Apocalypse - Derren Brown

Did anyone watch it? Do you believe it or is it all fake?

*video was removed by copyright*

Personally I can never believe anything this man does.

Derren's most audacious plan yet - to convince one person that the planet has been devastated by a catastrophic meteorite strike, as a lethal infected now roaming the land and he is one of a mere handful of survivors.

Our 'survivor' is someone who takes life for granted, and has yet to truly value what he has. The adventure that awaits him is meticulously crafted to give him the ultimate wake-up call, and teach him valuable life-lessons.

Basically, he selects this guy and starts producing fake radio shows and news posts to convince him the meteor strike will possibly endanger Earth . He then takes this guy in a bus, to an apparently 'Secret Gig', where they have a fake meteor strike scene. He's then put under hypnosis and placed in a studio set of a hospital, where he apparently believes he's lived through the apocalypse and there are zombies outside. Part one aired last night in the UK, if you haven't seen it, you should watch it and tell me what you think. I'm undecided.

 

Bump.

That's what I thought, plus the 'actors' are cringe-worthy and terrible.

it's fake i just can't think or believe it's real.

I'm heading in that direction.

 

I think it's fact just because of the fact it's not realistic. Like when the girl came out the room I would have knocked her the fuck out and got myself a weapon. O when they were running away from the zombie things I would have broken one of her legs and said "survival of the fittest, bitch". That guy just seems too nice...

And people look to you for support...

To put it simply, you cannot know what you'll do in a situation like that until you are living that experience.

I just watched the first episode, and there is some real raw emotion in Steves face.

I don't think I'd have done so if she wasn't infected, which she wasn't. It's human nature to help other people, and the whole point in the experiment is to see if he'll be a bit more selfless.

I agree, that's the only factor that makes me side with it being legitimate. Everything else says no, unfortunately. The actors are bad and the whole thing is just not believable enough to convince me.



Part two is tonight, I'll link it here when it's on youtube so you guise can tell me your thoughts ^_^
