The shows pacing, acting and directing is good. The scare tactics, intimidation and psychological warfare techniques are spot on. Instead of just appearing out of nowhere and nuking everything in sight, they simply take control of those who have control and power to begin with. It also shows advanced aliens truly acting intelligently. It's all a matter of when and how that balance tips for or against you. Convince or coerce enough people to side with the system, and you're freedoms are gone. Give a regime enough control and at a certain point you simply won't be able to wrench that control back. It also brutally hits home how controllable human beings really are especially with todays technology. It touches on cult worship and religions, whether the right thing to do is to fall in line with your oppressors or resist and risk the possible death of the innocent in the fight. It combines political drama, intrigue, mystery and classical sci-fi themes along with a sprinkling of cop show, detective, revolutinary type elements. So good in fact that I am continuing to watch it even though i know with absolute certainty that it will piss me off in the end. Despite this I decided to stick with COLONY as it is truly exceptional. So a few episodes into Colony I thought I'd pop onto IMDB to write a review only to find out that this brilliantly executed show had been axed.
#Game of thrones beyond the wall cancelled movie#
I wouldn't start reading a book or watching a movie with the knowlege that the book had the last chapter missing or that the movie theatre would turn the projector off with 20 mins of the movie left, so why these companies get away with misleading marketing routinely is beyond me. I strongly believe that such shows should come with a disclaimer. More than that, I hate the way companies like Netflix and Amazon etc market a show with the full knowlege that they are incomplete works. I absolutely hate watching mid story cancelled shows.
