Walking Santa Barbara
Being keen on the zombie theme and also the post-apocalypse, she avoided this series for a long period - I was not thankful for the trailer, the actors are extremely ordinary-looking. Recently, my number of zombie films did start to thin out and I rubbed my hands, tuned into the drama and non-trivial plot, sat down to enjoy the first episode. Unfortunately, sheer disappointment with a little rabies. Frenzy from high ratings and loud positive movies reviews. Needless to say, I could keep the opinion of people who write praises to myself, but there's no doubt regarding the maturity with the perception of these people. Yes, it is apparent that it is a film. But guys - this is the level of directing and script beneath the floor. Has mastered the primary two instances of the initial season, you cannot find any desire to look further.
From the primary minutes Needed to wind. I like atmospheric films, dull landscapes, whipping up a tragic atmosphere ... This may not be here. Neither the camera work, nor the inventory based in the frame and other related things helped. The scenes are drawn out to the point of exhaustion. A quite strong negative is the earliest the main series. The sense how they want to cheat me never left me - the thought was obtained from the great film'28 days later ', while using creators'imagination, apparently, quite tight. Next is the key character. In most cases, it seemed that an adult man - his wife, children - behaves himself so stupidly, but from his stupid actions and inappropriate behavior the hand itself literally magnetized towards the forehead. Yes, it is not necessary to generally be heroic, but to behave rationally, at the very least with a drop of courage and ingenuity, and it might be significantly better (his escape to metropolis with zombies, on a horse, in the form of a sheriff's deputy is actually a separate fail).
Regarding the acting: weak. It seems like a drama, nevertheless they don't care. Neither fish nor fowl. The key character has one emotion - tension.
Action is found in micro-sizes, a handful of interesting decisions have taken place - will predictability kills everything in the bud. Not interested.
What goes on while in the series itself is not clear. It seems like it should be as planned, but it works in a poor way. Why suddenly zombies, where, when - a minimum of some information. But no, i am shown the relationship of folks, their idle chatter and running around. This is apparently the key motive of your series. The heroes, having powered down their brains, do what's necessary but try to outlive and adapt to the changed world. If someone came here due to the zombies, don't waste your time.
P. s. I see that negative testamonials are not particularly favored here - they're simply mercilessly minus. However give in excess of 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, do you walk across the street in the thin shirt? ... Or realizing that zombies react to your sound, loudly call their friend? ...
You would have it a trifle - but the final thought of the picture consists of these trifles.
