Walking Santa Barbara
Being hot for the zombie theme and also the post-apocalypse, she avoided this series for an extended time - I was not astounded by a clip, the actors have become ordinary-looking. Recently, my directory of zombie films begun to thin out and I rubbed my hands, tuned into your drama and non-trivial plot, sat down to look at the first episode. Unfortunately, sheer disappointment with some rabies. Frenzy from high ratings and loud positive read movies reviews. Needless to say, I could keep the opinion of people who write praises to myself, but there's no doubt around the maturity with the thought of these people. Yes, it is clear that this is usually a film. But guys - here is the amount of directing and script below the floor. Has mastered the 1st two episodes of the first season, there is no desire to check further.
From the earliest minutes I want to to wind. I really like atmospheric films, dull landscapes, whipping up a tragic atmosphere ... This isn't here. Neither your camera work, nor the inventory found in the frame and other connected things helped. The scenes are drawn out to the point of exhaustion. A strong negative is the 1st section of the series. The experience they will wanted to cheat me never left me - the concept was taken from the great film'28 days later ', together with the creators'imagination, apparently, quite tight. Next is the chief character. Usually, it seemed that a grown-up man - his wife, children - behaves himself so stupidly, but from his stupid actions and inappropriate behavior the hand itself literally magnetized towards the forehead. Yes, you shouldn't have for being heroic, but to behave rationally, at the least with a small amount of courage and ingenuity, and it might be a lot better (his visit to the city with zombies, over a horse, in the form of a sheriff's deputy is often a separate fail).
With regards to the acting: weak. It looks like a drama, but they don't care. Neither fish nor fowl. The leading character has one emotion - tension.
Action is contained in micro-sizes, a few interesting decisions have taken place - will predictability kills everything in the bud. Not interested.
How are you affected from the series is not clear. It feels like it must be as planned, but it does work in a poor way. Why suddenly zombies, where, when - no less than some information. But no, we have been shown the partnership of individuals, their idle chatter and running around. This seems to be the chief motive of your series. The heroes, having turned off their brains, do just about anything but try to outlive and conform to the changed world. If anyone came here because the zombies, don't waste your time.
P. s. I see that negative testimonials are not particularly favored here - they are simply mercilessly minus. Although people give greater than convincing facts - like endless cartridges, food, gasoline, the hopeless stupidity of heroes, short sleeves ... Seriously, with the knowledge that a zombie bite is 100% fatal, might you walk down the street in a very thin shirt? ... Or with the knowledge that zombies react to your sound, loudly call their friend? ...
You would have it a trifle - but the general perception of the image consists of such trifles.
