Revolution is an American post-apocalyptic, dystopian, dramatic television series created by Eric Kripke for the NBC network. It debuted on September 17, 2012 and airs on Mondays at 10:00 pm (ET).[1] The network placed a series order in May 2012.[2] Film director Jon Favreau directed the pilot episode. The pilot episode was viewable on Hulu[3] and NBC.com,[4] prior to the series' broadcast premiere.

Setting:

Revolution takes place in a post-apocalyptic future. Fifteen years earlier, an unknown phenomenon disabled all advanced technology on the planet, ranging from computers and electronics to car engines, jet engines, and batteries. People were forced to adapt to a world without technology. Due to the collapse of public order, many areas are ruled by warlords and militias. The series focuses on the Matheson family, who possess a special device (resembling a flash drive) that is the key to not only finding out what happened fifteen years ago, but also a possible way to reverse its effects. However, they must elude various enemy groups who want to possess that power for themselves.

Para syang pinagsamang "The Postman" iyong movie ni Kevin Costner and iyong videogames na "The Last of Us". Tapos ginawang bida ay isang teenage girl parang "The Hunger Games" movie para mahikayat din manood ang mga teenagers/girls.

So far okay sya, maganda pagkakagawa. Highly recommended! :agree:

My only problem with the series. After 15 years without machine working, people are still wearing fashionable clothes. Just wondering where they got all those perfectly sewn clothing. :shock:

I know they can make clothes by hand. Pero lahat ng tao nakikita ko, yung damit nila parang gawa sa machine. Kahit yung mga extras na taga militia, sobrang maayos ang damit. To create fabric without a using a machine is laborious process. And to dye the fabric is another thing to consider before we go into making clothes.

This might be a small thing but it bothers because having the a heroine with good and body hugging clothes doesn't make the scenario believable. If the end of days comes, survival takes priority before making yourself look good. And after 15 years, most ready to wear clothes are probably depleted by then.

Most people should be wearing tattered clothes or at the very least repaired clothes. The book of eli is a perfect example of how people should look at this series.

...baka yung militian may pagawaan ng damit gamit ang electricity hehehe. diba yung leader(na friend ni miles) naglagay pa ng yelo sa wine nya? sa book of eli kasi diba pasira na yung mundo dun(polution at drought i think)? dito parang naging paradise naman kaya siguro di ganun ka grabe ang pamumuhay ng tao. kahit naman panahon ng new testament may mga mayayaman na sobra mamahalin ng damit.

Hindi naman ganon katagal iyong 15 yrs. Malay natin gamit nila sewing machine na di padyak.

Ang hindi lang ako makapaniwala bakit ang mga tao sumasali sa militia. Bakit hindi nila rebuilt iyong USA ulit. Unless iyong mga sundalo nagtayo na ng sariling government at naging militia na. Usually ang may authority iyong general, at hindi iyong mokong na leader nila ngayon. Ayon talaga ang impossible sa story na eto. Kung walang general then iyong coronel na iyong next in command.

I had a feeling hindi ito magtatagal. maganda yung story pero may kulang sa mga actors/actress. Hindi ganun kagaling yung pag arte nila which is most cause ng hindi natatapos na tv series like terranova. They have to do something with acting or sana ginalingan yung paghanap ng cast before nagstart. IMO lang :p

I know there are simple sewing machine that doesn't use electricity. But still fabric to create clothes is an issue. The mere fact that the cast are wearing perfect looking and fashionable clothes bugs me.

They just flex their muscle to conscript more people. Either you join us or you die. It's a simple matter. Obviously, alot of people who are forced to join, would want to escape. But I think people stay because the militia provides. Whether its food, security, living quarters and etc.
