I put a warning up as I have no wish to spoil it for anyone. You will see why I put this up....
First off I stopped watching about 1/2 way through IT WAS THAT GOOD But, there were scenes straight out of Bladerunner as far as I got... childhood memories said in sycn and finish by the "revealer", memories coming forth while seated at a piano, the flying cars (even though it seemed important that you knew they were suspended by a Mag-Lev system) all looked like Spinners with a bonnet on, running and crashing through glass pains, the streets all looked like Blade Runner but a bit stripped down ...infact most of the world just looked like L.A 2019 but a bit stripped down, there are so many more instances that it became like where's Wally? But, a blade Runner version!.
I know that P.K.Dick wrote the story (We'll rememberfor you whole sale)... But it wasn't the story that was upsetting and like a cheap shot at doing Blade Runner, it was the visuals... yes I accept the notion of a retrofit world... and yes their are some things I haven't SEEN (I have read most of those ideas from desent writers)... but I expected to hear Vangelis and to see a short-haired man with a gun and a trench coat run past.
Well that's an hour of my life I won't get back. When will peopele learn if you set your adventure in the near future, in a multicultural urban world with a reluctant and confused protagnist... its got to be good because the mark to reach was set along time ago and this (poor IMHO) effort hardly seems to get off th ground, let alone reach it... and as predicted by many it is unworthy of my further time.
I will now forget it!
