Product Information
Picking up where TERMINATOR 2 - JUDGEMENT DAY left off, THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES continues the epic battle of man against machine. Having successfully defeated one Terminator in the previous film, Sarah (Lena Headey, RIPLEY'S GAME) realises that the world is no longer a safe place for her or her teenage son John (Thomas Dekker, TV's HEROES). So she makes it their mission to bring down Skynet, the artificial intelligence system responsible for causing all this robo-mayhem. But how do you outmanoeuvre an ever-evolving technology that's hell-bent on wiping out the entire human race? With great difficulty, it turns out. Not only are they being hunted by a bunch of time-travelling, renegade cyborgs, but they're also on the run from the law. Salvation comes in the form of a human-friendly Terminator named Cameron (Summer Glau, SERENITY), who befriends John and serves as their protector. FBI Agent James Ellison, who is originally assigned to capture the Connors, ends up joining their resistance against Cyberdyne Corporation, the company behind Skynet. This release presents every episode from the first and second series of the sci-fi spinoff.Product Identifiers

ReviewsHollywood Reporter - Director David Nutter gets the series off to a rousing start, practically packing every frame with suspense, special effects and an urgency that drives this show like an incessant drumbeat, Chicago Tribune - TERMINATOR û THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES returns with a solidly enjoyable action-oriented outing, New York Times - One of the more humanizing adventures in science fiction to arrive in quite a while, the series is taut, haunting, relevant, and an exploration of adolescent exceptionalism rendered without the cheerleading uniforms and parody of HEROES, Entertainment Weekly - This season introduces Garbage singer Shirley Manson as an eerie CEO... she reveals a nice glint of pompadoured, purry villainy, USA Today - As much as the show recalls the movies, it also recalls some of the best work ever done in the genre for TV: the Buffy universe of Joss Whedon. Most every blast of portent and bombast is lightened by a throwaway joke; scenes of intense action and violence give way to equally well-realized scenes of domestic life that root the fantasy in emotional reality, TV Guide - This show lives up to its franchise's reputation for suspenseful action, Variety - Under director David Nutter and show-runner Josh Friedman, the first two hours roll a slick brand extension off this profitable assembly line, Slant Magazine - THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES' much improved second season outdoes McG's gorgeous but brain-dead TERMINATOR SALVATION for both conceptual creativity and the much-needed backbone of tangible character drama, Newsday - Humans vs. cyborgs in a movie spin-off that's surprisingly effective for fans of both action and character drama
