The Last of Us (2023)
Respectful to the Original Game and Fans
I have just finished the first episode but I am very pleased with what I have seen so far. I will continue to watch. At the moment, everything I have seen in the first eps is very close to what I remember from playing the game many years ago. The acting is great, the story is on point, and everything else fits so well. I really hope HBO doesn't do what other shows have done and intereject their own bias and opinions to fit the narrative of an exisiting story to meet some arbitrary need to change it for the sake of change. However, the show isn't a 1:1, and there have been some minor changes in the story but they aren't that big an issue due to their great writing and accurate story telling.
Salvage Marines (2022)
Solid story. Wish is had hollywood money.
Honestly, this story is pretty cool. The shows biggest draw back is production. While it does amazing things with what they got, production wise it's on par with some quality YouTube content. Where this story shines is the characters, and the background history. Each character is familiar to other stories so it's easy to fall into the cast, but the main character has enough reason and flaws to ground you in emotion and purpose. Acting obviously could be better, but still good for what it is. Overall there are top level movies and shows that have so much more to work with and fall much shorter than Salvage Marines. Major bonus so far is that I haven't seen any cringe tweerking.
