Sooooo… it’s Dexter….

A garbage prequel to a mediocre spin of a tired buddy cop genre. So this is how Jeff Bridges’ original becomes a ghost cop. So… why does he age after he dies? Anyway, it’s pretty awful.
This movie is laughable and not based in reality. It might make people feel good, but history tells a story quite different than the one portrayed here.
What can I say about this movie. Super cheese. I mean SUPER cheese.
Production value of a CW show. I could care less to what happened to any of the generic characters. Tolkien couldn’t follow this plot.
Gotta say. Off to a good start. Always been a fan of Blade Runner and this aesthetic doesn’t disappoint.
Rambo’s cliche dream of his country loving him as much as those soldiers love it has become a total mind wash for the people and they are lost in Communism Marxism and every “Ism” evil has created to destroy steal and rob. Hollywood leads the evil swamp creatures into destroying the idea of equality for all men under God, not man. Power corrupts. Ultimate power corrupts ultimately.
Go see this in the theater if you can!!! If not, watch it anyway. 9/10
Tommy??? Really??? That’s what we’re going with?
This is what happens when you don’t reference the source material and take copious amounts of drugs.
Another failed academic, noting nothing, as per usual, but claiming everything… a typical socialist. Socialism is simply a failed form of communism, which is its natural progression…ultimately. You know what brings people, together, and prevents wars….trade. That’s right economic trade. Provide or offer me something to purchase, and I will endeavor to develop that relationship, as opposed to killing you. It has proven the test of time. Academics like to make much of their usual socialist hyperboles, but never provide any real world examples that were successful..never.So instead they theorize,conjecture, speculate, and pretend things haven’t worked out because it simply hasn’t been done the right way. They’re narcissists by nature pretending to self-immolate, when in reality it is impossible for them to deny themselves. Something akin to the Klaus Schwabs of the world, who think they are above everyone else.Why do u think we are in the crud we are in now? He is of the same ilk, and has cost millions of lives, not from an exaggerated pandemic, but rather from economic capitulation. And there is far more lost lives to come. Socialists are delusional, and full of themselves. For the communal good they tell you.Right. Just ask my cousins who live in Venezuela.You’d think one would learn this from a simple novel like Animal Farm , or Lord of the Flies. Simply dangerous Nonsense.
You do realize that Venezuela’s collapse was due to their putting all their eggs in one basket with their vast oil reserves and banking on the hope it would pay off instead of diversifying into agriculture and infrastructure right? To simply say, “See? They’re socialist and look what happened!” is about as unacademic as you can get. Add the fact that there was incredible corruption by Maduro.
Yes, this is truly great show that many peopled missed. It’s proof you don’t need a big budget to create great characters, dialogue and storylines. Inventive sci-fi material with lots of humor, as well. I’m still pissed the last season was cut, but the two-episode movie-finale they did instead (at the insistence of an outraged fan write-in campaign) was very well done, despite being a bit crammed with plot.
Not a big budget?!? The whole thing was done with Jim Hensons workshop! An episode was between 1 to 2 million so I have no idea what you’re talking about and the production value shows that. Doesn’t need a big budget…. pfffft.
I’m not even about to watch this. Can someone tell Hollywood that this story is sooooo tired? These aren’t even spoilers. Bad guy knicks wife/gf or whatever and good guy has to kick ass to get her back with the final bad guy getting blown up in some cliche way but not before the good guy has a quick one liner. It’s literally a tale as old as time.
Two episodes in and I’m afraid I have some gripes. I absolutely love this book. Please go and read the unabridged version. I even liked the original miniseries. That said I have a few complaints. First is that this adaptation downplays the magnitude of the virus and the absolute chaos it creates. Of course there are scenes with lots of bodies around but they are extremely infrequent and very limited. This is due to the fact that they are already showing scenes from things that happen half way up to almost 2/3’s of the way through the novel. And that bugs me to death. I don’t mind nonlinear story telling but this just jumps right into the Mother Abigail and Randall Flagg alignments. This should have been introduced WAY later than the first two episodes. The whole mystery of the dreams and the pull towards whichever faction starts about halfway in the book and it’s what makes the story compelling when it’s introduced in the original way. Imagine if someone remade Star Wars and you get the opening with Leia and Darth Vader then the next scene is Luke on Dagobah. To me it’s that jarring. At this rate they should be done by episode 4. The casting was very unusual as well. Stu Redman is supposed to be this 40 something Texan but here he’s played by Cyclops. Mother Abigail is over 100 but yet they went with Whoopi. The deaf guy is missing an eye? Leon looks exactly like the deaf guy. And Eric Skaarsgard just isn’t menacing enough to pull off a diabolical character like Randall Flagg. This choice HAD to be because his brother did so well as Pennywise. I do like Larry Underwood’s casting choice and Harold’s as well. Even Nadine looks like the original Nadine. But all the rest just really take me out of the story. I also agree that the bloating just seems ridiculous as a symptom of this virus. It’s just overly done for dramatic purposes and doesn’t receive the desired result it tries to convey. I’m going to watch the full series but so far I’m having trouble enjoying it. But that’s just me being hypercritical simply because I love the source material so much. I highly urge whoever reads this to go out and get the book.

Uber technologically advanced civilizations in caves. I mean… sigh… step it up.
Wow! So much is going on….. drama, action more drama and more action! And then Blam! Horrific Lovecraftian weirdness in your face!
What else to say about this 1st ep? Plenty. But not without spoilers I think.
Oh, and please do stick around till after the credits for a sneak peak.
Fantastic movie. Excellent cinematography, great characters with little exposition, but with that little such great character development. It’s definitely for the more refined movie snob.
Man I’m done with this show. Did they switch writers up? What happened with the start of season 6 not getting resolved?!? Done. I’m just done.
I dig the 90’s aesthetic
