In fact, the preset environment of this film is very magnificent and can extend countless plots, but the first eight episodes of the first season at least live up to this magnificent background.
The plot of the story is no longer described. There are too many dramas that can be performed in this super-time + dinosaur environment. But this drama actually focuses on the emotional life of a family of 5, which is really incomprehensible. A very low sense of justice, a former police father who is stronger than the special forces, a smart, beautiful, gentle and considerate doctor mother, adolescent rebellious bullshit, a son who has inherited his father’s temper, hereditary mother is smart and beautiful but has medical potential The eldest daughter who can't dream of love, the super cute little daughter.
If we say that the first 8 episodes are basically Avatar’s environmental presuppositions + family ethics dramas + wild survival dramas + medical dramas. And I especially like to focus on the relationship between father and son! Although the special effects are very good, every time the dinosaurs come out, the effects are particularly experienced, but now everyone really doesn't catch a cold with the special effects. Just when everyone is about to give up! The plot suddenly came to a turning point!
Everyone's guessed plots have appeared one after another: the villain's counterattack, the two-way opening of the gate of time and space, the gate of time and space is destroyed, the butterfly effect, etc. have all appeared. And the whole secret and ugly ugliness buried in terra nova are revealed. The big lottery that originally embodied the ugly human nature in the first episode was magnified again by the greedy villain. Suddenly, the point of the show became prominent. Coupled with the last 5 minutes of the last episode, it's really interesting. Suddenly I had a general expectation for the content of the second season.
The overall environment setting of this drama is completely domineering, but the details are messed up. 100 people come every time after discovering the gate of time and space? What a joke, immigration is not like this. The villain lives in the jungle and leads the life of a primitive man? This plot is too clichéd. What surrounds the base is a wooden fence. The future high-tech is just a few iPads and power guns? That huge hole in the wall allows people to enter and exit at will. High-tech can prevent the dinosaurs from not detecting people? In short, the processing of various details is too big in Hollywood blockbuster style, you can't think about it carefully, even if compared with science fiction movies like Stargate, it is a lot worse.
In summary, I have written so much. This drama is estimated to be able to persist with the support of a strong environment, and the special effects are still very powerful. But if we continue with the concept of the Family Ethics Bureau in the first 8 episodes, it is probably not far from being wiped. I hope that the second season can give full play to the stamina of the environment and make everyone amazed. After all, so many great gods are pointing the country behind, no matter what, you have to make some achievements.
ps: After reading the comments, few people have watched the episode seriously. I criticized it in a half-toned manner, and I was very irresponsible. It's basically a principle not to make negative comments about things you don't understand. Especially for this movie, the front was really bad, and the next few episodes suddenly improved by leaps and bounds. Can you just look at the first 3-4 episodes to evaluate it? Hasty.
