Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

thescookies I'm intrigued! Can't wait to see more! """SPOILER ALERT""""""" I was slightly disappointed about Them being captured so soon. But I'm sure it'll add to the build-up and discovery of the truth about the black smoke. I'm leaning towards a government cover-up about some sort of alien species. It seem to only affect those filed with despair and hopelessness. A.m. curious to find out why she has so far Bern spared. Please continue production! And keep Jonas, I remember this actor from Misfits, love him! I've stated all I had to say about this show. Not sure why there is a ten line minimum. It doesn't take a book to say whether or not you like a show!

bbriddell There were a couple of moments when I thought; hey now the story is starting. Brief sparks, then there was stuff that went on. It's like the writer had a paragraph for this film and then bloated the rest out with fluff.The acting was fine, seemed like there was money put into this. Filming , scenes, locations.The one thing missing was an actual connecting point for the audience that would have resembled a story worth watching. I watched in 20 minute increments as nothing was going on in a story sense and I figured at some point it might pick up. After one hour and 26 minutes I jumped forward eight minutes to watch the ending.If this is the "pilot", then obviously alienating the audience isn't a good way to have future viewers.

DareDevilKid Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 1.5/5 starsOne of the most insipid, lackluster, and soporific horror films of all time - yes it's that bad. Right from the buildup, which was haphazardly presented to the progression of the story, which was monotonously dragged on with little or nothing really happening to the supposedly anticipated, big reveal in the climax, which ended up petering out like a damp squib - just nothing went right for this film.While the cast tires their level best to elevate proceedings, the hackneyed writing by John Harrison and Alex Garcia Lopez's pretentious direction leave absolutely no scope for redemption.

brenjamesuk Just wanted to to say to all those reviewers that keep saying things like 'It's ambiguous,' 'It feels like nothing was resolved,' and 'I'm no wiser at the end as to what the explanation was That's because this is a pilot!!! As the director says:"The thing I had envisioned was quite a long story. The movie that I was pitching them was essentially the beginning of the mythology, and with success we would have the opportunity to do more, so television sounded really exciting to me, given how it has evolved over the past several years — the novelization of television. Also, many of the networks are really getting creatively engaged with genre material, which was not always true in the early 2000s and going back."And:"It's really only the beginning of the story, according to Walls. "'Residue' Season 1 is really an extended pilot and should be thought of that way," she said. "Netflix don't necessarily do the Amazon- style pilot season. But 'Residue' is really more in that model where these first three chapters are live before the existence of a full season."So now you can all stop moaning about it and trying to be clever! And get to supporting it so the rest of the story is resolved - with a full series!http://www.indiewire.com/article/how-to-sell-a-TV-show-to-netflix- 20150401
