[QUOTE="Hades, post: 886547, member: 2800"] I saw it and was not all that impressed with it. The sets and costume were awesome, the alternate history world seemed airtight, the women are pretty hot (a little old though) but the characters are not very compelling, the plot is irritatingly opaque, and the object of interest in the script (the films) are pretty lame and gay. Some spoilers ahead. Why does Hitler want them? Why does the man in the high castle make and distribute them, only to demand them back via the "Resistance" on the condition nobody watches them and nobody asks or answers questions about their importance? Clearly these films are from "our world" but when are they going to do the big reveal and show something to explain all this shit away like an alternate universe portal? Did the old Japanese guy at the end die? Is the greater message of the series a narcissistic affirmation of the subversive power of art? 7/10 series, great cast and world building, would not bother to rewatch without reading the book.
