Executive
Produced by Steven Spielberg, the explosive science fiction
television series Falling Skies comes to a stunning and
satisfying conclusion with this exceptional Season 5 DVD
release. Featuring high end production value including incredible
special effects, this show is a must for sci-fi enthusiasts and genre
fans alike.
The
show stars Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, Drew Roy, Will Patton, Connor
Jessup and Colin Cunningham. The show originally aired on TNT.
Aliens
have attacked the Earth, and they won. Now, a small group of
survivors surrounding major cities around the world must band
together and rebuild some sort of society. Not only must they figure
out how to work together, they must figure how to eliminate the new
alien race who have taken over their planet. Tom Mason, a Boston
historian, has his family torn apart. His knowledge of how
civilizations are born makes him an ideal leader for starting over,
but his desire to reunite family lead him down a path more dangerous
than planning a society. Everyday people must become heroes, normal
humans must make priorities between family and civilization. The
idea of what was always known is destroyed, and they must redefine
existence. Above it all are a race of aliens to whom humanity is
nothing.
Episodes
on the disc include Find Your Warrior, Hunger Pains, Hatchlings,
Pope Breaks Bad, Non-Essential Personnel, Respite, Everybody Has
Their Reasons, Stalag 14th Virginia, Reunion, and Reborn.
Each
episode is presented in an anamorphically enhanced transfer at the
1.78:1 widescreen aspect ratio paired with a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1
track, the show looks and sounds good, but not up to the Blu-ray
