Movie Reviews of The 4400 - The Complete Third Season
Movie Review: The stakes are higher, and it's not over yet
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this in spurts, but was still able to keep up with it pretty well. The storyline is as cohesive as ever, as the 4400s deal with various abilities, some of which are quite dangerous and can be easily exploited by them or by others.
The cast is solid, particularly Joel Gresch, as well as Jeffrey Combs and Summer Glau, better known for their previous work in Star Trek and Firefly/Serenity, respectively. The character of Isabelle grows so powerful that her own father must fear her, while Jordan Collier returns with what may be apocalyptic plans.
We are left hanging in the season finale as the neon green drug is handed out to anyone who wants it, with a 50/50 chance of it stirring up abilities in non-4400s.
Looking forward to the fourth season.
Movie Review: The 4400 second season
Summary: 4 Stars
The story was great, as the first season was, but the price was way too much for the very short, two disk, abbreviated season and ending to a series that should have kept running. And to add shipping to that was an insult.Movie Review: Isabelle made this season!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was by far my favorite season. Not only are the sub-plots more entertaining, but it seemed they picked up on the lagging action of season 2.
The addition of Isabelle gave this series an amazing boost of energy, and I loved the story line about the inhibitors expanding the 4400's powers even more. Also, Jordan Collier returns from the future, and has a devious plan for human kind.
Everything about this season was perfect. Cant wait to watch 4.
Movie Review: The Sneetches - updated
Summary: 4 Stars
Well written, well acted. Basically, 4400 abductees return in a ball of light, each with a special ability. The central tale revolves around a core group but each week there is a guest ability featured. There are many organizations trying to use the 4400 to its own ends so we have villains from government, industry and family all trying to take advantage of the talents demonstrated by the returnees. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of who's good and who's bad (and even who's dead and who's alive).
This show draws from many sources but still manages to be unique and stand on its own. It has a bit of the Andromeda Strain, H.G. Wells, Biblical figures, but mostly Dr. Seuss's "The Sneetches". (The star bellied Sneetches had bellies with stars; the plain bellied Sneetches had none upon thar's"). That's basically the whole premise - Do you want a star or not? Is having a star better than not? This may sound simplistic but the writers weave episode after episode, season after season's stories around this age old question - Is what we want really best for us?
In my estimation, each season is quite equal so I'm using this review for each. Watch and enjoy....bg
Movie Review: the series hits a bump in the road....
Summary: 2 Stars
it had to happen - after the promising first season, and the outstanding second season, by the third season.....there's a letdown. To explain: the stories (not all, but some) lack enough emotional depth and there's not enough action (or movement) to the story-lines. Too much dialogue.......However, it is still very good television, and some episodes are very good, but as a whole not as good as the first 2 seasons. Let's see how the 4th and final season unfolds.
