Lazy and Meh
Yes i weep...Its hard to believe this comes from the efforts of mr. star trek, mr. lost and mr. iron man..however, look deeper and its not all so pretty, because its also produced by the likes of mr. terra nova and mr. V(which coulda been fantastic btw). That said, with all these "producers" in tow, Revolution has evened out to exactly what it could and will ever be, lazy and meh, but with a bigger budget.
Revolutions' biggest problem is not the writing, the average acting(by most) or its premise, its the execution. While the writing makes you yawn or pause to debate hitting stop or delete, the acting is pretty decent all around and the premise is appealingly simple. The ho-hum, uninspired, unrealistic execution however is Revolutions' downfall...unlike Falling Skies' inspired, yet not remotely perfect execution and semi-decent cast.
Now don't get me wrong, Falling skies execution is the only thing that sets it apart from Revolution. Its believability is wholly...
Typical of JJ Abrams and the TV Networks
First of all, this is an awesome premise... except for the major issue of physics not working anymore. Here's a hint guys, if electricity (which is only the movement of electrons) no longer functions correctly then every living thing on the planet dies. But aside from that...
The characters, so far, seem a bit wooden. I allow for that, it's hard to introduce 5 major characters in just 43 minutes. I can live with it.
I have two issues with this show and there is some potential saving here. The first issue: is this going to be another mysterious MacGuffin show. That's what happened to Lost and Alias and it drove me insane. I don't mind strange artifacts or mysterious numbers, but give us some freaking closure. SPOILER ALERT: These dratted USB drives that can circumvent the laws of physics (or put it right back the way it was) is kind of silly.
The second issue is the 'romance story' that I keep hearing about with regards to this show. I don't...
Sorta like 'Lost' but like season 3 of Lost. The one that sucked big time.
The show is too unbelievable. Even with trying to suspend disbelief I was unable to get engrossed in this convoluted story. How is it, with so much time to tell a story on a television show, they can be so lazy as to completely disregard logic? At least TRY to get things to make a little sense. And the fact that the world is in this condition, but everyone has perfectly clean and pressed clothes bugs me too. If the story was good I could ignore these things, but since it isn't, I can not forgive this show for the crappiness it is. I watched the first four episodes, if it gets better please let me know and I'll give it a second chance.
