Uzibonile iintengiso, umbono oqhelekileyo kaMoya oyiNgcwele uMichael, iNgelosi eyintloko, amaphiko akhe ethe saa, ikrele lakhe lilungele ukubulala idemon ezinyaweni zakhe - kodwa yima. Endaweni yomtyholi osemgangathweni, kukho indoda ephethe imipu emibini. Kungenxa yokuba Ulawulo ngumboniso obekwe kwikamva elingekude kangako apho uThixo anyamalale khona, eshiya iingelosi kunye nabantu ukuba babambane ingqumbo yokubulala okanye eyokubulawa.
Kodwa nje kwimeko apho ayonelanga ukukuhendela kuyo Yolawulo Idrama eyintsomi ephefumlelweyo yenkolo, abavelisi bayo bagcwalise isamente ngobuso obubonakalayo ukusuka Imidlalo yeethrone, Buffy Umbulali weVampire kwaye Ngeminazana ithile .
Uchungechunge olutsha lweSyfy lukhulu kakhulu, ludala ibali elixhamlayo kwihlabathi emva kwe-apocalyptic apho uluntu luye lwancitshiswa ngamanani ahlambulukileyo kwaye lwahlakazeka kwimimoya. Kwiminyaka engama-25 eyadlulayo, uThixo wanyamalala, kwaye iNgelosi enkulu uGabriyeli yehlela eMhlabeni kunye nezinja zezulu-iqela eliphantsi leengelosi ezazinabantu ukuba benze umonakalo kwaye bazame ukubulala ithemba lokugqibela loluntu: umsindisi ozelwe ngumama ongatshatanga kwiloli yokumisa phakathi ndawo. Ingelosi ekuphela kwayo eyayihleli noluntu yayiligorha eliyingelosi uMikayeli. Isandi esiqhelekileyo? Kungenxa yokuba i-movie yesenzo ye-2010 Umkhosi Idlala njengomanduleli ukuya Ulawulo . Kodwa ukuphoswa yiloo flick akukho sivumelwano, njengoko umqhubi wenqwelomoya ep engqindilili exesheni nakwimbali yangasemva.
Isingeniso sethu kweli hlabathi le-dystopian, apho uluntu luye lwanyanzeliswa kumtya weenkoloni ezikhuselweyo kakhulu, nguAlex Lannen (uChristopher Egan wobomi obufutshane Kumkani ). Ulijoni laseVega, eyayisakuba yiLas Vegas ngaphambi kokuba ichithwe yimfazwe engengcwele. UAlex uye waphuncuka ngaphandle kwemida yesixeko saseVega ukuze ahlole into elele emhlabeni womntu ongaphaya, kwaye ufumana i-gnarly trio ebonakala ngathi inokwenza Abantu bakaWalMart , kodwa ngenene ziingelosi ezisezantsi eziguqukile. Amehlo abo amnyama, imithambo iyavela, imilomo yawo irhabaxa kwaye ijikile.
Oku kulandelayo Yolawulo ukulandelelana kwamanyathelo okuqala. Kwaye kuyamangalisa, kubandakanya imoto ekhawulezayo yokubaleka ingelosi yokubulala abantu, i-CGI creepers kunye nomthwalo wamandla omlilo. Amanyathelo amabini angaphezulu alandelelanayo aya kudlalwa kamva, kwaye nganye nganye ibonisa ukulwa okumangalisayo kwescreen. Kodwa ezinye zeempembelelo zeCG kunye nezigcawu zezihlwele ziphi Yolawulo Iinjongo zitshintshwe ngokufutshane kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali, zijonga i-hokey kwaye ziyinyani. Sekunjalo, banelisekile. Kwaye uSyfy wayenobuqhetseba bokucwangcisa iphambili yenqaku kwiveki elandelayo Umdlalo weZihlalo zobukhosi usongelwe . Ukuba unqwenela i-saga entsha eneenkqubo ezintsonkothileyo zodidi, ukujongana okuphindiweyo, kunye namarhamncwa amnandi, Ulawulo ihlangula, kunye nenkonzo eninzi yabalandeli.
UAlex ubuyela eVega ekhuselekile noko, kwaye unikwa uhlolo olukhawulezileyo nolukhohlakeleyo ukuqinisekisa ukuba akakhange afumane isivumelwano xa ephumile. Kuba Ulawulo , thabatha into oyaziyo malunga neengelosi uze uzigoqe kwizinto ezithathelwanayo ze-vampires. Ukuthetha ngee-vampire, omnye wabalawuli abaphezulu baseVega udlalwe akekho ngaphandle kwakhe Buffy Umdlali weVampire Slayer Anthony iNtloko. Kude ne-sweet, bookish kunye ne-Britane Giles, apha udlala uSenator David Whele, umguvela oyingozi kunye nommeli waseMelika. Kuyavunywa, kuthatha uhlengahlengiso oluthile ukuze uqhele eso sivakalisi sivakala ngendlela eyothusayo njengoDonald Sutherland.
USyfy uyazi ukuba usatyumza iNtloko, kwaye ke bahlekisa ngesondo kunye nomthunywa wangaphandle u-Arika (Shivani Ghai). Ayisiyiyo kuphela iNtloko kwimowudi yokulukuhla ngobuqhetseba, ukujikeleza amanzi okuhlamba emva koko ukuntywilisela isandla ngokunzulu nangobuchule, sikwafumana ukumhlekisa ekhulula ingubo yakhe. Kwaye, sinikwa isithembiso sikaSyfy sayo nayiphi na into ehamba ze abanokuhamba nayo, ngoncedo lwefoto engezantsi. Kukho indawo yokuhlambela ehlangeneyo yamajoni - kakhulu I-Starship Troopers , nangona kungekho mabele. Kodwa ke, zixhobo Ulawulo ngokuhambisa kwisiqendu sayo sokuqala ngakumbi iesile lendoda kune Imidlalo yeethrone inexesha lonke.
Ukuthetha nge Imidlalo yeethrone , URoxanne McKee, owayedlala isicaka sikaDany / umhlobo / umcebisi ngesondo uDoreah, ufumana ikhaya elitsha njengenkosazana kaVega eyinkosazana, uClaire Reisen. Ngelishwa, ngelixa u-Alex ezala malunga nokubuya kukatata wakhe olahlekileyo, i-bond yakhe enomsindo noMichael (Tom Wisdom), okanye izicwangciso zakhe zokubaleka noClaire kunye nentandane yakhe encinci, uBixby, le nkosazana ayinikwa nto ingako umqhubi. Kakhulu, ubukeka emhle-njengabo bonke abantu basetyhini abakwimboniso, gcina iBixby (umnqamlezo phakathi Iintsizana ’ ICosette kunye Abaphambukeli Newt) kunye neengelosi ezisezantsi. Kodwa kwisenzo sokugqibela somqhubi wenqwelomoya, apho isixeko sihlaselwayo kwaye abathathu bangathi ngokulula bachwechwe phakathi kolo gonyamelo, nguClaire owenza isigqibo esihle sokuhlala kwaye enze nantoni na abanokuyenza ukukhusela ikhaya labo nabantu. Nantsi ithemba lokuba uClaire uya kuba namandla ngakumbi okanye asebenzise iziqendu ezizayo, njengoyise Jikelele ( Kanye Ngamaxesha Alan Dale) unokuxelwa kwangaphambili, kwaye kancinci ukuzala.
Ekugqibeleni, isiqendu somqhubi wenqwelomoya sibonelela ngemithetho emininzi kunye nezinto ezininzi ezingasemva ezinokuba nzima. Kodwa amanqaku aphambili ngala: uGabriel unyusa umkhosi omkhulu weengelosi ezisezantsi neziphezulu ukuze ususe intsalela yoluntu ebusweni bomhlaba. I-Vega lelona koloni lisindileyo eliphambili, ngokuyinxenye kuba iNgelosi enkulu uMichael ihlala kwaye iyanceda ukuyijonga, njengoko ine Guardian -style sika-Alex, umntwana ovela Umkhosi omiselwe ukusindisa umhlaba. UAlex akafuni kukhathazeka kuphela malunga nomlo omkhulu wemifanekiso kolu ngcelele, kodwa kunye nokuzibandakanya kwezopolitiko kukaSenator Whele kunye nonyana wakhe ongumngcatshi uWilliam (uLuka Allen-Gale) oyimpimpi kaGabriel. Kodwa okwangoku, akazazi nenye yezi zinto okwangoku. Ukushiywa ngutata okuphela kwakhe amaziyo, uAlex ujongana nemicimbi yokuthembana. Kwaye ngoku ii-tatoo ezinamakhowudi eziyimfihlakalo eziye zadluliselwa zisuka kuMichael zaya kuDaddy Jeep zaya kuAlex ziyamlumkisa ukuba alumkele abo bakufutshane kuwe! Enkosi ngokunceda kakhulu kwaye akukho ndlela yokudideka, iitattoos zomlingo!
Ngokubanzi, esi siqendu besithembisa. Ngelixa Umkhosi ndafumana ukugculelwa okuninzi, yayiyimovie enombono onomdla kunye ne-bonkers brand of action. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, uthotho lwe-spin-off luyinyani kuzo zombini ngelixa lisandisa umhlaba owamiselweyo. Ndingathanda ukubona abasetyhini abakulo mboniso befumana ngaphezulu kunokubonakala ngathi lixesha elihle. Kodwa njengokuba isiqephu sokuqala besikukubeka umhlaba phantsi, ndiyathemba ukuba lisekhona ithuba lokwenza oko. Ngokomntu, ndijonge ukudibana nokuxoxwe kakhulu kodwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kungabonakali u-Evelyn, umlawuli wekholoni lomntu u-Helena. Okwangoku, asazi nokuba ngubani onokumdlala!
Isiqendu seveki ezayo sibizwa ngokuba yi-Godspeed, kwaye kuyo, ndiyakrokrela ukuba siza kubona uAlex eqhubeka ukuphatha (kakubi) igama lakhe elitsha njengethemba lokugqibela loluntu. Kuya kufuneka afihle iitattoos zakhe ukugcina imfihlelo yesazisi somsindisi, oko kuthetha ukuba akusekho mvumbi weqela kuye. U-Btu ngoku unomhlobo omtsha ekutshintsheni ii-tattoos zomyalezo! Kodwa ngubani olawulayo? Ngaba kungenzeka ukuba uThixo akahambanga?
Okwangoku, unako phinda ujonge umqhubi wenqwelomoya , ngoku esasaza kwiSyfy.
