Alicia I love this movie so much
Micitype Pretty Good
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
rich-andrews The writing and direction of the show is horrible. The lead characters are inconsistent, there are at least 6 scenes in each episode that are just plain wrong. The last 3 episodes are the worst of the bunch. The direction/writing of the last episodes is done so poorly that the characters become silly and laughable. There are more clichés in the series than I can count. The story as presented is too fragmented with far too much personal interaction between the characters. In addition there are far too many morons running around with active roles. The lynch mob scene is an excellent example. The lynch mob scene is overdone to the point that the viewer knows nothing will happen so it becomes boring.This series is filled with excellent examples of what a film writer should NOT do.
Armen Nemra I don't get it. Ever since internet movie websites like Netflix, I've watched 10-20 really good TV Shows that ended abruptly. Am I one of the few who was meant to watch shows like this? I absolutely hate other popular things on TV, but the ones that aren't popular are the ones I love the most. Well, I guess this show was popular but not enough. It's not like the acting sucked. The acting was perfect, and the story line was more than perfect. It had a good balance of mystery and revealing. I guess it cost too much to make Nimrod look real.I'm so hopeless. It's the weirdest feeling ever. I've never felt sad over the death of a person but I think that it feels like this this. The creation of clip is like a complex biological system with so many living organisms in one body making it work perfectly. All that complexity in one creation, living colorfully. It's not hard to feel as sad as a death of a loved one. That clip had a soul. The soul of that clip was married to my soul. But I am hopeless, and all I can do is watch it live and die.
luv_negus I just wish they hadn't left us hanging like that! They could have at least made a 1-2 hour extended show to tie the story up or something! I've had 4 different series that I really enjoyed & got into only to have the series stop & leave us, the loyal viewers, wanting more, wanting at least a good ending. I don't see how the TV producers can just stop a really good show, like this one and so many others, without a decent ending! Oh well, I guess we just need to realize that they don't really care about how we, the audience, feel as long as they make their money. Of course I'll keep watching, hoping that the next show I get into will actually follow through.
screenman Well, here's another contribution for the prematurely lobotomised.With a child star in such a prominent role, you just know it's going to be one of those futile attempts to create something for adults and kids alike. Spielberg just about pulled it off with 'Jurassic Park' and one or two others, but mostly what you get is what you have here; an inadequate compromise reduced to the lowest common denominator of intellectual and emotional maturity. In short; even the adults react and behave as if they were just kids grown big. I'm very much reminded of Tom Hanks' movie of the same name.The characters are largely unbelievable. The situations are predictably implausible. Tension is minimal, surprises and scares few (don't want to upset too many juveniles, do we?). I was recently watching a young couple trapped in a sunken bathyscape. They were, apparently, doomed. Water was leaking in, air was running out, the electronics were playing up, the radio was on the blink, their survival system wasn't working. They're were gonna die. But - hey - they still found time to be delighted by the big sea-monsters just outside their porthole. Like you would. Of course; you knew they were going to escape actually - the young woman was pretty - much too pretty to die a grisly death in front of children. An ugly, fat man - well, that would have been okay. But not a pretty young woman. The old nursery-book stereotypes of gender and appearance must still prevail. Add to that, some third-rate 'Godzilla-esque' CGI imagery, editing so choppy it must have been done in a butcher's shop, a slow, slow denouement that enables the serial to be stretched out into infinity, and you have the perfect formula to please the sponsors.It's that sort of cheap, American hokum: made for kids of all sizes.Science-fiction fans, mature rational adults, and anyone with complete cerebral function should look elsewhere.
