Walking Santa Barbara
Being hot for the zombie theme along with the post-apocalypse, she avoided this series for a long time - I was not afraid of a clip, the actors are extremely ordinary-looking. Recently, my directory of zombie films began to thin out and I rubbed my hands, tuned on the drama and non-trivial plot, sat down to view the earliest episode. Unfortunately, sheer disappointment with a little rabies. Frenzy from high ratings and loud positive reviews. Certainly, I will keep the opinion of those people who write praises to myself, but no doubt concerning the maturity on the perception of these people. Yes, it is obvious that this is usually a film. But guys - right here is the level of directing and script underneath the floor. Has mastered the primary two episodes of the very first season, there is absolutely no desire to search further.
From the very first minutes I needed to wind. I really like atmospheric films, dull landscapes, whipping up a tragic atmosphere ... This may not be here. Neither your camera work, nor the inventory located in the frame and other related things helped. The scenes are prolonged to the point of exhaustion. A very good negative is the first part of the series. The impression which they needed to cheat me never left me - the theory was extracted from the fantastic film'28 days later ', with the creators'imagination, apparently, quite tight. Next is the leading character. In most cases, it seemed that grown-up 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 for being heroic, but to behave rationally, at least with a small amount of courage and ingenuity, and it will be far better (his escape to the metropolis with zombies, with a horse, in the form of a sheriff's deputy is often a separate fail).
Regarding the acting: weak. It seems like a drama, but they don't care. Neither fish nor fowl. The principle character has one emotion - tension.
Action is within micro-sizes, a couple of interesting decisions have taken place - will predictability kills all things in the bud. Not interested.
What occurs from the series itself is not clear. It appears as if it must be as planned, but it truly does work in an awful way. Why suddenly zombies, where, when - at the least some information. But no, we're shown the relationship of people, their idle chatter and running around. This definitely seems to be the chief motive on the series. The heroes, having turned off their brains, do anything but try to thrive and adapt to the changed world. If anyone came here due to zombies, don't waste your time.
P. s. that negative testamonials are not particularly favored here - these are simply mercilessly minus. However give a lot 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 outside inside a thin shirt? ... Or blog with movies reviews the knowledge that zombies react towards sound, loudly call their friend? ...
You would have it a trifle - but the overall thought of the image consists of such trifles.
