Pompeii: Out of Time with Tom Hiddleston review. Don't come at me, I am a fan, but here are my honest thoughts about it.
It was cringe. Not the actual stories of those three people, but the parts with Tom and all the scientists. He was constantly in a rush, like he's actually running out of time in the present which seemed a bit overacted. Also I get the empathy is important, but he's overdone it. By trying to seem more genuine he seemed more histrionic. This show would've been much better if they stuck to Tom doing the introduction with his 1998 backstory and why it's important for him, voiceover and narration, and the epilogue with his final thoughts. Instead, it felt like he was constantly interrupting the actual story.
P. S. He's so good in the interviews and marketing videos for this. His reactions and the way of speaking feel more authentic compared to his acting in the documentary itself.
P. P. S. Still loved it!
