Terra Nova (2011)
Give it a chance
No Terra Nova is not as good as Jurassic Park, but did anyone really expect it be be?
I believe that people are too quick to write Terra Nova off. Even great sci-fi shows such as Falling Skies, BattleStar Galactica and Stargate first come under negative reviews and yet went on to become successful. The acting and choice of actors has also come under criticism and yet no one would enjoy watching a series about a whole military base fighting the odd dinosaur and killing all enemies. The civilian element, much like the colonial fleet in Battlestar, helps to cause trouble within Terra Nova (ie the sixer spy). The human element is crucial to ALL sci-fi's -surely people must realise this? If not i recommend watching a different genre (Preferably a war film)
About the CGI used in Terra Nova. What can u expect from a TV Series? The big films may be able to get the best CGI but for a TV series it is incredibly harder (And has caused shows like Stargate to be cancelled). Is the CGI so bad? No, not compared to some current shows broadcast on SciFi.
Overall i believe People need to give Terra Nova a chance, especially as the story is now getting deeper. If, After this season, the plot hasn't improved, then criticise Terra Nova and get out your DVD of Jurassic Park.
Resident Evil (2002)
Forget the game, its a great movie!
I have never played the Resident Evil video games, and i doubt i ever will, yet i watched Resident Evil and was hooked!
Bearing in mind that i have never played the games i found the start very confusing. However i soon found it was really easy to get the idea of the plot and became gripped. The film is very intense and builds up suspense perfectly, even when they first entered the Hive i expected a horde of zombies to attack them, it was great.
The great acting helps to make the film have more meaning, especially Milla Jovovich (Alice) who turns into a bad-ass heroine. However i believe the film keeps some aspects of the game, which may hinder the film to people who don't play the game.
I would definitely recommend watching Resident Evil as it may surprise you and get you into watching the sequels!
