Walking Santa Barbara
Being hot for the zombie theme plus the post-apocalypse, she avoided this series for a long period - I wasn't thankful for the trailer, the actors are extremely ordinary-looking. Recently, my set of zombie films started to thin out and I rubbed my hands, tuned in to the drama and non-trivial plot, sat down to view the first episode. Unfortunately, sheer disappointment with a touch of rabies. Frenzy from high ratings and loud positive read reviews. Certainly, I will help keep the opinion of people who write praises to myself, but it is obvious about the maturity in the perception of these people. Yes, it is apparent that this is a film. But guys - right here is the a higher level directing and script beneath the floor. Has mastered the earliest two episodes of the primary season, there is absolutely no desire to appear further.
From the very first minutes Needed to wind. I like atmospheric films, dull landscapes, whipping up a tragic atmosphere ... This may not be here. Neither your camera work, nor the inventory based in the frame and other connected things helped. The scenes are long to begin exhaustion. A strong negative is the initial perhaps the series. The experience how they desired to cheat me never left me - the reasoning was stripped away from the truly great film'28 days later ', while using the creators'imagination, apparently, quite tight. Next is the principle character. Usually, 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 to the forehead. Yes, you shouldn't have to be heroic, but to behave rationally, at the very least with a small amount of courage and ingenuity, and it could be a lot better (his day at the location with zombies, on a horse, as a sheriff's deputy is a separate fail).
In regards to the acting: weak. It seems like a drama, however they don't care. Neither fish nor fowl. The primary character has one emotion - tension.
Action is present in micro-sizes, a number of interesting decisions have taken place - will predictability kills everything in the bud. Not interested.
What the results are inside the series itself is not clear. It appears like it ought to be as planned, but it truly does work in a bad way. Why suddenly zombies, where, when - at least some information. But no, we are shown the relationship of individuals, their idle chatter and running around. This definitely seems to be the principle motive of your series. The heroes, having switched off their brains, do anything whatsoever but try to live and get used to the changed world. If someone came here because of the zombies, don't waste your time.
P. s. I see that negative testamonials are not particularly favored here - these are simply mercilessly minus. Although people give more than convincing facts - like endless cartridges, food, gasoline, the hopeless stupidity of heroes, short sleeves ... Seriously, understanding that a zombie bite is 100% fatal, do you walk outside inside of a thin shirt? ... Or acknowledge that zombies react towards the sound, loudly call their friend? ...
It would seem a trifle - but the overall perception of the picture consists of these trifles.
