Walking Santa Barbara
Being a fan of the zombie theme plus the post-apocalypse, she avoided this series for some time - I was not in awe of the trailer, the actors have become ordinary-looking. Recently, my list of zombie films begun to thin out and I rubbed my hands, tuned into the drama and non-trivial plot, sat down to view the very first episode. Unfortunately, sheer disappointment with a little rabies. Frenzy from high ratings and loud positive read reviews. Naturally, I will keep the opinion of those who write praises to myself, but there's no doubt in regards to the maturity on the perception of these people. Yes, it you can see that it is a film. But guys - here is the degree of directing and script below the floor. Has mastered the first two episodes of the primary season, there's no desire to search further.
From the first minutes I want to to wind. I really like atmospheric films, dull landscapes, whipping up a tragic atmosphere ... That isn't here. Neither you work, nor the inventory based in the frame and other connected things helped. The scenes are time consuming to the point of exhaustion. A very secure negative is the 1st perhaps the series. The feeling they planned to cheat me never left me - the thought was stripped away from the good film'28 days later ', using the creators'imagination, apparently, quite tight. Next is the primary 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 towards forehead. Yes, there's no need to get heroic, but to behave rationally, at the least with a small amount of courage and ingenuity, and it will be much better (his visit to the city with zombies, over a horse, in the form of a sheriff's deputy is really a separate fail).
Regarding the acting: weak. It appears as if a drama, but they also don't care. Neither fish nor fowl. The key character has one emotion - tension.
Action is obtained in micro-sizes, a few interesting decisions have taken place - will predictability kills my way through the bud. Not interested.
What goes on inside series itself is not clear. It feels like it ought to be as planned, but it works in an awful way. Why suddenly zombies, where, when - at the least some information. But no, i am shown their bond of persons, their idle chatter and running around. This is very much the chief motive of the series. The heroes, having not power on their brains, do what's necessary but try to survive and alter to the changed world. If someone came here with the zombies, don't waste your time.
P. s. that negative comments are not particularly favored here - they 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, would you walk across the street in a very thin shirt? ... Or with the knowledge that zombies react towards the sound, loudly call their friend? ...
It would seem a trifle - but the normal thought of the picture consists of such trifles.
