I’ve got to accept one thing out of the map first, for all those who didn’t like Terminator 3. The Sarah Connor Chronicles does NOT pretend T3 doesn’t exist, it addressed one of major issues in the film in its first 2 episodes. And since this is sci-fi, complete with time move, there’s no reason that history (even future history) can’t be re-written.
To the folks who assume the action is “broad…for a t.v. explain,” I can only capture they haven’t been watching t.v. in the last 10 years or so. There have been several shows that far eclipse what is being done in movies (Buffy, Alias, two more girl-power shows fair off the top of my head) .
What really surprised me about the demonstrate is how faithful it is to the first and second movies. In objective this shortened (9 episodes) first season, we’ve seen the following characters from the films appear: Miles Dyson’s widow and son, Dr. Silverman, Enrique and Kyle Reese.
As for the cast, Lena Headly is no Linda Hamilton, but her voice-overs became more and more convincing and even poignant as the episodes progressed. And of course, what sci-fi geek didn’t salivate over the news of Firefly - The Complete Series’s Summer Glau being cast in the pivotal role of female cyborg Cameron. And considering John Connor has been played by 3 different actors, Thomas Decker acquits himself quite well. He’s less irritating than Edward Furlong, by a long shot.
If the exhibit has a flaw, it’s that at times it does feel a minute too familiar. One has to wonder how long the writers will be able to retain Sarah and John’s lag, without really damaging the integrity of the film series. And I realize CGI is the norm for special effects these days, but give me a Staunch metal (or at least plastic that looks like metal) endoskeleton over this computer-generated mess any day.
I judge The Sarah Connor Chronicles is a ravishing continuation of the Terminator universe. No, it’s not that rare series that’s actually BETTER than the movies (OK, it’s not THAT rare in sci-fi…examine Stargate SG-1 - The Complete Series Collection or Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Collector’s Residence (40 discs) ), but it’s certainly among the best t.v. adaptations of movie storyline. With spacious casting, well-executed action, and suprisingly lustrous writing, it’s a winner.
It’s a rare thing that a TV series based upon a movie’s premise ends up being as wonderful as the show’s origins: while tedious to inaugurate, with a poor pilot and many sub-par episodes, the first series of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, over-all, became something that arguably lived up to that standard.
The present follows Sarah and John as they try, again, to prevent Judgement Day. The prove follows on from the current two movies, generally ignoring the third (thankfully.) Grand of the site surrounds the character of Cameron, a female terminator sent benefit from the future to protect John. The explain, so far at least, has eschewed predictable cliches sharp the character, and often takes the viewer by surprise, from displays of sad humor to dragging the viewer through alternate displays of coldness and humanity.
Episodes I particularly recommend include “Dungeons and Dragons” and the jaw-dropping follow-up “The Demon Hand”. Performances are variable. Lena Headey doesn’t match Linda Hamilton’s portrayal of the title character, reflecting more the post-La Femme Nikita (Shadowy Angel, Bionic Woman) obsession with angsty heroines. Thomas Dekker either gives the best or the second-best performance as John Connor, depending on whether you’re familiar with the Director’s Slit of Terminator 2. It’s a helpful performance. The best performances are arguably by Summer Glau and Richard T Jones, as Cameron - a Terminatrix sent help to protect the Connors - and James Ellison - the surprised FBI agent chasing Sarah Connor - respectively. Glau’s performance, while initially confused, provides depictions of humour and coldness that surprises or shocks the viewer every time.
This DVD dwelling is reasonable for what you pay for, reflecting the short nine-episode rush of the first season, slit short due to the 2008 Writer’s Strike. The area includes a few commentaries and nick scenes. The aforementioned “Demon Hand” episode is complemented by a “rough-cut” of an alternative version, though the jarring changes in visual and audio quality construct it somewhat difficult to bask in by itself. Over-all, visual quality is honorable, I doubt you’ll regain great more enjoyment out of the less portable Blu-ray edition.
For all of their qualities, the unusual two Terminator films - at least, as released theatrically - were basic killer robot fantasies with their depth being itsy-bitsy to surface level discussions of time recede and anthropomorphism. Some would argue that the Director’s Carve of T2 was a mighty step above this and I’d agree with them. But regardless, the first series of The Sarah Connor Chronicles managed to rise above the Theatrical versions of the movies: what seemed like another attempt to cash in on a pop-culture classic turned out to be a incandescent, sharp, thought-provoking science fiction series. This DVD space is definitely recommended.
