"Prehistoric New Era" originated from a Hollywood cartoon called "Planet of Tairuo", which was a new habitat for themselves in outer space when future humans found that the earth was no longer suitable for survival. It's just that the planet was replaced with the earth of the prehistoric era in "Prehistoric New Era", so this is actually a time-travel drama, but different from the general accidental time-travel, this is actually initiated by the inhabitants of the earth in 2049 to survive An immigrant move that demands space for time.
When the show started, I'm afraid no one expected that this strong series might be unfinished, but judging from the current situation, this first season may also be the last season. In fact, in terms of ratings alone, "The New Era of Prehistory" belongs to the mid-range level, but compared to the high cost of the show supported by many locations and special effects, FOX has to consider the issue of cost-effectiveness.
A very important point about the time-travel setting of "New Era of Prehistory" is that this kind of time-travel is one-way and irreversible, that is, once you travel from 2049 to prehistory, it means that you will lose your previous life forever, and because of Unable to get in touch with 2049, these migrants effectively become disconnected kites. From another perspective, it has become an independent kingdom, and the military and the police are in power, and their rule is not restricted by the political system. What was supposed to be a dystopian allegory of political machinations turned into a family adventure. The central character of this play is a family of five. The husband and wife both play the most important roles in this primary society, the police and the doctor. In addition to the more primitive environment, the material life they enjoy at home involves food and clothing. It is no different from modern times. The usual actions are to fight monsters and upgrade (because there are often dinosaurs here) and regular labor. This is too childish, because the audience can't feel the sense of crisis in their survival at all, and they will not pay attention to their fate. towards. Perhaps the producers later realized the problem and began to add drama to the military chief executive, Taylor.
Stephen Lang, who played Tyler, had a similar role in Avatar as the officer who led the army to invade the planet Pandora. Taylor's line of action is mainly to lead the military and civilians against a human resistance organization "Sixth Gang" wandering outside the residential area. In the process, Taylor is shaped into a flat incarnation of justice. It was not until the ninth episode that he traced back the exile of his son, who had researched two-way communication with 2049, that his possessive desire for power was vaguely revealed. But time is running out for Prehistoric Age, as it will have its own season finale, and possibly a show finale, on Christmas Day.
Spielberg's two sci-fi series this year can be described as failures, and the mediocrity of the movie "The Adventures of Tintin" has to be doubted about his exhaustion of creativity, but he has two chances to prove For myself, one is the movie "War Horse" at the end of the year, and the other is the musical series "Blockbuster" that will be broadcast early next year. 【Southern Metropolis Daily】
