The pilot, directed by co--executive producer Jon Favreau ("Iron Man"), poses numerous questions, and to the credit of everyone involved, delivers some surprising payoffs that other shows would hold for weeks, if not seasons.
It's worth giving Revolution a shot for its surprising imagery (wait till you see what's become of the Gateway Arch in an early scene), strong adult characters and fascinating possibilities.
Does that make sense? If not, well, Revolution doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's a lot of fun.
A cool premise can only take a show so far, and there's some work to do on the character front to make the show worthy of using all available technology not to miss.
While this is a lot of plot to deliver in one episode, Revolution manages it efficiently. But still, it doesn't feel very special.
It's not quite so bad that you lose all hope, some of the images and performances are memorable, and it's not inconceivable that future episodes could pique my interest again. But for now I'd put it in the "wait and see" column, without enthusiasm.
On the bright side, no one is in danger of having to watch this inert action show.
