    Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

    Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

    Because trying to make sense of this dreadful, over-hyped, under written piece of frelling dren has actually make me dumberer.The premise was: humans clinging to the edge in a world of dinosaurs.The actuality is: Look out! It's another Fantasysaurus Bulletproofus! Our guns, they do nothing! Again! A Pseudo-Science solution is required. Huzzah for Pseudo-Science! Again!No sense of frontier survival. Huge clean glazed and painted houses with waxed flooring, vast wardrobes of clean clothes, clean bedding, clean hair. Hard work is occasionally mentioned but rarely seen. Who built this colony? It's certainly not the mob of spineless, idle loafers currently inhabiting it.Far too much tedious politics and plot. Why did a group of settlers split off and how did they survive? Is Terra Nova in a different time stream from 2149 or not? Who made the strange rock markings? SPOILER: You won't care. You really, truly won't, because you have no reason to care about any of the idiotic, posturing plonkers involved."Teen" tribulations played out by the usual superannuated mob of 20-somethings desperately clinging to their lost youth. The love interests for both of our irksome teen protagonists are played by actors about seven years older than them - and they looks it - which is well into creepy territory.Mediocre to poor acting. Most of the supporting cast is tolerable enough, but Shelly Conn is simply dreadful, far too focused on ee-nun-cee-aye-ting her plummy drawl to actually put any character into the performance.Lazy, plagiaristic writing. Plots and whole lines are simply ripped off wholesale from other, better productions. It's no surprise that the dreadful Brannon Brago, the man who killed Star Trek, has his toxic finger in this festering pie. Characters are mere stereotypes, the dialogue is entirely exposition.Normally I'd bemoan the waste of talent, but there really isn't any in evidence.Terra Nova was rightfully put out of its misery and there's no need to mourn its passing.

    The CGI did a good job with the dinosaurs, they look amazing and the environment is perfect although some fast moving scenes looks like a 1990 game. For some people i think it can be insulting the total lack of black people, at least on the "good side" but the actors are OK. The major problem is the erratic behavior, especially on teenagers doing dumb things just to sustain the drama. The character construction are obvious like we have a doctor and her husband just happens to be a great cop. The main plot is good but turns unbearable fast with the obvious solutions, poor script, trick science to solve everything, and events that ends without proper explanation like the usurper doctor.Terra Nova is pretty fair if you like sci-fi and there is nothing better to watch but i will just vote 6 out 10 cause they could do a better job just doing a better script and not considering that all spectators are dumb so the 6 points go to the art director and the original concept.

    This show is terrible. So why did I watch EVERY episode on Netflix? Because it's hilarious, that's why. The acting, the writing, heck, even the dinosaurs are simply, hilarious. You can't help but feel like you're in "Avatar" and "Pokemon" at the same time.Watch this if you just got fired from your job. Watch this if your partner just left you. But, do not watch this if you're looking for a decent sci-fi TV series. You can feel the potential running through the veins of each body-of-an-episode; unfortunately, potential isn't enough to keep this body of work from death-by- face-plant on one's way out the gritty-gates of Terra Nova.
