At last, on DVD, the Science fiction adventure from Star Trek creator, Gene Roddenberry.
An androgynous alien species called the Taelons arrive on earth, claiming to be companions of humanity, putting an end to crime, illness, and famine. Some are suspicious of the Taleons, and form a resistance movement. The resistance soon learned that the force that sustains the Taelons are breaking down, and they are using humans as test subjects in experiments to help save their species...

Earth: Final Conflict S1 retains all the astonishing magic, the mystery, the sense of expectation I had when watching it in TV. Perhaps the most intriguing idea of the late Gene Roddenberry, the show is about aliens between us, and plunges us in a heartbreaking quest to reach understanding and bridge distances between living beings. Da'an, the alien Companion, is one of the most compelling characters in all the Sci-Fi history, mirroring, in his "descent" among humans, the fate of a very superior being, who stands apart even in his own race, who aches to share humanity's pain and joy, and ultimately must die for this. There would be more to say in praise of this show, which stands very highly in Sci-Fi production (when you don't ask only for special effect and the like), and reminds me of legendaru movies like "The Day The Earth Stood Still", where too an alien sacrifices himself in behalf of humanity. Unforgettables episodes are "Live Free Or Die", "The Wrath Of Achilles", Avatar", but I cannot mention one which could be said bad. I only hope Universal will release soon the second, third and fourth season.
The Dvd is only in english, and I am very sorry the strabge dubbing in Italian, German, Polish, French and Chines are lost. Please think of that next time, Universal.
yawn.....

I bought EFC because it looked interesting and I like most of Roddenberrys work generally. But it all came to nothing for me unfortunately. New age space aliens come to earth offering help to mankind, but hiding some sinister agenda. The special effects are awful, cheap computer generated images. The story lines are flat and dull, and don't get better. And what's with the tealon walking around like animated shop dummies? They just make me laugh hysterically, what with the platform boots. It just lacks good imagination and originality. If you want good science fiction, see X Files or DS9. Or talk to your friendly conspiracy theorist down your local pub. Don't bother with EFC.
Worth the wait

I'm admittedly a stalwart Earth: Final Conflict fan, but even if I wasn't, I think I'd be thrilled with this DVD set. The fan community is in general agreement that the first season is the most solid. It does tend to be a little more cerebral than its subsequent seasons, but in a very nicely-done way. It has its action moments, but they don't overpower the rest of the show, and because they're not prevalent, they tend to be that much more special when they are there.
Characters and developments are generally not outlandish: while many sci-fi shows will have a gadget-of-the-week which is never heard from again, season 1 E: FC on the whole avoids that particular pitfall. Characters also generally behave in a consistent (and sensible) way, which makes them more engaging, sympathetic and believable.
The special effects are exceptional for a first-time low(ish)-budget television production from 1997, though a few of the SFX shots do look quite dated in comparison to 2006 standards. Others still hold up very well.
The only slight gripe that I have is that you don't get a whole lot more than just the episodes. The strength of the episodes means that this is not much of a problem in the long run. It's very solid science-fiction, and tries not to patronise its audience or subject them to gung-ho action with be-catsuited women.
Great TV
