Last Resort (I) (2012–2013)
6/10
Saturday Matinée Stuff
17 November 2012
I watched season one and had to say that it was fairly enjoyable. OK, a lot of the scenes are a bit unbelievable, and some of the acting was laughable, but on the whole it was enjoyable and entertaining to watch. A little "Matinee like" in nature. Kids might like it.

The action scenes are enjoyable and realistic, but alas, they are few and far between. What you get is a few action scenes, followed by the usual dialogue of o.m.g. what will happen next? Will we be attacked by the Government Again? What action shall we take next?

Definitely worth a look if you are stuck for something to watch, but otherwise there are lots better series to watch and if you enjoy a roller coaster ride from start to finish, keeping you on the edge of our seat then look elsewhere.

OK But Not Brilliant - Worth a Look
17 November 2012
SCI/FI Drama could best describe this Soap Opera Style Drama Series, but for SCI/FI fans, you would be better off watching something else. The whole series is based upon a group of humans fleeing from an alien invasion but scenes containing the actual aliens and few and far between. Alien scenes are scarce and what you see is a few spider like aliens called Skinners and a few Robot Type aliens called Mechs which look like a scene from Robocop. A third alien type makes an appearance at the end of season one and they look more humanoid in appearance, similar to the alien which appears at the end of "Close Encounters of The Third Kind". If you like a lot of action, lots of blood and a high body count then this series will disappoint. There is hardly any action and most of the episodes evolve around the humans base camp with a lot of very boring dialogue. A few aliens get killed along the way, along with a few humans. You never actually get to find out why the aliens have invaded Earth, and each episode is very similar i.e. aliens are coming, lets move everyone to a new base somewhere else. Thats basically it. I was really disappointed by the whole series, and my final thoughts are it could of been so much better. Kind of reminds me of a "B" Grade Sci Fi movies but without the action or scariness.
