“Land of Giants” is a creative mix of the apocalyptic science-fiction, western and martial arts genre.
After the storm reduced our world to ruins, the Giants came to us, to punish those who would ever again lay their hands on the magic called “Electricity”. A long time ago Crutch (Mathis Landwehr) challenged the Giants anger. His destroyed knee won’t let him forget the day, they took everything from him. So he ventured out to hunt and kill them.
I want to note one thing – in the intro where they talk about the “gods” who took away electricity from man, I couldn’t help thinking that they were describing environmentalists.
Oh, and I wouldn’t call the show perfect, since the interminable walking scene is worthy of Roger Corman, the idea of bandits laying in wait in the middle of a barren wasteland is patently ridiculous, and the hero only manages to not get killed because the bad guy decides to do some sadistic monologuing. Aside from that, though, I like the concept – I think it’s got some possibilities.
Maybe they can get Joss Whedon to help patch up the rough spots.
Yes, it has potential. Just let Whedon do it. He could pull off “Land of the Giant Time Tunnels at the Bottom of the Sea.” In color!
While we’re giving stuff to Whedon, can we toss “The Cape” into his lap?
That show had all the ingredients it needed to be awesome, it just needed a better chef to make the souffle rise.
“Six seasons and a movie!”
I agree. I thought I was the only one who watched “The Cape.”
I only catch a few shows online now — mostly stuff that sparks the imagination.
The “environmentalists” might be inside the giant.
A giant stealth robot with some greenpeace pothead at the controls making sure the “little people” don’t use any kind of energy that’s not ‘renewable’.
Of course, the rules they make for others don’t apply to them, so they have no problem hoarding the technology, like giant stealth robots, for themselves.
I hate them already.
Good concept though.
