Time-travel, Dinosaurs and Stephen Lang: this Sci-Fi Dream Team Should be Great Fun
On first showing, Terra
Nova is the Harlem Globetrotters of sci-fi. Take a dash of Blade Runner for starters followed by a
smidgeon of Stargate and a whole load
of Avatar (there’s even Stephen
Lang), mixed with Jurassic Park plus
a little bit of Lost, and you have Terra Nova.
The set-up is that by the 22nd Century, Earth has
been utterly choked, but a rip in time has appeared providing a portal to a
different time stream, 85 million years in the past. In short, mankind is going
to the time of the dinosaurs to build a perfect new society, and we follow a
family who are joining this brave new world.
