I gave up after a half hour of putting up with obnoxious, "look at me, I'm so great" show biz personalities. I stuck with it that long because I expected to see the 3-minute shorts the "directors" had produced and to hear serious critiques from the "pros." I gave up when it became clear we were only going to see mere seconds of those shorts - not even full screen - with multiple cutaways to facial expressions and un-helpful comments from the "pros."

The original Project was flawed, but always interesting. You actually saw what was going on, and you got thoughtful comments from Ben and Matt, and plenty of enlightening comments from actors and directors. They didn't always produce great stuff, but they were always interesting.

The reboot should have been better, but failed miserably. What were they thinking?

Slow and could have been more, but nicely done and thought-provoking. Not really worth the 9 stars I gave it, but I felt the need to goose the rating a tiny bit. Legit 6.5.

My guess the reason it wasn't more is that they didn't want to get preachy about the causes of the catastrophe. But they could and perhaps should have been a little preachy.

Good main characters and a fine plot - diminished by the weird, supernatural stuff. The story would have been strong without it. The things that went wrong could have had more realistic explanations.
