After many terrible shows or some that aren't interesting at all, showbiz brings it all out in the Fallout TV adaptation. Gamers will appreciate all the details and knowledge while new fans will get a chance to dwell into a deep new world, all while creating a captivating story to follow. This is a clear message that people can write great scripts and love the source material at the same time. Most of the casting is great, except small bit-players that doesn't hurt the show's feel or tone. There is a bunch of 'TV awkwardness' that frankly isn't for me but thankfully doesn't come on too often or is in key moments. The show manages to straddle between seriousness and silliness very skillfully while maintaining a very intuiting plot line that gets deeper and more complex with each episode. This season is the hook, can't wait for the next one.

Great visuals and interpretations of the novel's technology. However, movies need more than impressive visuals to be good. Acting throughout the movie is a roller coaster with many ups and downs and is generally average / sub-par. Some of the characters may have been mis-cast: they may be good actors but aren't suited for the roles they depicted in this particular film. There's too much exposition dump that could have been relegated to character's conversation that could have helped with world building and a lot of important subjects unexplained that can leave those unfamiliar with the novel guessing. Some aspects of the film are even down-right silly and don't fit with a serious story such as Dune. If you want to spend a couple of hours admiring stunning visuals, you ought to see it. If you're looking for an excellent movie this isn't the one.
