So disappointing. They tried to create a Fifty Shades of Grey in a post apocalyptic world between two people that never had chemistry. I love Michonne, a strong, fearless warrior who is also a loving Mom. Michonne begging Rick the whole time to stay with her was repulsive and out of character. It would have been better to tell Rick that they hadn't given up on him being alive and that the family was awaiting his return. Being the strong woman that she is, she should have left him and returned to her children...her priority. Andrew Lincoln's portrayal of Rick was true to the character. I believe after learning that his family was still alive, it would have reignited his resolve to go home in due time. The criticism is not of the actor's portrayals but of the writing and story. The new characters of Beale, Okafor, Thorpe and Nat were great. Terry O'Quinn was amazing as ever. What a major talent. As for the Thorpe character, I was two sentences behind trying to unravel what she was saying. It was difficult to understand her. Matthew Jeffers who portrays Nat, was a natural. Nat's story and dialogue were credible and well written. The best part of this series is that you get to see that there is still hope for a future of normalcy. Huge well equipped communities, with scientists hard at work trying to figure this all out. I was really looking forward to something in line with the first 7 seasons. After that, TWD took a nosedive. I hope this hasn't really buried it forever.

Beautiful scenery, decent acting, suspenseful plot. The confusion that starts the movie is essential to place the viewer in the characters' states of mind. They can't understand what is happening, but the answer does become crystal clear by the end of the film. Unlike other reviewers comments, you are not left up in the air with no closure. It does resemble Wicker Man in the need for a ritualistic sacrifice, but that is all. The character Neill even asks the wife "who did the Wicker Man call?" when his wife asks him for his phone to try to call her family. The movie overall is entertaining and worth the watch if you are into a thriller.
