Well, that was surprisingly decent I guess.

Of course, it's full CG but frankly, I've seen way worse than that. Definitely not Berserk or Ex-Arm level of bad which some people like to throw these 2 around every time full CG is involved whatever the level of CG quality. It's mostly the artstyle mixed with that CG that can be a bit of a turnoff but I'm already starting to get used to it. The story itself is pretty intriguing so far.

I mean it’s alright but the concept of the series was interesting so let’s see what happens

The idea of the story pulls me in, so I'm curious to see what'll happen for the rest of this.

But the biggest issue is using CGI but it feels like 30 FPS. Maybe that's just me. Off-putting.
But the choice of art style is nice, def different.

Edit: the characters look like new-age Tim Burton

i get that the error was caused by the flare but man
i was expecting it to had a permament damage so when they reprinted nina, she would have turned into a monster too
for 'smart' people they dint even check if the printer was damage

Too much video games. Movies usually have 24 fps and that's what everyone is used to, not 60fps like your games. Hand drawn animation needs much less to look fluid. CGI needs more, this has lower fps like Spider-man spiderverse.

Not so bad I have seen worse.
Dont mind the CGI so much but I can see this falling apart story wise.

I see what you mean, I just find that the framerate is more obvious and hard to follow when it's 3D animation

It was alright. I had fun laughing and looking at the character designs. Looks like the main character is not showing up yet. Nina getting killed was not something I expected... It was pretty gruesome

I hate Patty,her logic is beyond flawed, never should've been put on such a mission. She'll sacrifice the entire crew for one individual because of her trash principals.

Holy Expositional dialogue batman. Also the framerate makes my head hurt occasionally, but it's an intriguing enough story. Not something to prioritize, but not something you'll regret picking up if you're looking for a next watch.

that was good. very interesting intro episode

it's not just "sci fi" but also suspense/drama and quite the strong moral/philosophical dilemma aspect to it

i'm guessing the dead lady was the medical doctor. did NOT see her death coming. definitely curious to see how it plays out. hope it doesn't turn lame at some point

8/10 first episode

you're overreacting and completely mischaracterizing what actually happened. patty didn't try to sacrifice anyone. nor did she suggest it was fine to allow a man-killing creature to be loose on the ship. she literally agreed to euthanize lewis after a very brief conversation with the rest of the crew. besides all that, the doctor had told the crew lewis' brain waves were consistent with him being in a coma. nobody knew he would wake up like that.

and to be fair, one can definitely argue that the lewis-creature didn't even do anything wrong. all it knew was that as it was waking up it was being injected/stabbed in the arm. killing the doctor was self defense/preservation. plain and simple. it's not like lewis killed any other crew members even though he had the chance. he lunged at mack but mack was admittedly "hunting" lewis at the time; so another instance of self defense

i had thought it did a decent job at showing how taking a life - no matter the circumstance - isn't necessarily an easy choice, and that maybe sometimes there is no "right" answer. i thought this episode was about making the view "think". about morality, ethics, life itself. i mean, they even asked each other about "souls" at one point

Stumbled across this series when browsing Netflix today during a lag in new Winter '23 stuff. Don't know anything about it, so it's a dry run and I won't read any reviews until I'm finished with each episode.

I really like the music, super atmospheric, almost like a viscous liquid gently sloshing around.

The CG isn't awfully distracting, so that's good. Storytelling moves along, I get wassup at the end of the introductory episode. 

Twist my arm I'll watch the rest of it!

Putting aside the weird visuals, the main problem here is how foolish the people they apparently chose to reprint are.

Why would you put a vehement pro-lifer on a team of printed copies on a mission to terraform a planet? Why wouldn't you restrain the bestial printing mistake before attempting to euthanize it?

Just bizarre behavior that you would expect from random civilians rather than hand-picked specialists.

She's the botanist pro life so I guess it's fine lol, and she still agree to it after like 1min so not the point + the monster was in a coma and not suppose to be conscious.

For me the most stupid thing is they don't have the right to print weapons. What kind of colonizers don't have the right to use weapons in an unknown territory ?!
Also, what is a weapon ? you can kill someone with anything, may it a car or anything blunt or sharp.

Have you ever heard of the murder with a frozen leg of lamb out of the freezer ? she killed her husband in a fit of rage in the kitchen by hitting him in the head with a frozen piece of meat, then she just made a dinner out of the murder weapon to erase the evidence. You can just print some tool and use it as a weapon, a drill or anything.
