A good premise gone terribly wrong. It basically says everything about this TV show.
The very first seconds promised so many good things, great imagery, decent futuristic prediction n’ the easily recognisable Spielberg’s touch fills you up with excitement. But that’ll soon turns into disappointment when you’re introduced to some of the main characters, more specifically when they open their mouths n’ start to interact with each other. The first dialogues, the first action scene n’ the lack of chemistry is a prelude of what’s about to come.
This show has the higher density of equivoques I can remember so far. It raises so many doubts on your mind that in a very early stage you’ll find yourself wondering if you shouldn’t just get up n’ turn the TV OFF. But because hope is something inherent to the human condition you give it few more minutes to improve, n’ then another few minutes n’ so on until the thing finally ends. Pretty soon the regret n’ that time badly spent sensation take over you.
The acting is awful, there isn’t any chemistry at all among the characters, I repeat, there isn’t any chemistry at all. The dialogues make no sense, the acting is awful n’ the direction takes everything everywhere but to Terra Nova.
The plot supposedly evolves around this family that is equal to so many families you’ve seen before... Father/son conflict, husband/wife conflict, “rebel” teenage boy meets girl, perfect intelligent teenage daughter meets boy n’ a child so innocent that a giant pre-historic creatures causes no impression. They bring nothing new but a new level of annoyance n’ boredom n’ the perfect example of that is the mother’s accent.
About giant pre-historic creatures, for a high budget production, it’s just too bad. Spielberg’s first Jurassic Park pre-historic creatures make these look archaic. But it doesn’t end here, there’s a long list of question that’ll flood your mind; so far away in the future with amazing technology n’ we as species are still driving 4WD SUVs; a bunch of dissidents/rebels/faction who supposedly are the good ones are under the command of a relatively young black female “warrior”; a pre-historic giant creature fails to chop someone’s legs after having it between its jaws for what would appear to any human to be an eternity; n’ the list goes on.
