Terra Nova, 2011
Executive produced by Steven Spielberg, FOX’s ambitious new offering features time travel, dinosaurs, family drama, and a two-hour pilot that insiders say could have cost as much as $20 million. While some costs, like the pricey sets, will be spread over the first season’s 13-episode run, the money hasn’t been rewarded with critical acclaim. Reviewers have been quick to note that the pilot, originally scheduled to air in May, suffers from a clunky plot and flat characters.
