- Variety review

lol

I think Brian Lowry is sort of a shitty reviewer, but wow.

 

[JCX]

I actually liked Speed Racer, Cloud Atlas, and Jupiter Ascending, so I'll probably like this too.

 

[flintstryker]

I still believe!!! Really Juipter Ascending is the only movie they have done that I didn't like

 

[Alchemy]

Looks really interesting. I really liked Cloud Atlas and Speed Racer so I have hopes for this.

 

[Gambit 1138]

That actually looks really cool

 

[jett]

That was scathing, and after Jupiter Ass-ending I'm inclined to believe it. I'll still watch an ep, but jeez... The Wachs seem to be bombing across all forms of media.

- Variety review

lol

surprising no-one

 

[Korigama]

!!!

Wow. I've got nothing.

 

[Corpsepyre]

I have absolutely NO faith in this or the Wachowskis even. Disappointed way too many times.

Also getting sick of the whole 'EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED' bullshit that's been going around since Heroes.

[jmood88]

The Wachowski's just have such terrible luck (experience?) it seems.

So I'm curious. This show. Is the story entirely written by JMS or did the siblings help and added their own stuff?

It's not bad luck, it's them being shitty at their jobs.

 

[black_13]

Ugh Jupiter Ascending was so bad that I really think the Wachowskis have lost it. But still will watch for Sayid.

 

[maximum360]

Consider me intrigued [by the trailer]. At the very least it will be a mild diversion to watch while I work out. :]

 

[WarrenMax007]

Character trailers. Will watch for Riley.

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

Looks decent, but considering the Wachowski's are affiliated, I expect little.

 

[Dan]

FWIW, Keith Uhlich's review for The Hollywood Reporter is up, and he thinks the show works.

Reviews don't matter to me. Wachowskis are worth a watch. Period.

 

[Mifune]

There are some positive reviews out there to go with the Variety hatchet job.

The Hollywood Reporter
The Verge

Nobody has seen more than the first three episodes yet.

MARTHA JONES DATES A TRANS GIRL

BEST SERIES EVER

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Anyone making an OT for this? It premieres in a few days.

 

[hateradio]

MARTHA JONES DATES A TRANS GIRL

BEST SERIES EVER

So it is Martha Jones.

 

[GK86]

Anyone making an OT for this? It premieres in a few days.

Yeah, I will make it tonight.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Saw this trailer the other day and thought it looked good. Like Shyamalan, maybe they're more suited to TV shows than films?

 

[Atrophis]

These types of TV show reviews are so pointless. So many TV shows have proven reviewing just the first three episodes of a series and coming to some definitive opinion of the whole is a fools errand.

Plus using Cloud Atlas as a negative. Not cool bro.

 

[Game4life]

How did Wachowskis go from directing one of the most influential action flicks of all time to this. So sad.

 

[Montresor]

Jupiter Ascending: 10/10 movie. Lovely space opera

Cloud Atlas: 9/10 movie. Satisfying adventure through 6+ time periods.

I am 100% in for Netflix original Wachowski sci-fi.

 

[Bleepey]

Yeah, I will make it tonight.

Any witty subtitles? it seems to be a a lot like Global Frequency

 

[ilikeme]

Watching for Wolfgang. Max Riemelt makes my heart melt (terrible pun intended)

Seems alright (meaning awesome) to me.

 

[GK86]

Any witty subtitles? it seems to be a a lot like Global Frequency

I haven't thought of any, so feel free to suggest some!

Alan Sepinwall and Daniel Fienberg talked about the first three episodes on their latest podcast. Time stamp - 00:12:55 - 00:26:25

They were pretty conflicted, but weren't as negative as some of the other critics have been. Their general consensus was that it's weird and confusing, but also interesting and unique. They also said it really takes advantage of Netflix's binge model, more so than any of the previous Netflix originals.

I have to say, I'm a bit more optimistic after hearing their impressions.

 

[WarrenMax007]

They also said it really takes advantage of Netflix's binge model, more so than any of the previous Netflix originals.

Everyone said that about Bloodline, and it was hard to watch it, because the pace was so slow.

 

[jond76]

Looked interesting. I'll check this out. I'm pretty easy to entertain so I should be happy.

 

[hoos30]

Without watching the trailer, I predict this will be a lot like Marco Polo: the cinematography will be AMAZING and the plot will be SHIT.

Yeah, what happened with that? Didn't Netflix spend like $90M on Marco Polo? That story went nowhere.

 

[Wag]

I have 4k service for another month so I'll probably binge this because there's not much 4k on Netflix worth watching.

 

[The Albatross]

Looks interesting. Might watch it.

 

[hoos30]

Because they "stole" the idea for The Matrix from another writer.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Everyone said that about Bloodline, and it was hard to watch it, because the pace was so slow.

It was tailor made for binging though.

Yeah, what happened with that? Didn't Netflix spend like $90M on Marco Polo? That story went nowhere.

Marco Polo premiered last December on Netflix and has since been renewed for a second season.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

People hating on Marco Polo smh

Don't watch it like Game of Thrones but Game of Thrones with Kung Fu and it's actually really fun.

That blind dude is fucking awesome. Can't wait for S2.
