'Fallout' Will Premiere Earlier Than Expected
'Fallout' Will Premiere Earlier Than Expected
Prime Video has moved the premiere date for their most anticipated show, Fallout, up by a day.
The new premiere date is set for April 10 at 6 PM PT, moving from April 12. The release format also changes from the original weekly drop to an all-episode drop.
Woohoo!
(Please don’t suck!)
Kind of feels like they are dumping it. Wednesday release and all episodes at once, seems like a strategy for the numbers to look better in the first weekend.
I want this to be good. And I think there's enough variety to the content that they have plenty of creatuve license to take the story and characters where they want to go. It's not like they can fuck it up so bad, like by having Master Chief take off his helmet, or by having Julia kill Vicious, or pick your atrocious adaptation example and put it here.
I was just glad to see Pablo Shreiber’s ass. It was the only 10 seconds of the show I enjoyed.
Master Cheeks, indeed.
It's been a few days since this comment, but I think now that the review embargo has lifted and the premiere has happened, it seemed to be more of a strategy to take advantage of the positive press to build some momentum. They got good feedback at a few screenings at various festivals, and the reviews have now been revealed to be largely positive. So maybe they wanted to shorten the time between reviews being published and for people to actually watch it.
And they also got the news that California has approved some tax breaks for filming season 2 in California, so it sounds like they're probably going to officially greenlight the second season soon.
Seems like reviews are pretty good so far.
Yeah, Rotten Tomatoes 93%.
I'm 2 episodes in and enjoying it, and I know basically nothing about the games. The exposition has been pretty good at showing non-game-players like me roughly what the different groups of people are about.
I'm only two episodes in as well. So far not bad, but still little things that bugs me which are common with almost every show nowadays. Just little details with costume and set design, like barrels of radioactive waste still having bright blue and yellow paint and no rust after 200+ years. Just a sign that they were pretty lazy with set design.
Feels a bit like what a flop would try to do to make as much viewer hours as possible and disappear into nothingness.
I mean, that was my first reaction to them moving the premiere up successive days, in a row. It's very strange. There's gotta be some viewing hour benchmark that they need to hit internally for whatever reason that's prompting this, as the only thing which is releasing in theaters this week that could have any impact of a Friday release would be Civil War.
I wish they took a longer view on ratings. I intend to watch Fallout but I probably won't get to it for a month or more.
Cool I have the 11th off work
