Primeval the Complete Series Four
Primeval the Complete Series Four scratches its way on DVD that returns
viewers to the mysterious organisation known as ARC that involves around
time-travel and more importantly, dinosaurs. From the cliffhanging
ending of series three that saw Danny, Connor and Abby mysteriously
disappear plus the death of Johnson, the government funding body
responsible for ARC has decided to take matters into their own hands due
to the mismanagement of the organisation by Lester.
Bringing in scientist Philip Burton, the powers that be
believe outside
involvement into ARC is the way of the future and is an effort to
prevent any more mishaps but this new path has rubbed a few of the
members the wrong way. Under the new banner of ARC, their first mission
is to search for the missing ARC operatives by creating a new team to
investigate there whereabouts and more importantly, if they are alive.
This new team is lead by Matt, a former soldier who seems to have a very
shaded past.
Thankfully early on the series, we learn of the fate of Danny, Connor
and Abby as they have spent a year in the Cretaceous period with Connor
and Abby forming a romance, however Danny is still missing. The new
series of Primeval has really thrown a spanner into the works and its
writer have turned the entire organisation ARC, upside down which has
breathed some new life into the series, especially with the introduction
of Philip Burton as the wealthy scientist. Primeval the Complete Series
Four is a very well made British series that features some exceptional
writing and some great characterisation. There is drama, action and even
romance that makes this one of the better science fiction series,
although there are a few cringe worthy moments.
The BBC continue to the be at the forefront of high quality video and
audio with Primeval cementing this fact. The image quality is
outstanding with bright colours, deep blacks and some rather impressive
special effects. Audio is on par with the video with crystal clear
dialogue and some great sound effects thrown into the mix. With a
recommended retail price of $39.95, Primeval the Complete Series Four
runs for a whopping 394 minutes and if you enjoyed the series on TV and
are a purist than this is a must have collection or for those who may
have missed out the first time on TV.
Definitely a series for the fan
boys and girls! |
