Fallout (2024)
Where Did All the Screenwriters Go?
Far and away the best part of this 8-Part series is the first 15 minutes of Episode 1, but as realistic as they attempted to make the nuclear blasts seem, they still got that all wrong. And it was all downhill from there. I kept waiting for an intriguing plotline to develop from the several parallel stories presented, but no such luck. Alot of the set design on the surface had the feel of a low budget Mad Max film, and the scenes inside the vault played like big budget MST3K episode. Walton Goggins provided the only character of any discernable depth, and frankly provided the only dialogue in the whole eight-part series that was worth a damn. The rest of the characters were pretty much idiots. I can see from the other reviews that the series was a somewhat faithful adaptation of the video game, but that just tells me we need to stop using video games as source material for films and TV. 6/10.
