| ♥♥♥♥♥ | This so called 'Science Fiction' needs a lot of work. Ok to watch though. |
| Plot:
They thought they were like everyone else... until they woke with incredible abilities. My Review: What's that you hear? "A show based on humans with superpowers?" "Hasn't this been done before?" Well, yes; a new show created by producer and writer Tim Kring sees people all over the world discovering their newfound abilities in their own ways, more like X-Men for the common folk. Course with that being said, the characters are...well...common folk. With several interesting plots that only seem to compare to the 'The 4400' which bares the story of people who are genetically enhanced and sent time-travelling to a specific place in time to alter history, it's fair to say that Heroes does neither of this, or travel in any direction in any shape or form. The show itself has several interesting features that try to distinguish itself from other Sci-Fi orientated shows, with that in mind it plays along the lines of a comic book. It shoots in panoramic, comic book Neo-Dickenson visuals, all the while giving off a false sense of satisfaction. You don't feel hyped or excited by the scene, but a sense of need seems to surround it, a feeling of basic display and no colour; just to pass off a particular story section for the need to get to the next. Hard-pressed sardonic values lace the screen time, with great belligerence that encompasses each episode with it trying to rival hard hitting drama like '24' or the recently successful 'Lost'. The score is unimpressive and feels downtrodden. It seems to play on depression; the characters themselves are not worth invested time as they don't have anything to connect with an audience with. They play on simple domestic, mellow dramatic exertion and struggles, far too two dimensional and that's with a big fat '2'. The overall themes are asinine and very juvenile, some cases it tries to push that boundary but untimely falls back into the skim of things. With that also being said, the show has interesting CGI special effects the never really get the boot to amazing. The episodic structure fills the time with multiple story arcs of various characters; however it becomes a bit misconstrued as you seem to forget where the characters story left off when starting on a following episode. Some powers of the characters seem original, but focus is veered away on the idea on them dealing with a greater individuality and purpose on how they should face that fact that they are different; them adjusting, not on how they are different. The stories are so bleak that they become spread across multiple episodes for filler value and farther spread than tiny amounts of butter on toast. There is nothing to clench, no particular purpose when literally nothing happens in the episodes. True that like most realistic stories; usually nothing happens, but it seems to reinforce that belief further and further. The main problem is hype, or the constant overbearing need this show has to bare its need for audience. There are never enough questions, or any pondering, in fact in some cases you just don't care about "Who killed who?" or "Why did he do that?" Verdict: Colourful, lacks visual beguilement, entertaining pop corn show, with a side order of dementia that you wouldn't mind having after each episode. Enjoy it while it lasts, savour it before it becomes tasteless. 7/10. |
