Perfectly adorable

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This is the absolute best pilot I have seen in a long while! Very sad thats all there is of this show. Personally, I think this series could be a great one, and I sure it would have more than enough followers to make it work. I like how we know just what the characters know, so we can follow the story along with this group of eight people. It kind of seems a bit similar to Revolution, with all the electricity being gone, but this one seem to have more than just the power going out. Is it an invasion? Is the government behind this? Is our planet just giving up? I have no idea, but I would really like to know!! I really hope they reconsider and make the show.

Ever since Lost mindless and usually pointless riddles have become an accepted tool in story telling. Well, it is not a good tool. Particularly if it is used to make up for the fact that your narrative is boring and little. Here the author and director Chris Carter throws in all the proved elements of conventional TV shows in the pot and stirred well. Much helps much wise. It doesn't. It is also very bothersome that nothing is very realistic. Five people trapped in a garage and they cannot open a flimsy gate. Come on!Doors don't open because of power outage. But real life they are battery powered because power outages in fact happen even without supernatural intervention. And on goes the list. It is simply sloppily researched. In 'Halt and Catch Fire' one can see how proper recherché goes. Every detail has been taken the time to get right there. And a story CAN be fantastic and plausible at the same time. So what about the cast. Aldis Hodge, is trying his best to make his character a believable, realistic person. Unfortunately his role - at least in the first episode - seems to be the indoctrinator of political correctness. So the black guy has to be the only one with common sense and reminds us how flawed the legal system is. Well, it is, but what has that got to do with anything in this context. Why bring it up?External reasons I guess. Statements of political correctness generally do not improve a story if you just add them for wholesomeness. If I was black, I'd find it offensive, but what do I know about being black in the US. At least he is in my opinion the most realistic character in the show. That however is not owed to his ethnicity but his acting. Alas there is only so much you can do with such a script. Everybody else is basically free of personality and reduced to stereotypes. The french mommy (Louise Monot I think) is the worst. And too skinny. Why does the director try to bore us to death with yet another parent just trying to get home to her family. This has been done, the t-shirts have been made and yes, they are completely out of fashion for 5 years now.So here is what I predict. The storytelling will be very foreseeable because it is so heavy on the stereotypes. But in this kind of show there have to be surprising twists to keep an audience of lowered expectations from dying from boredom. How do you do that? Easy. By defying the rules of logic and the laws of physics. So it is going to be an even wackier narrative and over time it is going to be harder to believe. A little like in the X-Files only quicker and with a lesser cast. One can tell by the choice of cliffhanger how it is going to be from hereon out. But let's see how the next episode goes. There is no way but up.

The show had great potential, unfortunately they did a horrible job. In the main group of survivors they have - a hooker, an black escaped prisoner(innocent of all charges of course), an Hispanic female cop, a lawyer, an actress (a terrible one at that), a rich old white woman, an abusive alcoholic Irish man, and to top it off, a gay clown.Of course they bicker amongst themselves constantly, much like Walking Dead. I'm not quite sure why all writers think that the end of the world scenarios will bring out the worst in people. Maybe they should start from scratch with a bit more imagination. The actors could've phoned it in, they did such a bad job.

Watched the pilot and came here straight because i wanted to talk about this show that's how good it is.The show starts with something normal and then things start to happen and believe me when i say the things that happen increase the level of your curiosity. There are moments where you are just dying to see what happens next and then something happens that is totally worth it.I don't see why this won't air, i know for a fact there are a lot of people who like this genre.This show is a my dream show, i cannot wait for it to air. I am confident it will air.
