Falling Skies



In new science fiction series produced by Steven Spielberg a Alien Invasion has occurred on Planet Earth. The premiere is that alien ships have arrived in present day and have already brought a whole lot of destruction already taking out military targets and population decimated. It’s left up to ordinary citizens to fight back (kids included) even though they are vastly outnumbered, under-armed and technologically lacking. The Series picks up six months after the invasion and part of the citizen army known as 2nd Mass (because they are in Boston) is looking for food and weapons, trying to avoid the deadly mechanized robots doing the killing for the multiple-legged aliens Skitters who launched the attack. Personally I don't think its that good because everyone seems to be taking their new lives quite easily. They all have adjusted well and don't seem to have any emotional problems which seems unusual. Other than that it is pretty good. The Computer animation is good and the acting is great.
Interesting fact: 13 episodes have been made at 4 million each.
