Glacial paced Imaginative scifi thats not going Anywherewhere
25 February 2023
I also thought, like some other reviewers, that this may be like "For all mankind" showing an alternate possible timeline..However, while that show grabs you from the get go and doesnt let go, this one wows with a stunning and imaginative set design and cinematography, yet the story itself seems to plod along and really does not go anywhere, at least in the 1st 3 episodes...I doubt I could give spoilers becuase theres no real events going on To spoil!..is it a total scam thats about fleecing people out of their money or are they Really offering time shares on the moon? Well, the tech, albeit a strange blend of prehistoric retro and yet they Do seem to have mastered antigravity...That tech would easily allow travel to the moon so the story has set the grounds for it being Possible..What I didnt like is 3 episodes in and not once being show life On the moon except in black and white commercials...Here is something that makes No sense in the show... they obviously Have antigravity yet they show an old style rocket spewing flames as the means to getting to the moon.. what gives there? Why would you use old prehistoric rockets to do space travel when you have antigravity? Another thing that seemed so contradictory was Billy Cudrup talking in the car to the young man he recruited..The young fellow was unhappy with his earth life and fantasized that living on the moon would be "The change" he needed to live a different life... Billy says to him, more or less, that " living on the moon is no different than being here, you cant escape ur problems and worries, you will take them with you..Yet billy later in that same show, is marketing his timeshares as a way to "change ur life by moving there" he's either a blatant hypocryte or a liar who is conning people when he Knows better.. anyway, an Initially interesting storyline with gorgeous and imaginative visuals, but it Needs to Move Beyond the main characters doing sales pitches as it will grow old , quick if it leads nowhere...If you are selling time shares on the moon, you need to show that scenerio in the storyline and not just Talk about it.
