ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
gavin6942 From the beginning of the world, the evil first woman, Lilith, was expelled from Paradise, becoming an immortal powerful being. A secret society, The Faith, was created to chase and destroy Lilith, who loses her memory after a battle.There is some good thinking behind this film. I really like mixing Biblical (or quasi-biblical) concepts into horror and science fiction. When done right, they are incredible. Look at "Stigmata" or "The Prophecy", just off the top of my head.But the problem here is that such a complicated idea was put into such a small amount of time. A season 9and it would only have to be one) could flesh out the story, explain the characters... as is, it is just sort of disposable.
xredgarnetx This obvious pilot for an unproduced TV series features young Canadian actress Shiri Appleby as an amnesiac with some pretty incredible powers that must be put to use when a man-turned-flying demon is let loose on the world. The CGI is par for a TV job, and Appleby is OK as an amnesiac but hard to swallow as a superheroine. Familiar TV face Richard Burgi is along for the ride as Appleby's mentor, but he can do nothing to elevate this dreck above the mediocre level. We see way too much of the cartoonish flying demon right from the start, a bad sign. Also, the scenes where Burgi is training Appleby for battle are actually laughable. They are a bad copy of similar scenes in several other movies, most notably REMO WILLIAMS.
dee_copeland My husband and I both enjoyed the movie and the premise of it. It was a great depiction of the battle between good and evil with a surprising twist. The characters were both well written and well played. The plot and character development of the Lilith and Shaw to make you care about both of the main characters.Due to the way it was wrapped up at the end it would make a great TV series. Be great if a series could be done with the same main characters, but even if recasting had to be done. I think that fans of the movie would be drawn to watch and support a regular show if it was properly done, and presented in the true spirit of the movie.We would love to see a series based on this movie
rborstein1923 I love good, idea-driven sci-fi. Where there's actually a fresh concept. Not just another alien or killer android story. Darklight has an interesting hook, a she-devil who comes from the garden of eden and needs to reform herself to become a champion for man and woman kind. This movie asks for a little patience. I don't recommend it for people with A.D.D. But I believe the audience's investment is rewarded, as mine was. There's a lot going on. The story is filled with concepts, many we've seen, but they're presented in a refreshing way: a secret religious group, a mystical energy force, genetic experiments, a biblical plague, ancient curses, and more. I appreciate that the movie-makers took a novelistic approach to a TV movie. It's certainly dense. But that's a good thing IMO. I found myself discovering things on my own and not being force-fed a simplistic idea. The nicest part for me was the partnership between Lillith and William, Richard B's character. It was pretty evenly matched. I cared as much for him as I did for her and when he was struck with the plague, I wanted to see him pull through. I like David Hewlett on SGA and always liked John Delancy. Darklight was like a puzzle, when the pieces came together, it was more than the sum of its parts.
