The disappoint runs fierce for those of us hoping for something more mature and substantive. I don't understand why a book directed at older, intelligent people is turned into a teenage puff piece. Don't go into this expecting the level of storytelling in Vikings, Game of Thrones, or even The Tudors.

They must be paying people to give this movie any kind of approval at all. Those in ivory towers pontificating on existential meaning and the use of post modern allegory to defend this film are just missing the point,i e: it's a bad movie. From beginning to end, it's just bad. I don't want to argue the technical virtues, for sake of argument, I will affirm some good photography, special effects, and maybe even the art design. But WOW! the movie just made no sense. The was no character identification, just nothing in the story made yo like or sympathize with anyone. There was no clear sense of direction in the story line or even in the editing. The acting was mediocre and lackluster. The characters themselves were paper this and stereotypical. I can't emphasis enough my contempt for this garbage. And please, anyone who brings up 2001, I will throttle you..

I am soooo sick of political messaging in television shows and, unfortunately "The mist" is lousy with them. Personally, I don't need to watch something that pours one political agenda after another all over viewers. i might not mind quite so much if they didn't take such a heavy handed approach to it. But in the first half of the show, they just hammer you with issues like sex education, police brutality, anti- bullying, Gay acceptance, anti-white male, and even anti-football nonsense. I just can't deal with all this type of programming anymore. If you get sick of it too, skip it.... it will save your cranium from exploding.
