Terra Nova (2011)
Terra Nova (2011) is an ambitious sci-fi TV series, not a movie, produced by Steven Spielberg. Set in 2149, it follows the Shannon family escaping a dying Earth to join a prehistoric colony 85 million years in the past via a time portal. The show blends Jurassic Park-style dinosaur action with family drama and intrigue, led by Commander Nathaniel Taylor (Stephen Lang). 
Visually stunning with lavish production (shot in Australia), it boasts decent CGI, though dinosaurs sometimes look artificial. The premise is intriguing, but clichรฉd characters, sappy dialogue, and excessive teen drama weaken the narrative. Critics praised its potential (62% on Rotten Tomatoes) but noted heavy exposition and uneven pacing. Canceled after one season, itโs a flawed yet entertaining mix of adventure and mystery.
