Opposing the colony is a group of separatists known as the "Sixers", so-called because they arrived in the "Sixth Pilgrimage," working in concert with corporate industrialists to strip the Cretaceous Earth of its resources and transmit them to 2149, allowing for massive profits at the cost of environmental destruction. The series focuses primarily on police officer James "Jim" Shannon, his wife Elisabeth, and their three children Josh, Maddy, and Zoe, as they join the colony there, named "Terra Nova", Latin for "New Earth" or "New World". When scientists discover a temporal rift permitting (one-way) human transmission, they initiate a series of "pilgrimages" to a parallel "time stream" resembling Earth's Cretaceous Period.
The series is initially set in 2149, when overpopulation and declining air quality threaten all life on Earth. It aired on the Fox Network for one season from September 26 to December 19, 2011. Terra Nova is an American science fiction drama television series. The directors of 65 spoke about how they were trying to recreate the success of Spielberg's works without being too close to them. They probably didn't do the concept in your second paragraph because it would've been too close to Steven Spielberg's Terra Nova. Also not enough T-rexes, as they're barely in the movie at all. It's not a torturous sit by any means but it really isn't nearly as interesting as Adam Driver vs dinosaurs should be. I was pretty much mentally checked out by the second half and thinking about other things. Long scenes of them crawling through bland cave environments felt like an attempt to keep the budget down. I wish the movie wasn't so blue/grey, especially in the 2nd half. Hated the part where she rescues the cute baby dino but then LOL'd hard when the other dinos tore it apart.
The tone was all over the place - the goofy comic relief with the kid and Driver fell totally flat for me and felt like it belonged in a different movie. On one hand I like short movies and this moved fast enough but it also feels like it was whittled down from something more interesting (or maybe boring?) into something super efficient but still not very interesting.ĭriver and the kids were good enough but they didn't have much to work with. It has the weirdest title drop I've seen in a movie in a long time - the whole accompanying text to make sure you know it's Earth feels like it was tacked on a the last minute. You can tell this thing was hacked to pieces in post with a bunch of studio notes. It wasn't awful but it wasn't very good either.
