SummarySet 20 years after the destruction of civilization, Joel (Pedro Pascal) is hired to smuggle 14-year-old Ellie (Bella Ramsey) out of a quarantine zone in this drama series based on the PlayStation video game of the same name.
Don’t be put off by the mushroom monsters – this is a fully realised human parable, with TLOU evolving into a brutal, passionate, post-apocalyptic western par excellence.
As heartbreakingly faithful as it is riveting and suspenseful, The Last of Us is a triumph that ends any further debate about the all-time best video game adaptation. ... At once familiar and original, action-packed and mournful. Barring some Armageddon-grade calamity, it seems destined to be HBO’s next big blockbuster.
Para um fã dos jogos de The Last of Us como eu, essa série é uma carta de amor, pois a atuação é incrível e a história com pouquíssimas alterações.
As alterações adicionam muito à história, como a origem do Cordyceps, a Origem da Ellie e afins.
Anchored by two outstanding lead performances from Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal, it delivers an enriching show for fans of the PlayStation hit, while also managing to stay welcomingly thrilling to newcomers.
The Last of Us takes up the mantle The Walking Dead set down long before it left the air, picking up where that show left off instead of attempting to trod its well-worn path. ... The Last of Us operates entirely differently, keeping the action centered on Joel and Ellie throughout the main story, and providing side characters with flashback spin-offs. We get to appreciate these side characters, and even become greatly endeared to them, but within the confines of their own story.
“The Last of Us” can lean too hard on action sequences, which emphasizes the uncanny surreality of the infected. But what lies beneath the chaos is the nascent bond between Joel, a rootless man who’s promised to guard Ellie. ... Through Pascal’s and Ramsey’s performances and some strong writing, this dynamic glimmers with emotion and life.
The high production values and the series' ability to pivot its storytelling — the third episode is a lovely and quite moving distraction from the main plot — keep it fresh, even as the show's familiarities and the rudimentary bickering between characters ("you sure do ask a lot of questions!" Joel crankily remarks to Ellie, as he'd rather walk in silence) ring all sorts of bells.
In the end, by stripping out the gameplay from a vivid genre game that’s fleshed out by cinematic and televisual tropes, the series ends up as mostly just the latter: all flesh, no bones.
Acredito que é umas ou a principal, adaptação de um jogo para um filme ou serie.
Eu gosto demais do jogo, e cada episodio, segue a linha do jogo, desde falas ou ambiente.
E mesmo tendo episódios que não contem no jogo, é uma obra de arte.
I’ve mixed feelings on this show. It’s an ok introduction to the series for people who haven’t played the original game. But it has flaws. There’s a lack of infected throughout the series and the vibe of the threating atmosphere of the world is missing from the show. What good is a zombie show without zombies. The clicker and the brute enemies only get featured in a single episode each. The Bill episode while ok, in the context of the overall season was pointless. Why spend an hour featuring a character that isn’t in the series afterwards? What did his romance angle add to the show? Why rob Ellie of the interaction with him (during the car battery segment) that added to her character? Well it’s because Neil Drukman wants to leave the video game space and move into the Hollywood space. So the show suffers because of his personal goals. He’s already confirmed that season 2 will feature more changes, so expect more stuff like this from him in the future.
The cinematography is pretty. That's the only worthwhile thing about it. Like most other modern TV shows, it's a big, beautiful package that's empty when you open it up. If you enjoy watching zombies shamble to epic music, I guess you could get something out of this, but the story is patched together from every zombie show and movie released in the last 20 years (and that's a whole lot of patching that doesn't work once the characters start talking and interrupt the pretty music).
The Last of Us is a Walking Dead TV show and video game hybrid with little new to offer the genre. They might as well have re-named the characters Lee and Clementine. I'm surprised they were never sued over the story, but HBO must have covered all their bases. Unlike Lee and Clementine, these characters aren't very likeable. The main actor is so wooden that it's impossible to connect with him, and although the little girl does a great job acting, she's not able to connect with the lead character either in a way that makes things believable. That's his fault, not hers.
In case you haven't noticed, any big original release from a major streaming service always gets an 80-90 on here. It never fails. Not sure how much they're paying for those, but the user reviews always give away the shows that are paying for their high reviews instead of earning them. If you see an 80-90 on Metacritic with user reviews much, much lower, you can bet it's one their big, beautiful empty boxes. They've invested a whole lot of money for the soundtrack and cinematography but not bothered much with the script.
It's as if someone photocopied the game 1000 times. The acting, casting, pacing, characters, worldbuilding, writing and literally anything that's required in a good piece of fiction is a downgrade in this. The first 2 episodes were inoffensive but a downgrade from the game then it all fell apart. The show focuses far too much on useless characters that don't matter and to add insult to injury the show looks cheaper and the cinematography gets worse each episode.
