BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
Macerat It's Difficult NOT To Enjoy This Movie
learyd-305-879536 If you love the typical Hollywood liberal agenda then this is a sci-fi series for you. Includes all the typical non-sense. America is bad, the president are corrupt despots who want to destroy the world.If you would like something new and refreshing and thinking outside the box, then pass on it.Stephen Hawking may be a brilliant scientist and that may be because he doesn't watch any TV. If he did he would know that this type of material has done before a thousand times and there is nothing about it that is masterful. This serious could of had great potential if the America bashing was left out of it. Shame on you Dr.
limona_razvan Except maybe The Discarded, this show has little imagination. It's always difficult to imagine the world of human mind or how we are going to evolve. Simply put, they tried to hard to be in the other corner, away from the space opera like Star Wars or Star Trek. In the end they show almost no sensibility to real demographic problems, over population and human instincts. The conflict of cultures and prejudice is an old and overused theme. We see now that big powers play the same game they played 300 or 1000 years ago. Maybe this lines were good enough in the '60s, but now education brought people not close to peace, but close to understand what is going one. The only good thing is the cast, trying to do wonder with a thin script. Science Fiction in TV needs new blood, somewhere in the middle of the road between Star Wars and Stargate. Without the S in the beginning.
Scott_E_Mantooth Mixing political agendas and science fiction is risky. Especially when you underestimate the intelligence of your target audience. The first two episodes (both anti-war...both indicating Americas guilt in both) of this series are not good indications that we can expect things to improve very much if at all. The shows attempt at blurring the lines of current events, political agendas (reguardless of political affiliations),fictional plausibility, and product potential advertising is disappointing. Has it been done before? Sure. Has it ever worked? Yes and no. When it works it can be both funny and creepy at the same time. When it fails, it goes down in flames. The sequence of the episodes may be at fault (there are others to be sure, but lets be fair) back to back episodes dealing with war is a just a little bit obvious. The episodes are longer than they need to be, considering the material given, a bit more character depth would be nice, and less dependence on the special effects when the story slows down. Not everyone has the attention span of a gnat guys, tell a good story and we'll watch, otherwise we'll look elsewhere.
machineit Greetings,The show should have been titled "Masters of Doom and Gloom," or better yet "Master of Liberal Fiction!" It was slow, boring and your typical end of the world at the hands of mankind crap.I can't understand why they insist on making political statements rather than good science fiction. There are thousands of plots out there that they could use, why use a tired worn out one.Bringing in big named talent and using Stephen Hawking does not give credibility to poor writing and tired plots. Please don't waste your time with this one.How about we all grow-up. Or, maybe just the Hollywood liberals! Mike
