Altered Carbon

[Lencho01]

There's another video posted called, Altered Carbon | Yo Soy Ortega [HD] | Netflix but it can't be posted here due to language. Has some new scenes in it.

I finally watched the trailer because I saw a commercial for it on TV. Looks like it could be cool, but it also looks like an expensive CW show...

How so?

 

[Man in the Suit]

How so?

Just the way the trailer presented the action. The guy punching the bricks looks like something from Arrow or The Flash. For a better comparison, I'd say I was expecting more of a Blade Runner cyberpunk thing but I'm getting Almost Human instead.

Replicants in Blade Runner can punch through metal and walls.

But it doesn't look like a CW show when they do it.

Maybe the show will be better but that's the vibes I'm getting from the trailer.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Are we talking about the original Blade Runner? Because (and it's largely due to the time when it was made) the action sequences honestly look pretty cheesy there.

choreography and cinematography already looks better than most comic-based shows.

Agreed.

I never even heard of this until a few days ago, but I'm finishing with my winter semester and I wanna enjoy the first weekend of February bingeing this.

I hope to binge this after work on saturday afternoon and finish before work on Monday morning

Altered Carbon Is Solid Cyberpunk, But It's Not Netflix's Game of Thrones

 

[Marvolo]

That's a dumb comparison anyways.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Well, that's it. I'm out. I was expecting dragons and ice zombies in a futuristic Blade Runner setting.

I think you guys are taking the comparison too literal. OF course it wasn't meant to be GoT on Netflix. I guess some thought it was going to be Netflix's "killer app" or whatever the term is similar to how GoT is for HBO right now.

Now if you wanna say that is silly, then I kinda agree for a multitude of reasons

There is a lot of violence, graphic sex, and full-frontal nudity in Altered Carbon, with women bearing the brunt of the exploitation and abuse.

Actually sounds a lot like Got

 

[Teelie]

Sounds like it has more than a touch of Ghost In The Shell going on there too.

I know, I was really just kidding. But Netflix already has a number of shows that rival GoT at least in terms of popularity so I don't know why this one needs to surpass them all.

I'm just ready for something different after burning out binging all the Marvel stuff. I think this will do nicely. It doesn't have to blow my mind or anything, just entertain me.

Yeah I dont get that either. I'd say Stranger Things is already about there.

Damn I forgot this was coming out today. I'll definitely check it out.

 

[squeekness]

I might wait until Sunday so I can binge a few episodes at once.

 

[gohei_]

I've seen 3 episodes so far. Really liking it.

 

[Dr Lee]

Binged the whole show.... Man... that was a good watch... and not just for the copious amounts of hot naked women.

Will wait a few days to say anything more to not spoil anyone

 

[squeekness]

Good to know (minus the women, lol. I'd be more entertained by Joel's naked buns)
