Movie Review: To every dream lies a 5 Stars

What if you could soar above the sky, and see the world through the eyes of a bird, or what if you could bend the space time continium, imagine if you wil the possibility of never being hurt, or reading the minds of your peers, what would you do with these gifts? Would you use them for the benefit of mankind, or would you use them for your own objectives? Heroes has become one of the biggest hit shows of the 2007 season, its conolation of well placed story plots intertwining the lives of several "unique" people has proven more than adequate and has dealt the viewer a hand of action, drama, comedy, and horror.

The story takes off when Mohinder Suresh, the son of an obsessive scientist bent on finding the unique individuals who carry within them the genetic code capable of propelling our species to the next evolutionary stage, trying to finish his fathers research. In the process the show dives into the individual stories of Claire, Nikki, Nathan, Peter, Isaac, Matt, and finally Hiro. Claire has the ability to quickly regenerate her cellular structure rendering her invincible, Nikki is a stripper that has a hidden secret in her reflection, Nathan has the ability to fly, Peter can copy powers, Issac can reveal the future through painted portraits, Matt has the ability to read minds, and Hiro can break the space time continuom.

*First Episode Spoiler Warning*
For those of you that want to get an idea of what your in for before you buy the season set, i have decided to give a brief written summary of the beginning of the first episode, if you don't want to know what happens then do not read on.
The episode basically begins with Peter standing on top of a 20 foot building looking out into the horizon, his arms spread open and the wind waving his hair he plunges off of the building and as he is speeding towards the ground you get a glimpse of Nathans face before the screen goes white and you are taken back to Peter who is now sitting on a chair with his nurse coat on apparently day dreaming. After you get a small glimpse at what Peter's life is like, you are taken to Mohinder Suresh who is giving a lecture on the possibility of human potential and the idea that the most fully evolved creature is a cockaroach, while giving this lecture he is interrupted by one of his fathers old collegues who brings him the news of his father's death. Mohinder then decides that he wants to finish his fathers research and so he takes a trip to his father's apartment to acquire clues on what his father was working on, while there, he finds that he is not alone, there is someone else who seems to be interested in his father's research as well. Mohinder then takes a certain something from his fathers archives and leaves the room unnoticed. Now you are taken to Claire who seems to be making some sort of a home movies considering she is being seen through the lens of a camera, Claire begins to climb about two stories onto the ledge of a construction site about 80 feet from ground level, the camera man utters something about how insane this is and then you see Claire plummeting two stories face first, the camera man begins to express his concern for her well being and begins to run towards her, Claire then gets up relocates her dislocated shoulder and says to the camera, "attempt number 6," while a bloody gash over her forhead begins to

Want to know what happens next? Well your just going to have to see for yourself.

This is the solid package, one full season of one of the best shows on television in perfect high defenition format, and believe me when i say it looks beautiful, if only the stupid format war would end then the consumer wouldn't have to suffer, i wish that those that have a blue ray player would be able to get to enjoy this also.

To wrap things up, you've got a great show in beautiful high def format, at a great price considering it is 23 one hour episodes, i recommend this to anyone who likes a good super hero story.

Summary of Heroes - Season 1 [HD DVD]

Arguably the most talked-about television show of the 2006-2007 season, the Emmy-nominated fantasy Heroes gives viewers blends comic book-style adventure with plotting and characters as rich and layered as any graphic novel or drama series. Creator Tim Kring's premise is deceptively simple ? ordinary individuals in locations around the globe discover that they have, for lack of a better term, super powers, and wrestle with this reality while facing challenges both global (the destruction of New York City, for one) and personal (indestructible cheerleader Hayden Panetierre has family issues ? serious ones, as the true identity of her adoptive father reveals; Milo Ventimiglia's Peter Petrelli, who absorbs other powers, must overcome his own insecurities). Add to this mix a terrific villain ? Zachary Quinto's Sylar, who hunts and kills people with extraordinary powers like our heroes ? and viewers have a riveting series that exhibits an almost-perfect balance of cliffhanger thrills (the action and special effects are truly impressive for a network program) and genuine drama that sets the show apart from most speculative fiction (save, perhaps, the revived Battlestar Galactica, which it compares too favorably). The seven-disc set of Heroes: Season One offers a wealth of extras for fans, who may be familiar with some of them through the NBC.com website, especially the cast commentaries, which are featured on half of the episodes. Kring is featured on the 73-minute uncut pilot episode, which for some viewers, may be even better than the network version; the main difference is the degree of character development, including an entire storyline for D.L. Hawkins that isn't featured in the broadcast version. Also on deck are some 50 deleted scenes from the episodes, several by-the-books making-of featurettes, including coverage of the special effects and stunt work, and a profile of artist Tim Sale, whose illustrations are used for Isaac Mendez's prophetic artwork. Prospective buyers should note that while all of these supplemental features are included on the HD-DVD version of this set, the special Web-connectivity elements are not available here. -- Paul Gaita
