24 chooses life on a station that cuts over 3 minutes in dialogue for a movie such as Pulp Fiction. As such, there can be no real indication on whether this viper-hyped show about counter-terrorism is indeed in real-time. Except for the glaringly over shot scenes featuring, mentioning or hinting at the time as it ticks away. The first episode started off about five minutes late and the commercial breaks were all wrong, the timing was shot to pieces like a bowl of m&ms after being taken to a mallet in a helmet. The pacing was nice, but the editing was horrendously reminiscent of a late night Dennis Rodman vehicle known briefly as Special Ops Force. So many panels, so little to care about.
Then the insult of insults, it ran and finished ahead of time, achieving a personal best and left the door wide open for Mutant X to be thrown down onto the floor. At first it is easy to see why Mutant X could be misconstrued for X-Men. There is a guy who was bald/is bald and oversees a team that runs around chasing down and helping out other 'gifted' running individuals and there's a place for them, lots of leather, odd abilities and the day moves on.
Having not even read an entire page of Gen13, it kinda feels like that. Or perhaps like the Generation X telemovie that will probably never be seen on Australian free-to-air anytime soon.
They've got to get better than this.
