Mixed Feelings
By suaimhneas15
I just finished Under the Dome last month and was not aware a show was coming out. I think I would have enjoyed the pilot more if the book wasn’t so fresh in my memory. King’s website has a letter from the author regarding his thoughts on the show. He pretty much affirms that the book and show share only a title, some character names, and the town name. He seems to have given his approval. I like the idea that he suggests there will be an alternate ending; something that I don’t think will really spoil the rest of the episodes.However, every character seems to have gotten a major personality, role, and familial relationship overhaul. Some, like Barbie’s, are hard for me to digest. Some seem unnecessary. Some seem like they have occurred because the show isn’t on a cable network, where excessive darkness and gore would be more acceptable.I have learned to believe that adaptations should not always be direct translations, but inspired by the original source. I will probably continue to watch the show, but I certainly hope people do not skip the book.

A Good Beginning
By Juicy J.
I’m a big Stephen King fan, and although I haven’t yet read Under the Dome, the pilot episode makes the television adaptation seem like it might be worth sitting down to watch on Monday nights. The story of course is just being set up in the first episode but has already taken baby steps towards what might (and probably will) happen later on in the series, including the good and the bad characters. The acting is above average, nothing jaw dropping though, and it’ll be interesting to see what happens to the small town atmosphere as the show goes on.The one qualm I have with the show is the somewhat lacking special effects. For example, the bit where the dome comes down and slices the cow in half looks very poorly done, as well as the plane crash. This might be a big turn off for others, but this is just a small one for me, since I would rather have the show focus on the plot and characters than making the most believable effects possible.Others have complained about the show not staying true to the book, and from a quick look at the Wiki article for the book, this seems to be true. But remember that The Shining, one of the most popular King adaptations, strays far from the book, and is considered a great horror film. It is disappointing if a film or series doesn’t try to mimic the source, but there are times when the movie or series takes on a life of its own, in a positive way. It’ll be interesting to keep up with this series and see how it progresses later on.

I would have paid for this Prime content!
By Sandra
As a long time Stephen King fan, I read “Under the Dome” and most of his books. Maybe my imagination is lacking when I read because I was awed by the visual impact of the dome’s slicing and dicing. The cow, the plane, the vehicles impacting, and finally the exploding pacemaker were beyond what I could visualize when I read the book. King’s books are great but the movies can be even more compelling and scary. The Shining’s “Here’s Johnny” scene comes to mind. I look forward to seeing the rest of this ad-free mini-series.
