Date: March 9th, 2018 12:56 AM Author: Gay passionate athletic conference forty minutes in every line every character speaks is some combination of leaden, overwrought, or unbearably stupid
for all the money sunk into the world it seems artificial and flimsy as hell |

Date: March 9th, 2018 1:08 AM Author: Green Goal In Life i thought the world building in the first couple episodes was pretty cool. but the characters/plot/acting itself falls off disastrously after that. by the end of the series i was ready to bash the whole thing as bad (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3913834&forum_id=2#35567307) |

Date: March 9th, 2018 1:11 AM Author: Gay passionate athletic conference the ideas are neat but everything is spelled out as bluntly, clumsily and repetitively as possible. i can't help but compare it to akira or the ghost in the shell tv show, which did a much better job of building a convincing world.
it also has absolutely no sense of humor outside the one goofy edgar allen poe impersonator
it doesn't help that william gibson style cyberpunk was kinda done here even when the book was written like 15 years ago, its a vision of the future from the 80's so the visual style of the show looks dated and derivative |

Date: March 9th, 2018 1:18 AM Author: razzle-dazzle saffron corn cake fanboi the writing is worse than a USA network or sci-fi-fi channel show. it retains the hardcore autistic character development and emotional resolutions of its hard science fiction source material.
and lmao at Netflix spending money on this dated cyberpunk shit. it looks like a cheap knock-off next to something thoughtful like the new bladerunner movie because that's exactly what it is. |
|
Date: March 9th, 2018 1:29 AM Author: Gay passionate athletic conference cr. the new blade runner updated the visual style beautifully and the whole world seemed to flow naturally out of the crushing loneliness and isolation of gosling's character.
i started watching the 2nd ep of altered carbon but had to stop. there's no narrative explanation for why the world is the way it is, which is fine, but there's also no thematic connection. it's just pastiche. badass spec ops loner detective badass mercenary revolutionary badass. sinister old rich guy with his office full of ancient curios. lots of tatted up punks fucking each other. just a bunch of random odds and ends. |

Date: July 20th, 2018 4:43 PM Author: Vivacious telephone It's actually an incredibly well plotted show with a full story arc. You just dont have the attention span to fit all the details together. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3913834&forum_id=2#36467098) |

Date: February 23rd, 2019 10:59 PM Author: razzle-dazzle saffron corn cake fanboi the 'plotting' is horrendous and no different than any other detective noir mystery. every single element of it is recycled from something else. a twelve year old could understand every development in the story with ease and it's designed that way because young people are the target audience for this crap.
but i'm not surprised that a superlative retard like yourself thinks it's complex or requires some kind of attentive viewing. |
