Walking Santa Barbara
Being a fan of the zombie theme and also the post-apocalypse, she avoided this series for a long time - I wasn't impressed by a clip, the actors are extremely ordinary-looking. Recently, my list of zombie films did start to thin out and I rubbed my hands, tuned to the drama and non-trivial plot, sat down to look at the initial episode. Unfortunately, sheer disappointment with a little rabies. Frenzy from high ratings and loud positive reviews. Not surprisingly, I can keep the opinion of those that write praises to myself, but there's no doubt around the maturity with the perception of these people. Yes, it you can see that this can be a film. But guys - this is actually the degree of directing and script beneath the floor. Has mastered the primary two installments of the 1st season, there is absolutely no desire to seem further.
From the very first minutes I desired to wind. Everyone loves atmospheric films, dull landscapes, whipping up a tragic atmosphere ... This isn't here. Neither the digital camera work, nor the inventory in the frame and other associated things helped. The scenes are prolonged to begin exhaustion. A very secure negative is the very first perhaps the series. The sense they will wished to cheat me never left me - the thought was extracted from the fantastic film'28 days later ', together with the creators'imagination, apparently, quite tight. Next is the key character. In most cases, it seemed that an adult man - his wife, children - behaves himself so stupidly, but from his stupid actions and inappropriate behavior the hand itself literally magnetized to your forehead. Yes, it is not necessary to be heroic, but to behave rationally, at the very least with a small amount of courage and ingenuity, and it becomes far better (his visit to the location with zombies, with a horse, such as a sheriff's deputy is a separate fail).
In regards to the acting: weak. It looks like a drama, but they don't care. Neither fish nor fowl. The chief character has one emotion - tension.
Action is seen in micro-sizes, a few interesting decisions took place - that predictability kills everything in the bud. Not interested.
What happens while in the series itself is not clear. It appears like it as planned, but it really works in an undesirable way. Why suddenly zombies, where, movie review when - not less than some information. But no, were shown the link of men and women, their idle chatter and running around. This is very much the primary motive with the series. The heroes, having deterred their brains, do anything but try to outlive and adjust to the changed world. If someone came here with the zombies, don't waste your time.
P. s. that negative testamonials are not particularly favored here - they are simply mercilessly minus. However give greater than convincing facts - like endless cartridges, food, gasoline, the hopeless stupidity of heroes, short sleeves ... Seriously, knowing that a zombie bite is 100% fatal, does one walk down the street in a thin shirt? ... Or knowing that zombies react towards sound, loudly call their friend? ...
It would seem a trifle - but the thought of the picture consists of such trifles.
