Resume: 1. Premise is old and used a million times 2. Characters are terrible 3. Dialogue is terrible 4. Acting is terrible 5. Nothing really happens 6. DEI strikes again 7. The 9s and 10s given here are for the most part, artificial reviews to crank up the score.

Developing: 1.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets They Live meets The Last Man on Earth. There's absolutely no originality in this story. If you think this show is "fresh" and "original", i assume your film culture is pretty damn low.

2. A scientist taking her hazmat glove to check a pulse on a dead rat that is being subjected to lab experiments is Idiocracy level of stupidity.

Main character is the typical self centered clumsy karen who thinks she's right all the damn time. Oh and she's traumatized that she "talked herself out of writing her book's hero as a girl", because wink wink didnt you notice, she's lesbian. Oh man who the hell cares that your book character is your lgbtq self insert in 2025? Everyone is doing self inserts in shows!

Kill more people with your tantrums, karen. Makes us hate you and humanity even more.

3. Who wrote these dialogues? There's an underlying issue of individual power vs absence of agency, but all the writers apparenly care for is making us believe that white men are a rare ethnicity and gender on Earth and that all comes down to us (conscious free will driven humans) versus them (the collective socialist hivemind).

What a superficial take on the subject matter...

4.

Karen is basically a class act of overacting. Always shouting, wavering her body too much and trying to sound angry. Not one moment did she spent just mourning her agent and partner. No, every inch of this woman is spite and anger. Onedimensinal as hell. The rest of the characters are shallow and accessories.

5. If you think it through, after the main event where everyone turns into a mindless drones, the plot does not develop much further for most of the episodes. They go from here to there and stuff happens, but nothing truly meaningful to develop key components of the movie or answer any questions. It gives me the impression that this show will follow the same formula as other shows like Lost, Handmaids Tale or From where questions are rarely answered and when they do, they turn into more questions, just to grind on more seasons.

6. Not a fan of complaining about this stuff, but i'm kind tired of seeing these shows that strive to "represent" and be "diverse" constantly failing to represent the same ethnicity like they're now suddenly rare pokemons on Earth. The cast is a perfect shuffle of ethnic diverse groups. The irony is that the showrunners in their diversity virtue signaling ended up portraying the other survivors as mindless cult followers and even the african black guy as a thief and a pervert. Way to go showrunners!

7. It's pretty obvious that IMDB and other sources have been targeted with many highly positive reviews for this show. You can kind of see that most are fake. By the hysterical, hyperbolic language used, just like a "OMG BEST SHOW EVER" and along these lines, to crank up the overall score and bring people into watching the show. Because nowadays that's what counts: views and streams. If 1 or 2 episodes have high views they can sell the idea that another season should be greenlit.

All in all, this show is subpar and not worth the praise it's getting at all.

It's not that the movie is bad, but it certainly doesn't add nothing new to the previous two movies. I think the idea behind prequels and sequels is that you have new information you want to present to the audience. Which makes this prequel seem utterly useless. I don't mind the absence of answer regarding where the monsters come from and why they are here, because that information realistically would be almost impossible for regualr joes to come across in reality. I mean small insights on what the invasion was like and at least more build up until the monsters finally arrive. The only omen is the choppers in the air sequence.

Other than that, the actors did a good job and i liked the tension of the ending sequence.
