Best movie ever!
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
Oh god if you watch this just make sure you catch the opening. The show can't seem to make up its mind on what to make of it. Anywho all In all its dated but if you've netflixed everything else of interest already. Give it a go.
View MoreI thought the show was awful when I watched the pilot, but because of the rave reviews, I kept going. It gets worse.The writing is horrendously unrealistic. People act so casual about what would truly be the most bizarre and insane incident in all of history. It defies science and explanation, and yet they react to it in such a minor way. Not to mention people are seeing their returned loved ones for the first time in x number of years and they act like they haven't seen them in a week. Meanwhile the returnees, who have been dropped into the distant future all of a sudden, they barely think anything of it either. People completely uninvolved with the situation would also be completely freaked out by it, yet it seems no one really thinks much of it. 4400 missing people who haven't aged in decades coming back in a floating ball of alien light- it's all just kinda a big chance for romance right, casual stuff. They didn't consult at scientists or psychologists on this one. Or any real people at all.The acting is very poor. it's the writers' fault for everyone reacting to the most insane event in known history the way they would react to an undercooked steak, but the actors take it to an even worse level. It's like they need facial massages or something because their faces don't change. They don't even change expression much and they deliver their lines in the most plainly one dimensional way. Mahershala is the only decent one here. Then I found out it doesn't have an ending bc it was cancelled. So I quit watching after a few episodes bc if it's this bad, and getting worse, and doesn't even have an ending, I'd rather spend my time doing anything else.God, 2003 must've been a really bad year for tv if this was rated so highly.
View Moreduring the first season i have noticed something about the relationship between shawn his brother and nikki.put me to think that shawn's brother will be out of the picture.well i was wrong.in my opinion was a good turnabout that shawn's brother didn't flew out of the picturealso i want to say it's a good thing you didn't setup the scenario for the relationship between shawn and nikkiin my opinion danny acts well the series are lot better with him playing.he is more "efficient" sounds awkward, he is skilledI think it's a good thing you didn't promote that.keep up the good work!
View MoreI am about 1/2 way through the 3rd season and found the following about this series:Pros: - 4400 subplots available...no shortage of rabbit trails - Premise of the series is clever - The series has take some cool twists and has me wondering where its going - Still trying to figure how the good vs evil rosters will be filled outCons: - DHS agents who expect everyone else to have the morals they don't have (the lead roles specifically) - Dialogue can be really stale and predictable at times - How many times does Tom yell "hey" to a fugitive leading them to run and have a manufactured chase scene happen with Tom tackling them into furniture or tables or something. - The series is starting to feel like an "ability of the week" series.Overall entertaining, but I grimace at some of the plot lines and dialog.
