Walking Santa Barbara
Being a fan of the zombie theme as well as post-apocalypse, she avoided this series for a long time - I was not thankful for a clip, the actors are extremely ordinary-looking. Recently, my listing of zombie films began to thin out and I rubbed my hands, tuned in the drama and non-trivial plot, sat down to see the 1st episode. Unfortunately, sheer disappointment with a bit of rabies. Frenzy from high ratings and loud positive movies reviews. Naturally, I will keep the opinion of people who write praises to myself, but there's no question with regards to the maturity of the perception of these people. Yes, it is apparent that this can be a film. But guys - this is actually the higher level of directing and script below the floor. Has mastered the 1st two installments of the 1st season, there is absolutely no desire to search further.
From the initial minutes I need to to wind. I adore atmospheric films, dull landscapes, whipping up a tragic atmosphere ... That isn't here. Neither the digital camera work, nor the inventory perfectly found on the frame and other connected things helped. The scenes are time consuming to begin exhaustion. A good negative is the earliest part of the series. The impression how they needed to cheat me never left me - the concept was taken from the good film'28 days later ', with all the creators'imagination, apparently, quite tight. Next is the key character. Typically, 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 to the forehead. Yes, there's no need to get heroic, but to behave rationally, at least with a drop of courage and ingenuity, and it becomes a lot better (his trip to metropolis with zombies, over a horse, such as a sheriff's deputy is often a separate fail).
Regarding the acting: weak. It appears as if a drama, but they don't care. Neither fish nor fowl. The leading character has one emotion - tension.
Action is found in micro-sizes, a handful of interesting decisions have got place - only that predictability kills all things in the bud. Not interested.
What happens while in the series itself is not clear. It feels like it ought to be as planned, but it functions in an awful way. Why suddenly zombies, where, when - not less than some information. But no, we have been shown their bond of persons, their idle chatter and running around. This looks like it's the main motive on the series. The heroes, having switched off their brains, do what's necessary but try to outlive and get used to the changed world. If anyone came here due to zombies, don't waste your time.
P. s. I see that negative comments are not particularly favored here - they are simply mercilessly minus. However give more than convincing facts - like endless cartridges, food, gasoline, the hopeless stupidity of heroes, short sleeves ... Seriously, acknowledge that a zombie bite is 100% fatal, does one walk downtown in a thin shirt? ... Or with the knowledge that zombies react on the sound, loudly call their friend? ...
You would have it a trifle - but the thought of the image consists of such trifles.
