We have been waiting over a year for something new. Covid has killed a lot. I am hoping it has not killed our ability to recognize a waste of film. this was just bad writing. Captain America had a huge back story. However they told it and moved on with the story. That being said I will watch season 2 of this, if it is made. Only because I am invested in this. time was spent watching this I will never get back. But again Covid killed Hollywood. And right now this is the only thing we have new to watch. Now let us be honest this story chased its own tail through 8 episodes.It was so bad they psychoanalyzed the main actor just to make sure even the dumbest of us watchers understood it. And still failed to complete the backstory. 2/5 stars.

The backstory uses the same format as the CW show Arrow. Its continuously told alongside the present story.
This isnt a new format and I loved it personally. Having read the Jupiters Legacy comics I am really glad they stretched out the backstory and gave them a lot more character and personality before they got their powers.
Its honestly very well done
I didnt
Just realized you are a different person. Didnt bother to check names, my bad.
I amend my statement: Everyone but you and one other guy liked this.
its like a bad CW show.
Decent low budget sci fi with some familiar faces. Brandon routhe is great in this as are the other actors.
Its got a few plot holes keeping it from being elevated to great, along with the slightly unsatisfying ending.
I give it a 6/10 Ive seen way worse sci fi
Not terrible. A nice low budget coming of age story about teens being teens on a school field trip.
This is like a low budget drawn out “Arrival” type movie, in the sense that it is some sort of alien contact done in a high concept, artsy way, but this falls quite short. It has some good moments but many parts are way to drawn out. This would have worked great as a short film.
Its on youtube…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyzlH4N_hNc
“Everythings a Drum” is one of the funniest things Ive ever seen.
zombies having sex and making kids?
it takes a special kind of stupid to like this garbage
Genetically engineered smart zombies would probably have the instinct to try and reproduce. It was a special zombie created by science that started it all if you followed the plot. If its smart enough to wear a helmet its smart enough to want to bang. Makes sense to me
Disappointed so far in the first 2 episodes. Hopefully they course correct
the left have no morals! thus they are morally bankrupt!
That isnt answering the question…just restating the false premise
so this is what they think of us 15 season and this is what they use to end it i about puked watching this needless terrible crying seriously nobody wanted this nobody liked this what a terrible way to end a great series shameful really
Omg soooo boring 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ watch Marvel lovers twist it into something else even when Marvel dish out underwhelming product 🤣
Agreed. I love marvel stuff, and was excited for the black and white throwbacks, but thats ALL IT IS. Its garbage
If it wasn’t for some sub par acting and average special effects this movie would be a 10/10.
It takes a seemingly simple premise and just keeps going with the story far beyond where a normal movies plot would have wrapped things up, and I love it.
Many times when a scfi movie starts getting near the end and a conclusion is in sight, I wonder what comes next, what do the implications of whats happening right now have for the future in this world.
This movie, while low budget, scratched that itch for sure.
This is one of the very few low budget scifi movies Ive watched more than once.
If you arent a fan of the acting in the beginning I would suggest to give it a chance for the story alone.
Salma had like 4-5 lines that i played back a few times, and i still have no idea what she said. Some people like to blame that on an accent lol. The Bronx is an accent i can understand people there. It’s not accent, it is inability to properly speak a language. I certainly have no problem with people who struggle with a language, but when you have a story/ script written in a certain language…you need the ability to convey the story to the audience in the language that it was written. I wouldn’t ask anyone from the deep south of the US to speak English either.
A much improved cut. But you can polish a turd all you want, it’s still a turd. Can’t help but to facepalm almost constantly through it. The dialogue, written by a child WTF? The acting, especially Affleck’s and he feels badly miscast. And Luthor? Appalling choice, doesn’t bode well. On top of that Leto, might just be the final nail in the coffin. What happened to thinking things through while writing and filming a movie? Seems increasingly rare nowadays. Well, the special effects were superb, so was the sound. Link 10 has AAC sound and very good video quality.
Dialog was excellent. Acting was excellent. Luthor was great. Leto was much much better than in suicide squad, total redemption imo.
4 episodes in, 6/10 (with potential to improve). If you completely disregard associating it with the book, Id say its getting better. Its basically its own unique show at this point and if you watch it with that frame of mind, its arguably a good show, so far.
Okay its finally getting better. This is why I keep watching even if I think a show sucks. Sometimes I am surprised.
but yet, you keep watching?
cant look away from a car wreck. I watch batwoman also and that show is garbage
Average. Mostly social dynamics we’ve seen a bunch of times between different human factions in the walking dead. But its not terrible
I loved it! A post apocalypse Chappie, but done great! Very emotional ending
Time for my yearly Preacher binge, love this show!
Anyone who rewatches preacher yearly is someone I would buy a beer
The people that made this are just film fans. They have a youtube channel called Redlettermedia
If you watch it in the context of these are just some idiots making a fun movie for like 1000 bucks, its not the worst thing Ive ever seen.
This is like a film school project. I think they thought they could get away with being low budget like the movie Primer. But it just doesnt have the same feel.
Haha!The synopsis alone is trippy.
im gonna smoke a bowl and check it out, thanks for commenting I saw it on the side bar, havent heard of this film till just now
edit: I watched a trailer and then the first 10 minutes….this is not the kind of weird and trippy I want in my life hahaha
Overall good movie. I enjoyed it. Thematically the ending was good, but logically it didnt make any sense to me. If his blood was renewed when in proximity to the blonde lady why didnt he get his powers back? If we take it as fact that he didn’t have powers when his blood turned blue, how did his powers transfer to the girl if he didn’t even have them in the first place? If his blood turned blue and regained abilities he shouldn’t have died. If im missing something please let me know Im genuinely curious
no z nation was bad in a good way this is just bad. zombies taking hostages and having kids? nah
They look, sound and act like terrorest’s
Who specifically are you saying look like terrorists?
The relationship twist at the end was great. I didnt see it coming. Im hooked
His powers came from the crystal force thing, sorry already forgot, not his blood. When they came together there biology was changing/reverted slightly like it was in their universe. Why she got powers I’d guess the “crystal gift” leftover in his blood transfered to her like Green Lantern style. Then on Earth the powers come from something else, like maybe the Sun.
But the power that transferred to the girl came from his blood, like visually on screen it erupted from his blood and went into her body.
So it had to have been in his blood before he jumped out of the window since it was blue already from getting shot. If the power in his blood let the girl fly, why didnt it let him fly while he was still alive when he tacked the girl. Either he should have powers or the powers shouldnt have been in his blood at all to transfer to the girl imo. Just doesnt make sense to me.
Ok i get it you are just completely insane or deluded, you type like you’re in a 16th century play..
I apologize for my previous comments then, i take no pride in making fun of the mentally feebled.
So the ailens are human? That’s a cop out
You couldnt tell from the first scene that had the clearly human manufactured drones walking around and shooting people.
