Imagine a fight between Max and Neo, now that would make for a great movie!!īut despite some similarities here and there, Dark angel isn’t just another replica or dead copy. Our heroine Max makes the same dizzying somersaults and gravity-defying martial-arts movements to outmaneuver her enemies. When looking at the action, one might immediately think of The Matrix. Especially the atmosphere in and around the television show is fantastic! There is more than enough eye-candy to enjoy. The turbulent story will entertain you for more than 20 hours with a wealth of fun-loving plot changes and cool characters running around, although truth be told, the end of Season 1 is slightly unsatisfying. That is pretty much the basic formula of the show. A human of flesh and blood, mind you, but genetically upgraded with unlimited power and stamina. Max wasn’t born, she was bred by a secret branch of the US government as some sort of a super-soldier. No surprises there as Max isn’t human at all! She can jump higher than a professional basketball player and appears to be athletic like some sort of a superhero-acrobat, doing things that are impossible for a normal human being. Her name is Max and she is faster and stronger than anyone she knows. In the midst of all this dark chaos, we find a special young lady with very special abilities.

Good and raw materials are scarce (and if you find them, super-expensive). People are dishonest and dirty and wear old, shabby clothing. In Dark angel the whole world is in ruins and the post-apocalyptic city where this show plays out, seems like some god-forgotten, wretched slum. Forget the self-tying shoes of Back to the Future and imagine more of a dark, dirty city like the one you see in Blade Runner. ![]() In stark contrast to most science-fiction made, Dark angel does not represent a clean and colorful world of flying cars, intelligent killer robots and all kinds of groundbreaking, hocus pocus machines. The greatest feat of Dark angel lies within its looks and the atmosphere built. One thing is still a dead giveaway: Season 1 of Dark angel is a lust for the cinematic eye! But despite the famous people behind it – not the mention the enormous talent – the show ran into some serious trouble and by the time the second season was unleashed onto the public, the show was already more dead than alive. Another reason might be that the main part is played by upcoming glamour girl Jessica Alba who could light up an entire city with just her looks. ![]() A gritty yet gorgeous action show that wasn’t meant to be …Īsking why the television show Dark angel is so interesting, is pretty self-explanatory.įor starters, it was produced by none other than master-director James Cameron.
