Movie Reviews of The 4400 - The Complete Third SeasonMovie Review: Great sci-fi show. Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a fan of `The 4400' since season 1. Though most reviewers will disagree, I found this season to be the best of them all. In this season, we finally get to know why the 4400 were abducted.
Though this season was great, I do have a few comments:
1. The season is too short. I think they should add a few more episodes to every season.
2. I loved Isabelle, but didn't like the way the writers were sexually exploiting her. There were a few unnecessary French kissing scenes that I found to be vulgar, especially in close-up. I know that many reviewers will disagree with me, but I think the kissing scenes could have been more tastefully done.
3. I do get the feeling in some episodes if the writers really know where they are going. Some episodes seem to just be thrown in as fillers.
4. The return of Jordan Collier was great and unexpected. He is one of the best characters in the show.
I am looking forward for season 4. Will there be war between the 4400, the new 4400s, and humans? Would you want to be a superhuman?
If you like `Heroes', you will love `The 4400'.
Summary of The 4400 - The Complete Third SeasonFour thousand-four hundred people missing from around the world return together in one place, on one day. Genre: Television Rating: NR Release Date: 8-MAY-2007 Media Type: DVD Season two of The 4400 ended not with one, but two shockers. First, baby Isabelle turned into a 20-year-old overnight (now played by Megalyn Echikunwoke). Then, it was revealed that Jordan Collier (Billy Campbell), who was believed dead, is still alive. The third year begins with more surprises. While Isabelle was aging, so was her mother, Lily (Tippi Hedren, replacing Laura Allen), who fast-forwards several decades. Suffice to say, her husband, Richard (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali), is not pleased. Also, the Nova Group, a splinter organization within the 4400, has started to eliminate those they perceive as their enemies?including their own. The 4400's third season was widely considered its weakest, but solid ratings justified a fourth. The pace doesn't pick up until Jordan's return--in real life, Campbell took off 13 months to sail the world--but the concept and the characters remain intriguing. For instance, Shawn (Patrick Flueger), head of the 4400 Center, embarks on a relationship with Isabelle, while his uncle, NTAC agent Tom (Joel Gretsch), gets bad news about wife Alana (Karina Lombard) and good news about son Kyle (Chad Faust). Dennis Ryland (Peter Coyote), meanwhile, moves from the NTAC into the private sector where he continues to micro-manage the 4400. Recurring characters include Gary Navarro (Sharif Atkins), who joins the Nova Group, Dr. Burkoff (Jeffrey Combs), who injects himself with promicin--the mysterious substance associated with the 4400--and the sympathetic Tess (Summer Glau), who assists in his attempt to see if he can develop similar powers. Guest stars include Alice Krige (Star Trek: First Contact) as a woman with a special interest in Diana's adopted daughter Maia ("Gone") and Brian Dennehy (Cocoon) as Tom's father ("Blink"). As with season two, three features commentary from the cast and crew plus a trio of featurettes. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
