Could Have Been 10, But Lacking Deep Dialogues
3 February 2018
This movie is hands down the most breathtakingly beautiful show out in the market. The show reminds me of the newer Bladerunner movie, and the atmosphere is similar also. And this is not a critique but a compliment. The genre is critically lacking in the industry in my opinion.

Yet the movie lacks a deep dialogue. I realized that I was hyper-enganged with the show because of the world-building aspect of every scene. I was curious what this new world I am exposed to and how humanity panned out a millennia down the line. There were philosophical bits here and there, but the dialogue themselves were rather dry and cliched.

This is due to the flaw in the writing method: instead of leaving a trail of breadcrumbs easy enough for the audience to follow and have the characters engage each other like no explaining is left to be said, they dedicate too much line to world-building.

If you can look past the dialogues, boy... you will LOVE this show.
