I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Best movie of this year hands down!

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Blistering performances.

Amibance, story and idea is great but what an horrible script full of non-sense....

This is a series of mostly pointless actions of the protagonists, striving for a goal but not really focusing on it. While they try to get there, they stupidly and constantly get themselves into trouble without reason and then have to fix it. Mostly they manage, often enough they don't. Seriously, when something goes wrong it is usually not the bad guys being smart, but the good guys being incredibly stupid. It's their own fault. It just hurts. Encounters with the antagonists are often sadistic scenes. The characters are rather one dimensional and super shallow, both antagonists and protagonists. Relationships between the characters are pretty stereotypical. The only interesting aspect of the show is finding out what happened, but it is coming in very slow bites.

Revolution's premise had an initial appeal to this reviewer. Electricity, modern living, was done and gone. The excitement of seeing all of the possibilities of steam technology, blacksmiths, agricultural developments, and "tribal" contact was barely addressed, and poorly covered, in the first few episodes. Each episode proved more disappointing than the prior. The characters in the series were not believable in their wardrobes while their heroism, or sadism, was phoned in. The actors were flat-out, horribly, bad at acting. The narrative, the story-arc, was downright terrible and not believable and wouldn't matter if it was. This reviewer watched several episodes before proclaiming that he was finished and was waiting for the day that it would be cancelled. This reviewer loves science fiction, doesn't require a need to see "real" science in a television series. The bad acting, the bad story telling, and poorly managed sets made the quality of the fictional "science" a moot point. Fewer viewers would have cared about the technical failures if the characters had mattered and the viewer were invested in their success or failures. The depth of the show was never any deeper than a thimble's worth, hence why it was cancelled.

Was quite enjoying this, if you suspend your belief about lots of things in it that plainly would not happen 'in real life' it's quite entertaining, however, last night watched the one where they were in a subway tunnel and the roof caved in, within minutes they were having hallucinations because 'the air was running out' yet the area they were in must had had enough air for the 6 of them for about a year even if they were breathing in as deeply as possible, running around, setting things on fire etc. Absolute nonsense, I don't know who thought that one up or for a moment believed no one would notice, shockingly bad scripting.
