclear submarine? That's equally ridiculous. One they are totally unsuitable for sub hunting and a SSBN could easily avoid then by simply diving. No way for a B1 to track a submarine and they could just slip away. Even a dedicated anti submarine aircraft have trouble finding a SSBN if it doesn't want to be found.The characters themselves seem to have written to a formula of Gruff older navy types surrounded by "Beautiful" male and female young officers (You can see the writers already are going for the sexual tension between the young officers)One the opening scenes for one of the female characters was in her in her underwear that must have purely been put in to excite teenage boys.The series is utter tripe of the worst type and if you want to watch a series or movie about potential nuclear war or submarines go rent Crimson Tide or as bad as it was "The hunt for Red October".I understand this series was canceled as it bombed in the ratings. I just wished it had bombed earlier.
blzbub666 I watched the first episode of this with open eyes. I generally keep my hope bottled up when it comes to these over-hyped American shows, and this show is a fine example of why. It is just a typical melodramatic poorly written attempt at a genre that they never seem to get right. The acting was mediocre, the characters were cut outs of generic characters played by actors who seemed to know how shallow the characters are. The ridiculous plot made me laugh out loud in some points, about halfway through it turned into such complete rubbish that I had to continue watching to see how much worse it could get. In summary, this programme is an insult to your intelligence and you should avoid it unless you want to know what not to do when making a TV series.
