I dunno. Maybe if I had friends that had watched it or something, I would have. I haven't watched any of the spacey sci-fi shows that have come and gone on TV, except the 12 episodes of Firefly because someone told me I had to (they were right).
I liked Star Wars, but outside of that my favourite Sci-fi movies are Blade Runner and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Movies with real themes and a deep meaning, unlike whatever the hell the ending to Mass Effect 3 had. Those were what I would call true art, whereas Mass Effect 3 was attempting to be artsy for the sake of being artsy. I don't know if Hudon and Walters realize just how far they missed the mark by trying to emulate those.
Yeah good point, the only real reason I ever watched it was because my parents are hugs trekkie fans lol, I've watched quite a few spacey sci-fi shows and such because of them. I just don't normally like that sort of thing, Mass Effect was the first spacey thing I truly loved, the first and probably the only to be honest.
I didn't like Star Wars at all, I found it utterly boring lol. I've never seen Blade Runner, I may have seen 2001: A Space Odyssey but I am not certain.
I agree that Hudson and Walters missed the mark entirely though, that ending was not artful at all. It was just dreadful, nothing more to it than that really.
It was the same for me. Mass Effect was really the first such series that I've really grabbed on to, and to see it end like this... I dunno, it kinda hurts.
I honestly believe Hudson and Walters may be holding on to their idea like it's one of those movies. And that in a few years we, the fans, will see their true genius. Because in the case of Blade Runner, this is exactly what happened. Ridley Scott had to splice in a random happy ending when test screening fans were confused and depressed by it's true ending. Though after time passed and the ending was restored, people began to really appreciate the film. The fans spent over 20 years speculating about the true nature of the ending before Ridley Scott came out and told them. In this case, the crazy fans that pieced together a bunch of clues from the movie to make an insane theory... well, they turned out to be right. Sound familiar? lol. I kid, because I don't for a second trust Walters and Hudson to have come up with something so intricate.
But seriously, someone needs to go wake these guys the hell up and explain to them that they haven't made another Blade Runner. This is another Matrix: Revolutions. The one that had fans scoffing at it's awfulness. The one with some BS about a pseudo-scientific sacrifice from the hero which miraculously causes the killer robot ships to just stop attacking. Also having something about a catalyst/architect who always secretly controlled the ominous bad guys, and could never manage to make a lick of sense.
That is what they have on their hands. Another Matrix: Revolutions. The movie that totally destroyed a franchise. The sooner they realize this, the better.
