I have no idea what the source material for this is. I stopped playing video games at Pacman. But I got enough here to follow the story line. And it seems like a story that would work well for TV. I say "seems like" because I'm no sure. I don't watch TV. I gave up on TV when the writing got so bad I couldn't stand it anymore.
But from my memory of TV this looks like it would fit right in. The action, the writing and the photography all fits perfectly.
Now obviously this was a one-off low budget proof of concept piece. And as such it does its job nicely. Having no previous attachment to the source material I can't say whether the actors fit their characters or not. But Fillion and Lang are top notch actors so they'd certainly both be up to the task.
If this project somehow makes it to the big screen I hope to God that they invest a lot more time and effort in the writing. If they do that, and with a good DP, this could be pretty good. As it is it's just OK.
