Skyward (2017)

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

There are so FEW TV shows for 10-year-olds that my grandson keeps watching the same half dozen over and over. We watched Skyward together and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was suspenseful and very and he could see himself doing what those kids were doing. I pre watched it then we watched together. Very entertaining, looking forward to a full series and soon.

This is unpalatable for adults and kids alike. Production quality, editing, cinematography, acting... it's just all bad. What's worse is a black actor being referred to as a "sidekick". That's utterly heartbreaking in this day and age. Make it stop. No one vetted this, and it needs to end up in the waste bin of history.

Character development was great! I loved the ideas for the plot. Amazing story behind it all. I really enjoyed the show. It would be great for young children! I really liked the characters, they portrayed a behavior such that not too much fear is present. He idea of adding a scientific meaning to the story makes it much better.

I'll admit I almost did not watch this "Pilot" Skyward 2017 Episode 1.1. from Amazon, because labelled "Children" TV Series.Got drawn into this during the opening scenes of their First Sighting, then the "Five Years Later" of having their own Radio Station, and Pod Casts.I was really amused by the Bio Mechanical "Spider" Reconnaissance "Drone". Considering I watched many (Too Many) Documentaries about what our (Earth's) Space Programs should do first, as currently the Exploration Satellites with Extremely High Resolution High Definition Video Cameras and Sensors, and Planetary Mechanical "Rovers" like on the Planet Mars.This type of Children's TV Series will seem to interest Children into "Conspiracy Theories", "Alien Abductions", however, by doing so will also interest some Children in Science, Space Flight, S.E.T.I. (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) as a good influence.Please do not inject into future Episodes Politically Correct Nonsense.
