Review of Falling Skies

Falling Skies (2011–2015)
6/10
Poor Acting, Bad Scripts, Overall Unrealistic
28 March 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Pros: 1) It's an alien invasion movie.

Cons: 1) Acting is really bad. Fake emotions like attempting to be sad/distraught, but failing horribly at it.

2) Unrealistic - large number of humans roaming around, without being found by super aliens who had the technology to build HUGE ships (thousands of times larger than super aircraft carriers) and to come to earth, crossing hundreds, if not thousands or tens of thousands of lightyears. Humans riding motorcycles loudly and not being tracked? Laughable.

3) Scripts are cheesy and totally fake.

Thoughts: This is 2011 folks. The camera work has to be much better than this. Even Star Trek Voyager from 15 years ago did a better job. The camera purposely moves away from certain scenes/shots so that whoever is responsible for special effects doesn't need to do it. Trying to cut a few pennies here and there. Compared to The Walking Dead, this one is a copycat and, really, there is nothing from this show to compare.

I don't usually question things when a good or movie show is running. But when you are asking questions every 5 to 10 mins, something's clearly wrong.
