Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGustavo Santaolalla, the music composer for video games The Last of Us (2013) and The Last of Us: Part II (2020), was brought on to compose the series soundtrack.
- GoofsAs with the game, the series' depiction of the cordyceps fungus has some inaccuracies. Overall, the probability of a fungus of this type evolving the need and capability to infect humans is astronomically small. Human brains contain hundreds of thousands of times more neurons compared to an ant brain, and it would be an extraordinarily rapid evolution for cordyceps to gain the ability to infect and take over one. Even if it did, fungal infections are slow, taking a matter of weeks, and nothing like the near-instant transformation depicted; new filaments take some time and energy to produce. All 600 species of Cordyceps which seize control of insect bodies do so to force the host into a humid place where the fungus can feed on the body and spread its spores, so if an evolved cordyceps infected a human and over the course of many days transformed the body into a shambling host, the fungus' end goal would be much the same. Lastly, while insects do gain some level of aggression when infected, they normally do not attack other insects.
- Crazy creditsThe opening titles display a Cordyceps fungus taking on the forms of various landscapes, and finally the forms of Joel and Ellie.
Featured review
I missed them when they were gone...
I'd seen the hype in the headlines about this show. I'm the type to wait for the physical media release (yes, I'm old)... So I avoided spoilers and awaited the 4k release and was not disappointed...
As a film generated from a video game, expectations are usually low - but the headlines said otherwise... Even the special features on the discs show the shot by shot staging of scenes from the game...
They brought this game (that I didn't play) to the screen in full glory - nothing was left to be desired.
And the chemistry between Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal is nothing short of legendary.. When the first season ended - I immediately missed them. Can't wait to see more.
And the cinematography and special effects are spot on...
