Surface

maybe majoriti tak familiar kot citer nih, kecuali yg tengok tv kot, sebab baru-baru ni 8TV ke atau TV3 atau NTV7 ke yg tayang kat tv.. sori aku tak tengok tv laa hehe
aku pun accidently dapat cd citer ni dari adik aku
masa dok kegersangan citer (torrent kene throttled by that damn tmNUT) so aku blasah je la tgk
15 episod je, tapi lamaaaa jugak la amek masa nak abiskan bende nih hehe
bukan tak best.. tapii..

ah baca je la duluk


image dicurik dari wikipedia.org.. hohoo!

ader sapa familiar dengan citer The Abyss tak?
oh The Abyss is one of my favourite movies of all time.
i think it's James Cameron finest work to date, ataupun mmg aku agak fascinated dengan hal-hal berkenaan alam lautan, as opposed as alam angkasaraya yg kita sudah terlalu byk disuapkan oleh Hollywood (Starwars, Star Trek, you name it)
seblom aku terjah redah layan citer ni, mcm biasa, pakcik google dan uncle_wiki sedia membantu.
so ni review dari interpretasi pala hotak aku sendrik..

Synopsis:
citer ni typically pasai sea monsters.
makhluk gergasi ala-ala dinosor yg tetiba jer muncul di 'surface' lautan.
bende alah ni huuuuuuge.. mcm sangat scary dan makan apa saja termasuk makan orang.
tapi yg menariknya bende alah ni survive dalam keadaan sangat panas, panas giler as in magma, dalam sea volcano.

so datang ler 3 orang watak utama;
Dr. Laura Daughtery, (minah yg berlakon Boston Legal) heroine citer nih, marine-biologist yg pada mata aku sangat lawaa dan seksi, dan pada mata audience lain, dia ni sgt genius dan curious, so scientist-like la.. huahh
dia antara org pertama yg discover makhluk nih.
Richard Connely, nak kata hero tak jugak, tapi dia ni mcm mangsa keadaan jer.
tak macho, tader la hensem, tapi dia ikut obses untuk mendedahkan rasia makhluk ni kepada umum lepas adik dia kene bunuh dgn salah sekor daripada makhluk ni depan mata dia.
Miles Barnett, budak kecik yg terjumpa telur makhluk ni, bwk balik umah, lepas tu amek baby makhluk tu yg dah menetas jadik pet dia.
Nim, err.. mkhluk yg Miles bela tu la
kecik2 dia mcm agak cumel la.. mcm ala-ala iguana
tapi klu dia besar.. ishh mcm sgt scary, tapi throughout citer ni, Nim mcm cumel jer la hehe
tapi makhluk ni bukan setakat besar giler babih dan makan orang jer, tapi depa byk la pulak power-power lain.
double scary.

so ada government cover-up, mcm taknak kasik kecoh pasal kewujudan makhluk ni kat public, atas alasan tersendrik, walaupun byk giler kejadian aneh yg berlaku disebabkan makhluk ni dah makin byk dan nak invade daratan supaya sumer jadik mcm lautan.
pastu org jahat dia ala-ala Agent Kim dalam PB, tapi baikkk sket dari Agent Kim la, dan akhirnya dia sendrik pun realize dia jadik mangsa blablablaspoilerkalauakutaipblablabla
tapi the real bad guys is the creatures themselves.. mcm giler scary

Review aku:
seb baik 15 episod jer, sebab bagi aku citer dia agak slow
ataupun aku rasa selow sebab aku tgk aku pause aku tengok aku pause.. hehe
tapi byk giler suspense elements where least unexpected
kira mcm aku dah menguap-menguap tu, tetiba HOH, pastu abisss satu episod.. wahahaha
orait la citer dia sebab sampai kesudah tatau what will happened bila makhluk tu sumer mengganaz
sebab unfortunately citer ni kene hexed, tader dah season 2.

aku dok baca, rating citer ni tader la teruk sangat, tapi tatau apsal NBC hexed citer nih.
siap kuar website www.savesurface.com/, mcm ada petition supaya NBC sambung citer ni kat Season 2
sebab ending Season 1 mcm cliffhanger giler-giler, aku tgk pun mcm hangen la jugak, why tf dorg taknak sambung?

visual effects la pretty impressive, mcm agak byk budget la dorg kuar
tak la cheezy mcm citer Seaquest DSV duluk-duluk (remember that show? i used to obsess about James Brody wahahaha)

characters dia pun believable
tader la mcm ada sorang hero jer out to save the world
masing-masing ada agenda tersendrik dan cara dorg jumpa pun basically circumstantial, tader cheezy romance yg bangang ker apa
cuma dorang ada satu tujuan, untuk expose the truth yg government cuba nak cover-up.

so aku dah sain petition untuk savesurface, sebab bangang punye NBC mmg patut la depa sambung.
giler haper citer mengarut mcm Stargate SG1 pun buleh sampai 10 season, what about this really really good show? mcm rugi ah tak sambung.

Mysteries unsolved (spoilers alert, tapi read them anyways.. wahahaha *dolcipan*)
- tren tu gi Mariana Trench.. aku mcm waahhhh.. bayangkan kat situ human being actually lives there? with those creatures?
- what happens after the tele-tsunami? (ish klu korg tgk tsunami tu mesti mcm trauma.. mcm citer 'Day After Tomorrow' aa
- what will happen to Nim?
- adakah Miles punya mutation akan berterusan sampai dia jadik sejibik mcm makhluk tu?
- baper banyak lagi makhluk mutant yg kompeni tu created?




so saper minat sci-fi, tgk ler tgk lerr
besh la jugak
bagi aku probability NBC nak kasik Season 2 mcm sgt tipis, tapi mana tau kan, bila Heroes masuk Season 2 dah jadik serupa mcm Lost, depa would consider it.

4 bintang.


'Surface' is an expansive drama and undersea adventure that centers on the appearance of mysterious sea creatures in the deep ocean -- and tracks the lives of four characters. They are: Laura Daughtery, the young oceanographer who discovers the secret; Dr. Aleksander Cirko, the government scientist who tries to keep things under wraps; Richard Connelly, the Louisiana insurance salesman who loses his brother in a suspicious diving accident; and Miles Bennett, the young boy who brings one of the creatures ashore.

The mystery ensnares a spectrum of people, including naval officers in the South Antarctic Sea, a family in North Carolina, scientists from the Oceanographic Institute in Monterey, and fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico. The seemingly innocent creatures they find are beautiful, and kids may even want to play with them -- but is there something more to them? One thing’s for sure – they’re full of surprises as viewers embark on this journey to discover what might be lurking in the sea.
