This proposed sci-fi TV pilot has a compelling and curious premise. The idea of future characters traveling back to the present and meeting their doppelgangers is intriguing. It’s a great hook. The pilot features interesting characters that the audience easily comes to care about. There’s a solid, female protagonist, Layna that leads the ensemble cast, along with Future Ben. Both make for intriguing characters.
The pilot is divided into a teaser, several acts, and a tag. The pace works well and the plot remains on task and focused. The scenes feel essential. The opening sets the tone when Future Ben, a back traveler, falls from thin air. It’s a great way to open the pilot. It immediately captures everyone’s attention.
The only concern about the opening is the idea of the marriage proposal. This almost gives the opening a different tone (comedy). It’s a creative choice. Just showing people in the restaurant eating, while the waiters work, and then showing Ben fall from thin air would work just as well.
As the pilot progresses, the mystery intensifies. There’s a solid “A story” regarding the travelers and there are several good subplots that support the main storyline. The murder story creates good mystery. The story with Margaret is emotionally engaging with a powerful twist regarding her mother.
While the concept is engaging, there’s room to build upon these strengths. The main concern about the pilot’s presentation is that the main “goal” for the series is too
The opener really gets the information the author is wanting across to the audience. The effectiveness of the opener is good because it allows readers to understand what the article is written on and to whom it is about. It gains the attention of readers by telling a story of what occurred with a professional baseball player on the Rays team. Most readers would read to see why Rodriguez needed to see a hand specialist, and why he even punched a locker in the first place. The opener really imparts the information about Rodriguez and how he hurt his hand. It tells us what he did, when and where he did it, where he was sent to after the incident occurred, and why the incident happened in the first place.
The characters bring a riveting story to life when reading. Throughout the book, I felt emotions left and right for the characters and what they were going through. There is a lot of mystery and questioning that will be answered later in the book, but once its done, there are still many questions being asked. when I look for a book, that is something that stands out to me because I really want to read more, and when you have that reaction to a book, that means it was worth reading. I found this book remarkable because of the behaviors, characteristics, and decisions that the characters make, and I recommend this book to everyone, even if they don’t like to
I love that the story starts with suspense as to what was happening with Daniel Burnham’s friend, Francis Millet. While reading a book involving history, the reader has a benefit that the characters in the story do not: the reader knows what happens before the characters do.
During his first day in the future, Fry quickly makes friends with his future love interest, the one-eyed alien Turanga Leela, as well as the devious, foul-mouthed bending robot aptly named Bender. Employed by the interplanetary package delivery company Planet Express, the trio venture to many world and always manage to find themselves entangled in futuristic hijinks. The motley characters play off each other's wildly contrasting personalities to create humorous situations. Fry's ineptitude and laziness as well as Bender's brazen thievery and ego often land the crew in trouble, and Leela's well-meant but overbearing meddling tends to make matters worse. Like most sitcoms however, the team somehow always manages to return things to the status quo by the end of the episode. The show is well known for referencing, exploring, and parodying common science fiction tropes and concepts while simultaneously functioning as an work-based sitcom mirroring modern
The card game intercut with the flashback of the hex doll works. It sets the tone and establishes the world. While some tightening of dialogue is suggested, it’s a good start. Moreover, the teaser hooks the audience; both Marie Laveau and Marianne fascinate the audience.
While there strengths to this pilot, overall the pilot would benefit from more development. The areas to discuss include the structure, the pace, clarification, and tension, as well as further character development.
Yet, as of right now, there are a lot of story elements that are lost me. I have no doubt in my mind that hardcore fans of the Wachowski’s previous work, especially ‘Cloud Atlas’, are going to fall in love with this show and the way the stories are told. I didn’t necessarily care for ‘Cloud Atlas’, my feeble mind simply couldn’t understand it. I am curious to see where the show goes from here, I just hope it picks up. I also can’t wait to see the bus driver character played by Aml Ameen explored further, anyone who loves Van Damme that much deserves more customers, screw “Bat
The story starts off with Thomas recalling the night of the accident, this is a good opener it pulls the reader in and peaks their curiosity. It hits the pathos appeal hard because she is pulling us in, to find out what happened to her husband and how it affected her. As we read
The storyline jumps from one storyline to the next and presented in nonchronological order. Tarantino gives us bits and pieces of one story then jumps to another. This style of narrative is unusual. Ultimately, the whole story comes full circle. The opening scene ends where the scene began. We see the conclusion of the robbery and how it connects to the film.
Although the story is well constructed, the author could have further improved it by add components like foreshadowing to give the audience a glimpse of what going to happen to excite them more. Another way of improving the story would be having the story told in third person. The story is told in first person and is incredibly bias as the protagonist is the one telling the story in his point of view and he is also clearly insane. The author could also have used metonymy like lightning to show the protagonist's
The movie opening for our movie is a good opening because it introduces the characters. The characters are Savannah Brooklyn and Davis.

The opening does a good job of establishing Dan’s ordinary world. He’s established as being a loser and he’s pretty unhappy with his life.
Already at the beginning of the story we get to know a lot about the main character what gives you the impression of an introduction.
