6/20/2023 0 Comments Altered carbon reviews![]() ![]() I needed subtitles for most of it so I could understand what people were saying so it does require patience. The future world looks utterly believable even if all the talk of “Sleeves” and “Stacks” gets rather confusing at times. Visually it feels very much like the world of Blade Runner mixed in with The Matrix and may well be one of the most visually stunning TV shows I’ve ever seen. Review: Based on the book of the same name Altered Carbon is a dark and violent cyberpunk tale of a future where we can essentially live forever by transferring our consciousness into other bodies called Sleeves. Bancroft’s request of Kovacs is to solve a murder - Bancroft’s. Kovacs will have to do something for Bancroft, though, if he wants to be resurrected. His mind was imprisoned for centuries until impossibly wealthy businessman Laurens Bancroft offers him the chance to live again. Takeshi Kovacs is the only surviving soldier of a group of elite interstellar warriors who were defeated in an uprising against the new world order. Plot: More than 300 years in the future, society has been transformed by new technology, leading to human bodies being interchangeable and death no longer being permanent. It has some pacing issues but it’s worth your patience. Altered Carbon is one of the most visually stunning TV show’s I’ve ever seen with some brutal action scenes and a badass protagonist in Joel Kinnaman. ![]()
