Walking Santa Barbara
Being a fan of the zombie theme and the post-apocalypse, she avoided this series for many years - I wasn't in awe of the trailer, the actors are quite ordinary-looking. Recently, my set of zombie films begin to thin out and I rubbed my hands, tuned on the drama and non-trivial plot, sat down to look at the very first episode. Unfortunately, sheer disappointment with a touch of rabies. Frenzy from high ratings and loud positive read reviews. Needless to say, I help keep the opinion of those that write praises to myself, but there isn't any doubt around the maturity with the thought of these people. Yes, it is see-through that that is a film. But guys - this is the level of directing and script beneath the floor. Has mastered the 1st two instances of the primary season, there is no desire to look further.
From the primary minutes I needed to wind. I like atmospheric films, dull landscapes, whipping up a tragic atmosphere ... It's not here. Neither the digital camera work, nor the inventory in the frame and other connected things helped. The scenes are prolonged to the point of exhaustion. A very secure negative is the 1st perhaps the series. The opinion that they can want to cheat me never left me - the objective was removed from the fantastic film'28 days later ', while using creators'imagination, apparently, quite tight. Next is the primary character. In most cases, it seemed that a adult man - his wife, children - behaves himself so stupidly, but from his stupid actions and inappropriate behavior the hand itself literally magnetized on the forehead. Yes, there is no need being heroic, but to behave rationally, at the least with a drop of courage and ingenuity, and it will be a lot better (his day at town with zombies, with a horse, in the form of a sheriff's deputy is actually a separate fail).
In regards to the acting: weak. It feels like a drama, nevertheless they don't care. Neither fish nor fowl. The main character has one emotion - tension.
Action is present in micro-sizes, a few interesting decisions took place - only that predictability kills all things in the bud. Not interested.
What happens in the series is not clear. It looks like it as planned, but it does work in an undesirable way. Why suddenly zombies, where, when - not less than some information. But no, we're also shown the bond of individuals, their idle chatter and running around. This looks like it's the primary motive in the series. The heroes, having switched off their brains, do anything whatsoever but try to survive and conform to the changed world. If someone came here due to zombies, don't waste your time.
P. s. that negative testamonials are not particularly favored here - they may be simply mercilessly minus. Although people give more 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 across town in a very thin shirt? ... Or realizing that zombies react for the sound, loudly call their friend? ...
It would seem a trifle - but the normal perception of the picture consists of such trifles.
