Apocalipse V

Ok, so the acting's a bit cheesy and the storyline is somewhat predictable but the effects and gore ain't too bad. Worth watching a few to see how it pans out.

I tried, but too many times normal standard protocols from 20 years ago are not followed.

1. Law enforcement heading to a known shootout and none of them have vests on. My local town cop wears his vest off-duty at a Pizza Hut.

2. Multi-million dollar technology, equipment and surveillance yet after finding someone via satellite from across the country somehow there are no cameras in main building, no doors locked in classified room/building and only one guard watching. I can't even get into the supply closet at work, yet here we walk/sneak in and out of militarily-controlled facilities.

3. Main actor never seems convincing, especially as a brain surgeon(remember Denise Richards as nuclear physicist in the Bond movie?).

4. Coincidences galore. Somehow in middle of forests, random alleys, or strange towns someone will pop up to save the day. That's okay a couple of times, it happens about three or more times per episode. There is zero tension.

5. Lights....very little of it. Houses, buildings, alleys....have little or no lights. People constantly walking into rooms and not turning on the lights. Regardless of stupidity, no one especially with events happening, would wander around a room in the dark. Even the military faciltity had what appeared to be 20-watt bulbs.

6. The subplots are numerous, boring and do not add to story. Definitely overuse of manufactured drama.

First I like the cast and the acting. As far as the story i like it. its a new take on the whole Vampire virus thing. Its graphic its gruesome and its worth some time.

I've seen better, but i've seen ahell of a lot worse. You get to know the characters quite quickly, also feel a certain empathy towards them. The acting isn't terrible, and the script is fine. Think the bad reviewers maybe have a vested interest in slating this for some strange reason

As a Virologist, I have always found the concept for the cause of vampirism been a virus to be quite innovative & not outside the realms of possibility.

With that in mind, I found V Wars quite interesting. The polar regions are vastly unexplored territories so we don't know what lies breath them. So, the beginning of Episode 1, where the Prion existence for causing a virus infecting people with a disease that turns them into vampires is a great way to start a plot, that can offer many different angles for which the story can go.

While the plot turns out to not be as strong as I first envisioned after Episode 1, the ensuing episodes do makes an interesting story of humans ingenuity to combat the virus in every shape or from.

I found V Wars very entertaining. The characters could have been individually explored in greater detail, so as not to become mere caricatures of the actual plot. But the story is enjoyable enough to provide solid entertainment. The episodes do flow well with interesting stories.

I hope there is a season 2 so that the plot & story can be further developed.
