Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Excellent, a Must See
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
This is unpalatable for adults and kids alike. Production quality, editing, cinematography, acting... it's just all bad. What's worse is a black actor being referred to as a "sidekick". That's utterly heartbreaking in this day and age. Make it stop. No one vetted this, and it needs to end up in the waste bin of history.
"Skyward" is an American English-language short film that premiered recently and here we have one of the newest wave of pilot episodes from Amazon that may or may not be turned into a series. The director here is pretty prolific and so are the writers, even if one of them in acting. The cast does not really include any big names, but that really isn't a surprise as this one here is much more about the stories than about individual performances. We have a bunch of kids here who basically acting like mini Ghostbusters with the exception that they are chasing aliens. Add an ounce of Goonies and Scooby Doo and you have a good idea of what this is about. Sadly all the ingredients you take here never result in a successful meal as I did not find it an inspiring or interesting watch. And when they actually do find an alien, things hit rock-bottom. Anyway, there are other core issues, namely the kids being uninteresting for the most part, sometimes even annoying and with many of their dialogues I must say that this is stuff that felt unauthentic and certainly not coming out of a child's mouth, even if you obviously cannot blame the young actors for that. If the quality stays steady on the level we got here in case the show gets picked up, I cannot see any longevity and I don't think I would wanna watch it. This first episode gets a thumbs-down from me. Way to go for everybody involved.
This was so boring my kids started playing with other screens while it was running. The characters are absolutely predictable, borrowed from other shows...which wouldn't be bad if it wasn't so obvious. Special effects were laughable. Honestly, why bother? This show talks down to kids. This is 2017, not 1970. The acting was very poor. Sorry but this isn't going to command repeat viewing. It will come out of the gate slow and then die quickly.
My family had to turn this off. It was truly painful to watch. They tried to steal from stories like ET and The X-Files, and they simply weren't successful. The kids are obviously child over-actors, and not good ones at that. The girl who plays Piper is stiff, and the character of Ira and the actor that plays him are beyond obnoxious. If this is what a "kids' show" looks like, my kids would rather never turn the TV on again.
