Strong and Moving!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

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.

Loved it. The show picked up momentum to an intriguing story line. By the end, I was hooked on the characters and the hints at the unknown event that preceded "the after." It looks like Chris Carter has created a post apocalyptic show that uses realistic possibilities and mysterious coincidences, (like the X- files?) where the audience can enjoy speculating about clues and significances to find answers. If so, even better! Some of the characters are a bit more believable than others--and some are great. Would like to learn about their back stories. The horn got to be a bit annoying and it might have been nice to have music to pick up the pace at the beginning but after they got out of the garage, the action compensated. The concept is compelling. Looking forward to the series!

Why do the writers insult our intelligence with such poor dialog nowadays. The constant unnecessary (but in show makers eyes seemingly obligatory nowadays) use of the 'f' word by one character in the first 10 minutes completely turned me off this from the start. I suppose it's the way all of these TV shows seem to be going with regards offensive language these days.. Give me the TV shows of the 80s and 90s every time. The show that this is being compared with was one of the greatest sci-fi shows of all time and deservedly so. I watched this to the end though to see if it was the 'X-Files for the 2000s' and although it had its moments the use of strong language throughout just completely spoiled it for me. Another TV show with one or maybe two seasons in it before cancellation I'd go as far to say.

Without going into too much detail, I just cannot see the point in this Pilot, nothing anyone did made any sense, like the following: Why would you choose to go to a strangers house with other total strangers just because you had just been stuck in a lift for 5 minutes with them ? Why would an escaped convict come back to rescue some people including a police officer who he had met 2 minutes earlier and threatened with a gun when the city was swarming with police and other rescue personal ? Why does everyone swear so much, every sentence contained "fucking", the Irish character only knows this word, but hey nobody seems really bothered, there seems to be something else going on (a few booming noises and a lot of people hanging around in the streets, swearing) but everything appears to be normal, but just in case its not lets stick together with an escaped convict and a dodgy looking Irish gob shite ! Just to keep us interested in the end we have a weird guy painted blue with snazzy eyes and little horns appear and attempt to caress our heroine, he however gets knocked down and decides it will be quicker to get away by crawling on his back ! Does it make much sense ? Well it didn't to me !
