Highly Anticipated Science Fiction: Falling Skies

By:


This newest addition to the sci-fi genre is a take on an old idea: aliens come down, attack Earth, humans fight back, ad nauseum.

It opens after the initial attacks which have left the world in complete chaos. The survivors have banded together to start the task of fighting back. Living outside the once thriving major cities, these survivors face a daunting task just to survive day to day, as well as protect their fellow survivors.

Enter the hero Tom Mason, played by Noah Wyle. Tom is a history teacher from Boston ,whose family has been torn apart by the invasion. His wife was killed and a son captured. Tom's determination to protect his family puts his extensive knowledge of military history to the test as one of the resistance leaders. They call themselves 2nd Mass after the fact that they are located outside of Boston Mass.

It is a constant battle as the group tries to gather intelligence on the aliens to hopefully one day outsmart and overtake them.

Moon Bloodgood plays a paediatrician helping children deal with this violent upheaval in their lives. Will Patton plays a fierce leader of the resistance, Weaver. The series also stars Drew Roy, Maxim Knight, Connor Jessup and Seychelle Gabriel.

Falling Skies focuses on the survivors resilience and their determination to maintain their humanity when all is destroyed. A tale of courage,commitment and endurance of everyday people who are called on to become heroes. They are outmatched, outnumbered and out-gunned,but nothing beats the human spirit. As humans we also have a distinct hatred of captivity.

The aliens in this series are highly intelligent, merciless and use military-like tactics against the second Mass group. There are two types of aliens that the human survivors have named Skitters and Mechs. The Skitters have spider like bodies and are incredibly strong, while the Mechs are robotic standing upright and able to fire bullets from their arms. They use captured children controlling them by means of a bio-mechanical harness.

This latest venture from executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, along with DreamWorks Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank, Graham Yost and screenwriter Robert Rodat. Rodat who earned an Oscar nomination for the screen-play to 'Saving Private Ryan' , wrote the pilot from an idea he co-conceived with Spielberg. Spielberg has always been good at taking the viewer to new heights of entertainment, so this new show will be worth a look. Until then look up and wonder.
