Genesis (Pilot)/Genesis (Part 2)

Yea, Terra Nova delivers the goods. As a self declared sci-fi nerd, I was very happy with the premiere of Terra Nova. It carries an excellent pace highlighted with some very cool action. With a plethora of characters, the possibilities of storytelling will be enormous. I appreciated the quick resolution to complicated storylines. Sure a leap of faith is very much needed, but they also didn’t dwell on the sticky issues which would bog down the pace. For one example... How Terra Nova Trumps the Butterfly Effect. The CGI was very decent and the camera angles only enhanced the viewing experience.

There were obvious influences from Jurassic Park and in particular Blade Runner for the opening segment. I’ll regard them as tributes. The two hour feature just flew by. Within minutes of the opening credits, the introductions start and the action kicks in.

I’ll be paying attention to this show this fall.
