ThiefHott Too much of everything

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

skip-98756 This is a 2018 review of an older show..ive seen the entire series when it premiered and decided to rewatch it now..I know there was a scandal regarding one of the actors,but that doesnt detract from the quality of the series,in fact ,he was excellent in it.This is a very well written, intricate,layed story,that has an intriqueing premise,,what would happen if all our power was gone? the things we take for granted, and how would We change in regards to our humanity? the good and the terrible that comes forth..i love the actors in this! giancarlo absolutely owns his role and inhabits his character as if he has tapped into his own darkest side and channelled it into the role. the lead swordsman and his best friend as adversary are just awesome casting! as is the nerd and the lead teenage girl.as i started to rewatch, i was instantly drawn into it once more..this series was on when other incredible series were around as well such as Flashforward,The Event,ect..these were Highly creative ,unique shows as is this one..all highly recommended!

joup-33558 Amibance, story and idea is great but what an horrible script full of non-sense....

Joseph Marquis 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.

melcher-2001 This show has the formulaic mark of a J.J. Abrams piece, with lots of flashbacks (think: "Lost") revealing the back stories of every character, showing us why they've become the cold blooded killer appears to be the only key to survival in the world that's portrayed. It has an enormous cast list, mainly because most of the cast are essentially canon fodder to be eliminated shortly along the way. This is possibly the most kill-crazy show on television. At least in the "Walking Dead" most of the people being killed are already dead. Billy Burke's lead character is mostly being dragged along for a ride that he finds extremely unpleasant. Tracy Spiridakos' 'Charlie' portrays someone who turns into one of the most unpleasant creatures around (she kills with a smile). Giancarlo Esposito gets to briefly exhibit a wide range of expressive talent, but finally becomes so 'bad' that he comes off as a caricature of himself. Zak Orth as the bumbling computer geek Aaron Pittman is the single interesting character who exhibits any real warmth as he gets to reveal parts of the subplot (also a familiar J.J. Abrams trope) involving mysterious nanites. David Lyons adds a bit of life to the ensemble as someone who actually exhibits feelings while Elizabeth Mitchell plays Rachel Matheson as kind of a weirdly detached sociopath. Like the show "Lost" I wasn't able to make it past the middle of the second season, when I realized that I really didn't like or care about a any of these people. The only characters even mildly interesting were effectively buried among the heaps of accumulating corpses. And I certainly wasn't about to sit through watching more of their pasts revealed, until I sometimes think I'm watching a show in reverse. A waste of good talent and some pretty good production values on a show that has an interesting premise and does very little with it.
