Movie Reviews of Alias: The Complete Fifth Season
Movie Review: The Final Season of a Great Series
Summary: 5 Stars
The night Alias premiered on ABC, I could not get into it and gave up after about an hour. I never watched it again. After the series was cancelled, a friend recommended I pick it up on DVD and give it another chance. I bought the first 2 seasons and I was hooked. Last night I watched the final episode and thought that I would write about this great series in general.
Alias concerns Sydney Bristow, a very attractive young woman beautifully played by Jennifer Garner. When the series premiered, Sydney is working for SD-6, a ruthless counterintelligence organization that she is told is part of the CIA. What she and most of the people working there don't know is that SD-6 is really a criminal organization, run by the despicable Arvin Sloane (Ron Rifkin) that has nothing to do with the CIA. Sydney eventually contacts the CIA and becomes a double-agent spying on SD-6 for the CIA. Furthermore, her father Jack Bristow (Victor Garber) also is working undercover for the CIA while seemingly working for SD-6. But thats just the beginning.
Over the next 5 seasons, the CIA would eventually attack and take out SD-6. Sydney, her father and friends would really become agents for the CIA. New regulars came and went. Lena Olin showed up as Sydney's mother, a ruthless killer and ex-KGB agent. In season 3, after being missing for months and suffering amnesia, Sydney returned to find her boyfriend and former CIA contact,Vaughn, married to a beautiful colleague and ruthless double-agent and killer. In season 4 Sydney disovered she had a half-sister as a result of a daliance between her mother and Sloane. Her sister, (the very hot Mia Maestro,) worked with Sydney for most of the season before winding up in a coma at the conclusion of a very wild "Night of the Living Dead" type episode where a far-out experiment turns the inhabitants of a Russian city into zombies. This was a wild and exciting episode. The 5th. and final season adds some new regulars (Rachel Nichols and the very cute Amy Acker who plays against type in a villainous role.) The series comes to a very satisfactory conclusion.
This show had far-out scripts, terrific acting from Garner, Rifkin and Garber, and incredibly imaginative and exciting action scenes. I've heard people say that it went off the rails after its 2nd. season. I don't agree. I found each season of the series to be exciting and enjoyable. If you never watched it, do what I did. Catch up with it on DVD and watch it at your leisure. You'll be glad you did.
