Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
midnighteclipse Spoiler warning: I'll avoid discussing critical plot points, but I do talk about some unimportant plot details and characters that aren't introduced in the season 1 pilot. I also discuss a point on pacing that may be considered a spoiler if you are unfamiliar with the show.I avidly watched this show as it came out on Syfy a few years back, and I was completely enamored. However, I admit that I hold the things I love to a high standard.To start, the concept of the show is what really sells it: common objects associated with incredible people or events have science- meets-magic properties that cause mayhem in the world. Thus, it's up to a secret organization to collect these artifacts and store them away from the world. On top of that, the acting is beautiful and the characters are incredibly lovable. The show walks the line between mind-numbing and mentally stimulating, with a very fine balance.I feel the show has just a few big flaws. The most obvious one is that, around season 3, the studio clearly got a bit greedy for funding and the show starts dropping Prius ads into the scripting, all of which are blatantly obvious and very forced. It's cringe-worthy. By the last season, I kid you not, the Prius became a major plot point when it managed to survive lava. By that point I was ready for it to just end.My other problem is character development. This is the part that makes me wish the show had gone on a bit longer. While I absolutely adore the characters, the show has very quick pacing, and many of their problems are solved with just a few episodes, or ignored completely. Take Claudia, my personal favorite. She spent all of her teen years in psyche facilities, being told she was crazy when she really wasn't. One episode even implies she suffered less than human treatments such as electroshock therapy. In her introduction, she even has an air of insanity about her. Yet once she confirms that she isn't crazy and solves her big problem, all in the same introductory episode, she suddenly becomes a relatively "normal" (or as normal as you get in this show) hacker girl with few if any negative repercussions on her personality. Sorry, but I doubt a girl that's been tormented and told that's she's crazy for like seven of the most critical years of her life is going to come away without some deep scars, just because she found out she was right. Seriously, before she joins the team they even say that she checked -herself- back into a mental facility. Could more of her backstory been developed given more time? I'd like to think so, but at the rate of how things were going, probably not. All of that can be said for a lot of interpersonal character relations, too. Any frustrations, anger, or bitterness between characters is typically resolved within an episode or two, which can be attributed to the quick pace. For the most part, it seems about every season represents approximately a year of time, but only getting snapshots of maybe 13 days in a full year leaves a lot of in between time for characters to get to know each other, which I would love to get to see.Another part of the pacing issue is the season plot arcs. Every season seems to have a subplot with varying permeability in each episode. Most of the seasons seem to end on a cliff hanger or even a climax for the seasonal subplot, yet the first episode of the following season typically resolves the entire problem at once. It's like hiking up a mountain, trying to catch your breath at the top, and finishing by jumping off a sheer cliff on the other side. Brush yourself off, and it's time for another hike.Summary: I love this show, but the pacing is poor and it suffers from funding issues. Despite being super critical of it, I highly recommend the series and often go back to watch it again. It could potentially make for a great book series, given a better writer than whoever was writing the plot arcs.
rlane1444 I've watched the entire Warehouse 13 series. Multiple times. Warehouse 13, along with Eureka, are my all-time favorites. Thanks to the Directors, Writers, Editors, and Actors (along with all the great behind-the-scenes stagehands, and other helpers.). Such a lovely addition to the SciFi genre. Highly recommended! I especially liked the acting of Allison Scagliotti. She's a gifted actor, not to mention, one of the hottest new stars in Hollywood. (See my review of her new show, "Stitchers".) And, the chemistry between Joanne Kelly and Eddie McClintock brings a lot to each episode. Let me not overlook Saul Rubinek. He has brought so much to stage and screen over the years. The interaction between ALL the main characters is entertaining and absolutely "electric".
smoke13 A play on words, as they say. Wh13 was an initial hit. The likeness of which cannot be compared to a masterpiece like eureka in the overall aspect. The show was originally spectacular and gave premise to such amazing prospects. When your boss is communist, however, your future is destined for failure.As the final seasons, second season onward, came to fruition, the show was doomed. That's not even due to the fact that it classified itself as the sister show to eureka. The writing became ghastly and the acting became painful to watch. The show deserves credit though. It had a fantastic outline, it just never fulfilled it's expectations thanks partially to the idiotic side struggles the writers felt necessary to tie in.If you liked the first few episodes, just go watch eureka and you will be much happier. I was overseas when eureka premiered thus I started wh13 from the beginning. I was far happier watching reruns of eureka as opposed to the garbage wh13 constantly had to offer.Spoiler alert...This will save you heartache...Wh13 was canceled just as eureka was due to it's premise. Myka and Pete kiss and Claudia becomes caretaker of the warehouse. In essence, thats all we get after five seasons. Boring if you ask me.
martoni64 I heard a lot of good stuff about this show when looking for something to replace my, now ended, favourite Sci-Fi shows. So had high hopes when finding it on Netflix. Opening episode started off fairly well half way through. Then all the flaws came crashing down on it. * Abysmal acting * Even Less likely plot logic * Low budget effects * "Jokes" my son would have found embarrassing 15 years ago (he's 17)Apparently it's all about some government organisation collecting arcane magic objects from all over the US. Like a brain dead love child of Supernatural and Fringe.I could stomach 4 episodes of the rubbish in the vain hope of it actually gaining some intelligence and proper acting. It was a hopeless quest. I gave some stars, because I've (imgine that...) seen worse.
