[NETFLIX] ALTERED CARBON - REVIEW

If you subscribe to Netflix, you will realize Altered Carbon is stated as a new release and also in the trending category. DO NOT SKIP THIS SERIES, I repeat do not skip this series! This is a sci-fi series that talks about the future where the body you have is called a sleeve and you can transfer your conscious around, and if you are rich, you never have to die, you can replicate your sleeves for centuries.

THE GOOD

The production value in this series is absolutely crazy, you can see the production sets and also the attires that the characters use in the movie. Aside from that, the weapons are futuristic as hell and also the houses of the absolutely rich are clearly something that most of the money for production went to. The story was pretty elaborate, it is straightforward, full of action-packed sequence and the fighting sequence is well choreographed. The series takes it times to ensure that most of the important thing is expanded in the movie thus viewers will not feel lost, as the series progress, you will certainly be very well versed on what on the terms in the series as it progress pass episode 4. Cinematography in this movie really makes it a pleasing feel to watch as it ensures that you will not feel confused as they move from different scenes 

THE BAD

The series did feel too short, it is total of 10 episodes altogether, what I read was they will be making Season 2 (still no confirmations as of now). There is still some part where the movie feels draggy, that is because there are lots of jumping sequence into the Virtual Reality (VR) which sometimes can throw you off the story because there are tons of back and forth. They should also explore more about the torture in VR, which seems very interesting of the capabilities they can do in there. Other than that, I wish they actually do a prequel to this series, all we get is a quick history on how sleeves and chips are created, a storyline on the research and also ideas that it came about is fine. 

CONCLUSION

If you enjoy Bladerunner 2049, and also sci-fi movies/drama, you should not miss this series. I ensure you that this series will be an eye candy for you couple with a good storyline, you will definitely be entertained.
