Like a lot of Sci-Fi fans, I had been eagerly awaiting TNT's new 'epic' series Falling Skies, which had its two hour debut last night.
Good God, what a disappointment.
From Executive Producer Steven Spielberg comes this lame effort that is nothing more than a cut and paste of plot pievces from at least a half dozen different 'alien invasion' moves/series. There wasn't a new element anywhere in the two hours - every situation, every line, every character had already been seen in something else.
Hell, the "50 GTO" (supposedly a GTO convertible with a .50 caliber machine gun mounted in the back), wasn't even real. It was a plain old Tempest convertible - and yes, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.
Lame, weak, predictable waste of electrons ...
Exactly my thoughts. I was SO hoping for something great (good scifi is under rocks these days), but I got just pile of cr*p...
ReplyDeleteAgreed, totally. What a disappointment. Juha (FIN).
ReplyDeleteI have to agree. I've seen FPS games with better plots and dialog, and they were crap, too.
ReplyDeleteTo top it off, SGU was cancelled. WTF.
