Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

billingwizard The idea is good but let down by very wooden acting and an appallingly poor script

bitomurder The main problem with Terra Nova is that it had so much potential that was never realized. The show, which was quite an expensive production for network TV, needed to have amazing ratings to keep the episodes coming and sadly it never achieved those ratings and was cancelled very early on in its initial run. The show had other problems and was never able to arrive at a great high quality level, but it showed such promise towards the end of its season. When the last episode finally ends you wish there will be a second season to answer all of the new mysteries that are revealed in the final minutes of the Resistance, but sadly there is no more Terra Nova to be had. Overall, the performances were adequate with Stephan Lang's portrayal of Colonel Taylor probably being the best of the bunch. The stories could have had some better writing, but the plot, setting, and universe that they create is compelling and intriguing. The special effects are high quality for television and their sets are magnificent. Had the show continued, I would have been there to see how it all unfolded for at least another season, but as it stands here, Terra Nova is relegated to dwelling in its mediocrity and could-have-beens.

gretel_au I'm really enjoying the first series - special effects are good, acting is good, concept is interesting and relevant. I was pleased to read it was filmed south of Brisbane.The only real spoiler for me is to see tropical fruits, especially Dragonfruit, hanging out of trees so obviously tied there. Really? The real plant that produces this fruit, a cactus vine, would have been more interesting to look at. A small thing in the scheme of things but annoying when I see it.

charmainemorgan Reading other comments it seems increasingly difficult to please critics. Fortunately i watched this series on Netflix before reading any comments. The entire concept of going back in time requires a stretch of the imagination and raises a host of questions. Great special effects and the odd twist and turn are thrown into this action adventure movie as people from a bleak future fight dinosaurs and others who threaten them in the past. After 13 episodes i was left wanting to see more.
