Review of Fallout

Fallout (2024– )
4/10
Dystopia for fourteen-year-olds.
17 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I am not a fan of this video game or any other. This is a dystopian fantasy series and I am a sci-fi consumer. To analyze it from the perspective of the minimum necessary to interest an adult audience is pointless. This is a product for uncritical spirits.

There is a lot of blood but the action scenes are poorly choreographed, with no sense of pacing or continuity. It's all just a bunch of gags about exploding heads, shattered legs and explosive gunfire but lacking in narrative.

The director (sorry, Jonathan) has no sense of story flow and splashes fades to black here and there because the script is full of holes and the stories don't string together.

The plot wanders between supposed comedy and bloody space thriller without deciding on either option.

The premise of the young girl leaving the shelter to find her father who has been kidnapped is as absurd as the very fact that head-busting Neanderthals have kidnapped her father.

A disappointing failure for adults who love speculative fiction, science fiction and dystopias.
