Maybe I missed something. Is there a reason Jeff dropped his Borat like accent at the end. Well I guess I can start with that voice. It's like Chappie and Borat had a love child. I was ready to hear Jeff say, "you like-ah my sister? Very sexy, number two prostitute in Kasakastan". Other than that, I'm a Big (no pun intended) Tom Hanks fan, loved Chappie and Short Circuit's Johnny Five, and tend to seek out post apocalyptic movies. This movie was sooooo boring. With all the material that world could offer, and someone decided to make a day in the life of movie. This movie sat right on the surface, offering no depth what so ever. Marooned with an inanimate object, I'm surprised Hanks didn't call the robot, Wilson. I would have given it a 5, but I gave it an extra point for a certain scene's display of affection.
You can see a good amount of reviewers posted after 2 episodes and were disappointed that the shorts had zero relation to the original TWD. I am a anthology junkie and have loved zombies since my grandmother allowed me to watch George A Romero's original when I was 8. Here, I felt the zombie world would be a great setting that would provide endless opportunity to create original anthology content. And sporadic stories directly related to TWD was a great idea to keep us connected. The later worked out. They did really well showing how Alpha became Alpha. As with a lot of anthologies, individual episodes often have different producers and directors. The production quality of episode 3 made me more so feel like I was watching TWD. In regards to the original content, they need to step it up. If Tales From the Crypt could put out quality engaging content for the better part of 7 years, these writers should be able to put out something more gripping for 2 episodes. No disrespect to Terry Crewes. He his great in certain comedy and action hero settings. But his role as a drama lead was not convincing. Imho, the acting was quite lacking. The second episode was a little better. At first I was disappointed in how they strayed from TWD's real world setting to a sci-fi capable world. But than I remembered it is an anthology series and anything can happen...... in The Twilight zone. Do do do do, do do do do.
When they were staring at an awful music video? My only saving grace, knowing the person holding the camera almost always dies, was getting to see this woman die at the end. But I could not stand it and shut it off. Seeing her demise would not be worth the pain and suffering of going through the whole movie.
