Reply #13: the acting and story was ok, the visual effects of the planet (future and past) were great

I loved watching it on a digital channel on my HDTV. The first 20 minutes had some gorgeous scenery, both of the bleak future and terra nova.

The acting was meh. That family seems to be rehashing every cliche of the new comers who show up and immediately cause chaos with the native community. I predicted that there would be a second colony to create some non-dinosaur tension.

I might watch next week just because pilot episodes are usually clunky and filled with exposition. I want to see if it can find it's legs or if this is yet another failed attempt at LOST.


EDIT: Oh yeah, I did have to laugh that the dinosaurs of 1993's Jurassic Park are STILL better than any of the dinosaurs created today.
