It seems that live-action productions based on video games have found themselves in TV series; I think the decision to bring those stories to the small screen works to have a better development of the themes that originate those games and of course their main characters; all that without forgetting the source material to which homage is paid with its numerous fanservice. I believe that what HBO did with "The Last of Us" shows the right path to follow and Amazon Prime Video, takes that example to create a fun, entertaining TV series, with a terrifying theme, based on a famous video game.

Parece que las producciones live-action basadas en videojuegos han encontrado en series para TV; creo que la decisión de llevar esas historias a la pantalla chica, funciona para tener un mejor desarrollo de los temas que originan dichos juegos y por supuesto a sus personajes protagonistas; todo eso sin olvidar al material de origen al cual se rinde homenaje con sus numerosos fanservice. Creo que lo hecho por HBO con "The Last of Us" enseña un camino adecuado a seguir y Amazon Prime Video, toma ese ejemplo para crear una serie de TV divertida, entretenida, con un tema terrorífico, basado en un famoso videojuego.

"Fallout" original production of Amazon Prime Video, based on a video game of the same name which tells the story of a world where the United States has fallen after a mega nuclear attack which forced a group of survivors to take refuge in bunkers called "Vaults"; After 200 years of that traffic event, in "Vault 33" a group of survivors live peacefully, growing as a community, preparing for the perfect moment to go up to the surface, but in the celebration of a special event for them, they are attacked by a group of looters taking weapons, supplements and hostage to the Supervisor of the vault, that makes his daughter, the sweet, innocent and very prepared "Lucy", take the decision to go after his father facing all danger and truth that offers the surface.

Surely this will not be the last time I have to say that I have not played a minute of the game on which this (or any other) TV series is based; this statement can be considered as if I do not have the basis for a review on how faithful or not this production is to the original material, but I think in my case I can say that it is perfect to review what this series offers from the point of view of story development, production and other elements. "Fallout" is a pleasant surprise, a post-apocalyptic story, with a wonderful style to show two facets of a world that is preparing for an inevitable war and at the same time we see the ravages of a war that could not be avoided; mainly that I found fascinating because different moments are taught in a single story, all from the point of view of its protagonists, one will have more time than others to teach their past in order to understand a present that becomes terrifying and little hopeful.


The production is great, the details in each scenography is perfect, from the beginning of this story in the vault, until the moment when one of its protagonists ascends to the surface giving introduction to what is known as "The Wasteland", a desolate world, chaotic, lawless, without future; every moment in that place is perfect for this dystopian story, but what I enjoyed the most was the world before the bombs fall, the one that shows us cities, homes with a lot of influence of the 50's despite the current year is 2077; the costume design, locations and music of those scenes seemed perfect to me, it shows a certain elegance, but also becomes a symbol of a very old time with necessary changes or revolutions, something that is also important in this series.

Seguramente esta no será la última vez que deba decir que no he jugado ni un minuto del juego el cual es basada esta (u otra) serie de TV; está afirmación puede ser considerada como si no tengo la base para realizar una crítica sobre que tan fiel o no es esta producción del material original, pero creo que en mi caso puedo decir que es perfecto para hacer reseña de lo que ofrece está serie desde punto de vista de desarrollo de historia, de producción y demás elementos. "Fallout" es una grata sorpresa, una historia postapocalíptica, con un estilo maravilloso para mostrar dos facetas de un mundo que se prepara para una inevitable guerra y a la vez vemos los estragos de una guerra que no pudo ser evitada; principalmente eso me pareció fascinante porque se enseña diferentes momentos en una sola historia, todo desde el punto de vista de sus protagonistas, uno tendrá más tiempo que otros para enseñar su pasado para así entender un presente que se hace terrorífico y poco esperanzador.


La producción es genial, los detalles en cada escenografía es perfecta, desde el comienzo de esta historia en la bóveda, hasta el momento en que una de sus protagonistas asciende a la superficie dando introducción a lo que se conoce como "The Wasteland", un mundo desolado, caótico, sin ley, sin futuro; cada momento en ese lugar es perfecto para esta historia distópica, pero lo que más disfruté fue el mundo antes de la caída de las bombas, ese que nos muestra ciudades, hogares con mucha influencia de los años 50' a pesar de que el año en curso sea el 2077; el diseño de vestuario, localidades y la música de esas escenas me pareció perfecto, demuestra cierta elegancia, pero también se convierte en un símbolo de una época muy antigua con necesarios cambios o revoluciones, algo que también es importante en esta serie.

The three main characters are formidable, first of all I will refer to "Maximus" played by Aaron Moten; I like his character because he is someone who does not know his position in the world, he believes he has a mission or motivation to be a knight of the "Brotherhood of Steel", possibly that makes him feel like a hero, a protector or an avenger for all that he has lived, but I think that disconnection with the world or that need to belong to something has a backstory that will surely be developed in the following seasons; the other character, great character, is "Lucy MacLean" played by the talented Ella Purnell; possibly the most predictable character of this series, her development is slow, but in the end it seems that it is notorious the direction she should take in this story and that doesn't make her a bad character, she is one more victim and I know she will be very important for the story; finally I must talk about "The Ghoul" played by Walton Goggins; the most interesting character of the season, since this story is told mostly from his point of view, his memories or memories are what opens all panorama to have full notion of what happened and what happens at that moment, the performance of Goggins is excellent.

Los tres protagonistas son formidables, primeramente haré referencia a "Maximus" interpretado por Aaron Moten; su personaje me gusta porque es alguien que no sabe su posición en ese mundo, cree que tiene una misión o motivación de ser un caballero del "Brotherhood of Steel", que posiblemente eso le haga sentir ser un héroe, un protector o un vengador por todo lo que ha vivido, pero creo que esa desconexión con el mundo o esa necesidad de pertenecer a algo tenga una historia de fondo que seguramente será desarrollado en las siguientes temporadas; el otro personaje, gran personaje, es el de "Lucy MacLean" interpretado por la talentosa Ella Purnell; posiblemente el personaje más predecible de esta serie, su desarrollo es lento, pero al final parece que es notorio el rumbo que debe tomar en esta historia y justamente eso no la hace mal personaje, es una víctima más y sé que será muy importante para el relato de la historia; para finalizar debo hablar de "The Ghoul" interpretado por Walton Goggins; el personaje más interesante de la temporada, ya que esta historia está relatada en su mayoría desde su punto de vista, sus recuerdos o memorias son lo que abre todo panorama para tener plena noción de lo que sucedió y lo que sucede en ese instante, la actuación de Goggins es excelente.

The first season of Fallout is very good, I had expectations in the visuals, more than in the story because I had no knowledge of anything about the video game, but in the end I was trapped by the whole story of how a war without any knowledge of who attacked first, affected a large number of people and where what remains are fractions that seem to have as a motive in life the obtaining of power and control over everything, something that may sound silly, but is what we can observe daily in what happens in the real world; this shows the great work in all the people involved in this project because they take what makes the video game notorious and reflect it in a story that makes use of issues such as war, the havoc it leaves, the traumas, but also the use of power, either with weapons or the use of information, propaganda; I was really fascinated with the eight episodes, they have a good use of action, drama, fanservice and comedy; 100% recommended.

La primera temporada de Fallout es muy buena, tenía expectativas en lo visual, más que en la historia porque no tenía conocimiento de nada sobre el videojuego, pero al final quedé atrapado por todo el relato de como una guerra sin ningún conocimiento de quien atacó primero, afectó a un gran número de personas y en dónde lo que queda son fracciones que parece tener como motivo en la vida la obtención del poder y el control sobre todo, algo que puede sonar tonto, pero es lo que podemos observar a diario en lo que sucede en el mundo real; esto demuestra el gran trabajo en todas las personas que están envueltas en este proyecto porque toman lo que hace notorio al videojuego y lo reflejan en una historia que hace uso de temas como la guerra, los estragos que deja, los traumas, pero también el uso del poder, sea con armas o el uso de la información, la propaganda; realmente quedé fascinado con los ocho episodios, tienen un buen uso de la acción, drama, fanservice y la comedia; recomendada en un 100%.

I played "Fallout Shelter" once, are they related?

Well, the series is based on the video game and has many references, but it does not faithfully follow what happens in each of the games.

Likewise if you have played some Fallout, you will surely enjoy the series more when you see each reference; I personally have not played and of course after watching the series I looked for meaning of many things that happen in the series and that are from the game and I thought it was great.

It surprised me a lot, especially with the cinematography. A lot of lenses and styles are quite popular at the moment but I wasn't expecting to see Fallout pursue it too.

avatar

The production is great, the deserted and not very hopeful of what Wasteland is, the excellent CGI of the creatures and as you say, the cinematography is very good; it's a great job they did and hopefully the second season will be the same and even better.

dios mio que ganas tan grandes tengo de ver esta serie. Desde que me entere de su existencia, solo pienso en verla. Estoy planeando comprar prime para verla, hay que pagar algo mas dentro de prime para verla?

avatar

Al pagar tu suscripción puedes ver cualquier contenido que tenga Prime Video.

Espero que pueda verla pronto, es muy divertida y con muy buena historia.

This series looks amazing! You can tell that the setting and costume design plus the set design really helps to transport us to that post-apocalyptic world in a convincing way. I will definitely watch it! ❤️

It is a good job with respect to the details of the exterior scenery, possibly the closed ones are not so showy, but they are not bad either.

The design of the costumes, of the artifacts both in the period before the fall of the bombs and after, I also liked, there is a huge contrast in the behavior of both versions of humanity, something understandable and is one of the best of the series.

I haven't played the games, but I still enjoyed the series.

It has a very good sense of humor, gore scene and yes, possibly Deadpool has opened a door to use that style of comedy, action and gore.

I hope you get to see Fallout soon and it's to your liking.
