    Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
    Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
    Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
    Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
    vysenyurek story is very classic. you can find many similar series in TV. .....................in episode 6. the story about Turkey is completely bullshit and lie. .....................the place is not belong Turkey. Bad Turkish also.it gives wrong information to the people.what is your problem with Turkey?It looks rather cheap, boring characters & cast, and the writing isn't good at all. After only a few minutes you know that sadly it's a waste of time
    lukecardelli Started downhill from first episode but redeemed with Episode 5. Hope it wasn't a fluke. Great show premise but agree with other reviewer about the first episode, a crack organization would send some red shirts into the warehouse with the 3 agents. Believablility has gone up since though. I disagree with the reviewer that Abby's character is boring, it showed the stark contrast between her role as Flynn's piano teacher wife and her real persona as bad-ass alien. Her identity crisis is now the draw of the show. What's happening with Abby and McCarthy is what keeps us tuning in to the show and keeps us engaged. Episode 5 was by far the best episode to date. Syfy is notorious for screwing up a good thing, here's hoping Abby and McCarthy continue to be a mainstay in this series, we want to see what side they choose loyalty to, and how it affects Flynn.
    thom-gillespie I avoided Hunters for the 1st couple of episodes and then tried episode #3 and all I wanted was the back-story: who is Allison, how did she get here, what happened to her parents, who the hell is chasing her and why is she different from the difference, never mind the humans?.So I started in on #2 and then to #1 and I was even more hooked. Hunters has a highly atmospheric, Dark City/Synchronicity look and feel. It is cinematically very dark to carry off the Predator thread. Hunters is well acted, good dialogue and not overly FXd. I mentioned Predator, Aliens and Spock but it also resembles The Americans in its paranoia and the unease I feel while watching it. It definitely plays to the unease with 'the other' going on in US society, particularly with the trans-gendered issues of gender bending but more toward what will eventually happen when we are augmented by nanotechnology to the point of being 'aliens' in our own societies.I think if you like The Aliens on E4 you will enjoy Hunters as well. I'm in.--Thom
    quincytheodore In order to mix mystery and action, the show chooses a more militaristic approach to the usual premise. It doesn't provide much in terms of characters, although there might be slight potential here. For action itself, the camera is unsteady and the dark tone of cinematography doesn't help much. There's not much here that bring hook and creativity beyond the casual draw.Flynn (Nathan Phillips) is an agent with difficult situation, wife missing and awkward step-daughter. The strange relationship with his wife's daughter can be appealing in mildly dysfunctional kind of way, but the acting doesn't create any spark. Flynn himself is the typical agent, while this secret organization lacks any appealing identity.The pilot misses its chance for impressive introduction, something similar to MiB first initiation that really sets the tone. While it may be done to keep the mysticism, a series with organization at the core needs to establish itself well, yet Flynn is merely unceremoniously thrown in. The antagonist creature has a good design to it, the make-up does present something humanoid.Graphic is occasionally too dark, which can be distracting. It tries to bring more authentic military look and the shaky visual might diminish the effort. The narrative doesn't pique much interest either, it might utilize the thriller aspect, yet even this is rather questionable as none of the characters can effectively draw audience to emotionally invest in the series."Hunters" manages to cover the basic sci-fi, but there's little drive to push the series further.
