Terra Nova (TV Series 2011) News |Terra Nova Series Review

Fox’s bank-busting showpieceTerra Nova finally lands tonight, with the eyes of sci-fi and action fans the world over resting upon it. Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, and FOX's Terra Nova. What do they all have in common?

The year is 2149. The air is poison. The earth is depleted of natural resources and the moon has been obscured by pollution. Strict conservation laws are in effect, including one that limits parents to two children each: “A Family is Four,” reads one billboard.
