Movie Reviews of Lost: The Complete Seasons 1-5
Movie Review: Don't know where they are going with the Final Season 6, but these 5 Seasons are awesome!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is definately my favorite show from the past decade, just when I thought Network T.V. had become reality T.V., ABC/Disney cranks out this one, there isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said, except to give my viewpoint, what I think makes this show appealing is the characters from all walks of life coming together for a simple cause, to stay alive & hope for rescue, to me characters drive a show to its success, characters have always driven every successful show, if you don't care about the characters, you won't care about the show simply put... now on to the review...
Season 1>>>> is by far the season where you get to know everyone, the mystery surrounding the island was definately original, & in this season we get a glimpse of who everyone is or was, before & after the plane crash, this season really defined the characters like it needed too, we are introduced to Jack(doctor), Kate(running from the law), Sawyer(con man), Hurley(recent lotto winner), Locke(handicapped & down on his luck until now), Sayid(former Iraqi soldier), Michael(single father), Sun & Jinn(married Japenese couple), Boone & Shannon (brother & sister), Claire(pregnant woman), Charlie(rock star), & others who crashed on the other side of the island Michelle(former cop) & Mr.Ecko(former drug runner, now preacher), again all walks of life are here, there is also a smoke monster/presence, polar bears, signal tower, a dead man walking, a hatch underground, a mysterious french woman & many other mysteries
Season 2>>> To me this one is even better than 1, because now we get to the heart of what the island may or may not be, this one centers on the infamous Hatch, which was definately original that apparently has been occupied by many who have to push buttons to keep a series of chain reactions that are not quite made clear until later seasons from happening, Desmond is a new character who gets introduced who is currently overseeing the Hatch, we also meet the others who are not what they appear to be & we meet Ben, who becomes the castaways antagonist in more ways than one
Season 3>>> Despite what many people felt about this one, it was on par with the first two seasons, yes, some unanswered questions got answered, but we found out who the others were, & we got introduced to Juliett who many viewers I think despised at first, but later warmed up to, this season's end finally sees a rescue, but what kind of rescue we all wondered.
Season 4>>> To me, this one was a departure from the mystery angle of the first 3 seasons, this one mainly concentrated on the rescue attempt that we learned had not been in the best interest of the castaways as more mysteries came to light, such as why they were never rescued sooner & how a billionaire had faked the plane crash under water claiming no survivors to the world while at the same time trying to silence anyone & everyone on the island by sending ruthless mercenaries to continue his cover-up, this one was a bit more violent than the previous 3 seasons, & its ending is where this show started to get more complex than ever as Ben is able to make the island disappear by moving it in an attempt to keep it safe, while six of the castaways (Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Sun, & Claire's child) make it to society & are rescued, but later realize that their lives on the island are far from over
Season 5>>> After Ben moves the island, the survivors find themselves moving through time, don't get me wrong, I like time-travel stories just as much as the next guy, but where it fits here, I don't know, Locke, Sawyer, Juliett, Jinn, Faraday, & others find themselves moving through time to 1954 to 2004 to 1974 & so on, Jinn even ends up in 1988 where he meets the younger french woman, this one is by far the most confusing one that can only be resolved in Season 6, we also finally meet Jacob who was so talked about in the previous seasons.
again, there isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said, but this is by far one of the most innovative a creative shows ever made, if you haven't watched it, then you are missing out on some great stuff here!!
