Strong and Moving!
Really Surprised!
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
View MoreI liked the story and I recommend watching the series. Write a script for the story Arbitrator and Strange You can enter the world of serial heroes
View MoreThe first two episodes are OK, but it turns into a CSI Case of The Week very fast and very boring. The main plot is forgotten in some point, and the protagonist god-like powers that solves everything are just unbearable. I need to say that i love Scy-fy channel and i was decided to watch all first season of Continuum but i had to stop on tenth episode.Way too much tricky science, way too perfect actors, obvious solutions, not very interesting characters and CSI like episodes, mix all together and you have Continuum. I don't even like the name. If you want a series to watch without having to use your brain, just go for it.
View MoreI'm only writing this review because I want the execs and writers to hear the voice of a Sci-Fi fan. This show sucks. It's another drama/cop show with boring plots. All the stories I've watched so far play out just like every cop drama and I HATE cop dramas, I don't hate cops, just the way they are portrayed on Television, and that includes detectives in CSI and all that other baloney. They never get to the heart of how complicated most cases and people are. And this show suffers from that as well. It's an hour long episode of people bickering, little lies, confrontations that rarely ever end in any form of real resolution.As far as the plot holes, here's one, it's supposed to be sci-fi but there isn't any. Having a few gadgets does not make it sci-fi.And there are so many of these shows, Defiance, The 100, Falling skies, Revolution, and more I'm sure. They all build there stories upon conflicts that are rooted in the characters having poor logic skills or poor lines of communication. Then there's the constant gun play, so many shoot outs, with so little resolution.You know what made Star Trek so great? They found ways to tell stories that didn't revolve around people arguing. Sure, some of the episodes were more boring than others, but not as boring as watching fake gun battles.Please, if you're reading this and you're a writer or a T.V. exec, just know that this kind of schlock has go to stop.
View MoreI could only manage about 13 minutes before I had to turn it off. Don't get me wrong, I am a massive time-travel genre fan, but the script writing for this episode was so bad that I could not stand to watch these poor actors and actresses endure another corny, predictable line. Lead actress was not someone I would have cast for this role. The opening scene was good. Then we find ourselves in the lead's apartment with friends who act like they're from some elitist art club, and since when can single-mothers on a cop salary afford a penthouse overlooking the city skyline? The conversation was awkward, and the scene with her kid, excruciating. The deal-breaker was the scene where said lead rushes in to stop the condemned from traveling back in time... It made no sense, and the scene and act was handled sloppily. A bit of history I do not care to travel back to.
