Alicia I love this movie so much
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
ladumas-57472 In the scene where the truck driver has a flat the policeman pulled up in a 62 Chevy Belair There wouldn't be a 62 Chevy Belair Probably a leftist propaganda film
sourabhforacio I find it annoying and waste of time. if you like Game of thrones and arrow and something like that please don't watch this stupid thing and thank me later because this thing is slow , meaningless , stupid and annoying.
bbbl67 The original book on which this is based was not what you would call science-fiction, but more like history-fiction. Even though Philip K. Dick is known for science-fiction works, this novel was not science-fiction, but history-fiction. PKD's novel was inspired by a previous novel by Ward Moore called "Bring The Jubilee", which was history-fiction about what would happen if the South won the American Civil War, rather than the North. TMITHC the novel had a novel within a novel called the The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, which was the inspiration for rebellion against the victorious Axis powers, but it wasn't the supernatural newsreels from another universe as it is in this TV series.When PKD wrote this book, in 1962, he set it in 1962, so to him it was set in modern times. The TV series is also set in 1962, but to us, it's a period piece, since it's well over 50 years later! We now have a lot of history that has happened since the novel. So the producers seem to have added some anachronistic touches to it to help distinguish between alternate realities. For example, in the Axis-winning timeline, certain technology is years ahead of schedule, such as Concorde-like supersonic airliners (which they call Rockets), monorails, what appears to be a Comanche-like attack helicopter, many decades ahead of schedule. Yet the automotive technology seems to have stagnated, cars and buses appear firmly rooted in 1940's and 50's design right into the 60's. It is meant to show that the Nazis had very different technological priorities. The TMITHC TV show is a bit more rooted within science-fiction, with a little bit of history-fiction thrown in. These days concepts like time travel and the multiverse are very popular, so they've taken the TV show in that direction. I don't think it's badly done, just not really the same concept as the novel.
mcrodgers2-951-806414 I think after 5 episodes I'd be hooked, at least a little.The plot seems to drag along. There is just scene after scene after scene where nothing much happens or is said that matters to the story. Seems the writers put in a LOT of filler to make this into a series.The characters aren't very interesting. The marshal character seems way over the top and one dimensional and I'm a fan of actor Burn Gorman.So the premise of the story: A film so dangerous to the Nazis that it could change the world. Huh ? Does it have some kind of world turning evidence ? No...just shows what the world would be like if the Nazis had lost in this world where they won.. Okay, how's that going to change the world.? Are Americans in this world suddenly going to realize, "Hey ! We'd be better off if we had won the war !. Who'da thunk it ! " This series itself is a film that shows what it would be like if the Nazis had won, so is it a world changing film ? Not even close.
