Review of IO (2019) by Humanwritescode — 28 Jan 2019
I really wish Netflix would employ some decent writers for their sci-fi ventures. This was really hacky and, even worse, belaboured. Characters that you don't care about in a world that doesn't bear any relationship to something that matters (i.
E reality)... it's pretty disappointing. I understand why companies don't invest in new sci-fi IPs - they have high production costs and demand more of their audience than the average swill Hollywood churns out.
That said, if you invest in good sci-fi writing, you get the Alien series, the Terminator series, the Star Wars series (okay, it's space fantasy NOT sci-fi but it falls into the same funding pool), etc.
etc. I mean I LOVE the fact that this ISN'T a reboot but I HATE the fact that this isn't worth rebooting.
