We live in a series of strong adventures with the Shannon family, which decided to travel to the so-called Terra Nova, a colony that was built on a beautiful and beautiful land. Jim Shannon is the father who goes with his family in this new world of beauty, mystery and perhaps a bit of potential terror. The family begins their life at that place when Shannons arrive where they will be brought to Cmdr. Nathaniel Taylor, the first settler leader and commander who warns them that Terra Nova is a good place to live but is not as integrated as they think.
The kiddies will want to check out the dinosaurs, but children will probably wander off pretty quickly when they see how rarely their ancient reptilian friends are on screen.
Terra Nova's' expansive vistas and action scenes look spiffy, and if you like to see humans battle dinosaurs in HD, you're likely to be satisfied by the workmanlike but effective story told in the pilot.
The story could go in any number of these directions, some of which would be more worthwhile than others. And so for us, for now, Terra Nova offers a world of possibilities.
Indeed, it is hard to knock Terra Nova overall, such does it succeed on its own terms, which involve working over the pituitary brain and the sympathetic soul.
Judging by these first two hours, Terra Nova is going to be the equivalent of a popcorn flick for the small screen, full of visual wonder, thrilling action and the occasional surprise
