No Nukes

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2012)

Effective, exciting prequel. Just enough tantalizing trivia for the series fans and just enough elements of evolution for the premise of the original concept to make perfect sense.
After all we just assumed that humans nuked the planet when Taylor, in the now famous Statue of Liberty scene, discovers the awful "truth". Not so fast.
No explanation, until now, about how it all went so askew. This thoughtful homage might breathe new life into a dying franchise. We might even get to see what kind of monkey business another species can do to our beloved planet.
But if you believe in Darwinism this is nothing more than starting all over again and with that said we can't expect too much enlightenment.
