ターミネーター:サラ・コナー クロニクルズ <ファースト・シーズン> コンプリート・セット (3枚組)

映画もよいですが、ドラマは映画の何倍もの時間をかけて、人物像をつくっていけるので、各登場人物になんかしたしみわいちゃいます。大人に囲まれた息子君は、何だかんだいってamenable to suggestionsですねぇ。自我をとおすようなリーダーにならずに、人の言うことを聞くリーダーになりそう、母君は、キャメロンよりロボットっぽいとか・・・

いろいろな意味で新鮮でした。見てよかったでーす。

ターミネーター2と3の物語を繋ぐ、物語です。

アメリカでドラマとして製作されていたそうです。

日本では一部の地域を除き、地上波では放送されませんでした。

ジョン・コナーが再びT-800型に追いかけられるストーリーの1部作です。

良く出来ています。

ターミネーターは2と3が好きです。

ゲームで言うメタルギアみたいな時系列ジャンジャンのターミネーターシリーズ、大好きです。空白を埋めていくのいいですね。

レビューを全て見てから購入しましたが、見終えた感想は私が期待しすぎてたのかな〜という感じです。

EP1のスタートは面白かったのですが、EP3〜EP5かな？途中から見応えがなくなりスマホをいじりながら観てました。ターミネーターシリーズはドラマ性も重要ですが、こちらはどうもアクションが少ない&迫力に欠けるように感じてしまいました…。女の私でもおおっ！いいシチュエーション！となった美女ターミネーターのキャメロンにはもっともっと暴れてほしかったですし、メインキャラとしてピックアップしてほしかったです。

そもそも映画ならまだしもドラマまで見るような方はそれこそシリーズのファンでしょうし、ファンが求めているのは "作品ごとのターミネーターの魅力" なんじゃないかなーと私は思いますけどね…

サラが主人公なのでしょうがサラが出るシーンこそ面白みがありませんでした(敵ターミネーターが不在のEPかな)。俳優の演技力どうこうじゃなくてストーリー構成の話になるのでしょうが本当に惜しいです。

みなさんがおっしゃっているようにキャメロンはめちゃくちゃいいキャラしてます！シュワちゃんターミネーターよりも人の模倣をしていて可愛いですね。

結局最後の最後でやっと面白さを取り戻してきた感じ。EP7、EP8は良かったです。

ターミネーター2や、タイムスリップに関するネタを取り入れたシーンなんかめちゃくちゃいいなーと思いましたね。こういうのでいいんだよ！ターミネーターの世界観を使えるのならもっと昇華してほしかったのになぁ〜過去、現在、未来とタイムスリップの設定上手く使えるはずなのに伏線少ないし…打ち切りになってしまったのも頷けてしまいます。

これからシーズン2観ます。

違う世界観のターミネーター。

こちらの方が本筋。

今更になり購入……届いてからまだ観てませんが(笑)

作品自体は昔テレビドラマ放送時にリアルタイムで全話観て知っています。

映画シリーズファン的にはもしかすると微妙な作品なのかも知れませんが、別物の連ドラとして割り切って観る分にはかなり楽しめる作品だと思います！

内容グダグダ書く野暮はしませんが、とりあえずキャメロンが可愛い(笑)

がイマイチ。

　ターミネーター、サラ・コナーのイメージと合わない。

　ストーリーは面白いしレベルは高い。

　男優達はは良い。

　残念な仕上がり、続きは買うけど。

今更ながら１、２、３、４、ジェニシスの後に観たが予想外に面白かった

TV版でキャストも全て代わりドラマだから気にはしていなかったが誤算だった

２が一番面白く映画館で観てLDやDVD、BDまで買うほど何回も観たお気に入り

サラコナークロニクルズも最初からアクションが飛ばしていて面白く驚愕した

味方の女ターミネーターのキャメロンも実に良い、ジョンもサラも違和感がないし良い感じ

ただラスト付近はアクション性が少なくなりドラマ性が高くなり期待が尻下がりの雰囲気で残念

アーノルドシュワルツネッガーが出なくても十分面白いターミネーターですね。

映画「ターミネーター」シリーズの第二作 (T2) と第三作 (T3) の間に位置する作品だ。

機械軍に命を狙われる息子を保護する母親の物語だから、当然重苦しく、毎回血が流れる。

タイムトリップを含めて現実離れしているのにここまでシリアスなドラマも珍しい。

ジョンを保護するために送り込まれた「女ターミネーター」キャメロンは無表情ながら不思議なキュートさがある。

キャメロンの魅力が生かされた第7話 "The Demon Hand" 「神の手」は出色の出来だ。

とはいえ、イギリスの舞台女優レナ･へディ演じるサラが主人公であることは重要。

それほど大柄でなく華奢で疲れた（憑かれた？）ような目をしたサラが息子のために思わぬ力を発揮する。

脇役もなかなか芸達者で、特に映画でも出てきたシルヴァーマン博士の回想と現実での重要な役割は脚本家の腕の見せどころ。

なお、セカンドシーズンもそれなりに見せるが、登場人物が増えて収拾がつきにくくなってしまった。

REVIEW CONTAINS SOME LIGHT SPOILERS

OK, so this show really surprised me. It works incredibly well in spite of itself. On paper, TSCC had all the makings of a franchise-killing epic fail. I'm trying to imagine how they pitched it:

"OK, so we're gonna take this big-budget chase movie that's pretty much been played out conceptually, and make it into a weekly TV series...But instead of Arnie, we're gonna put in this really hot robot chick! And the dead hero from this first movie, it turns out he has a BROTHER nobody knew about...yeah, and we got this guy from 90210 to play him! Can you believe it?! Oh, and the lead singer from a 90s rock band with no acting experience! It'll be great..."

It's an idea so wonky that only Fox would try it, resulting a show of such surprisingly high quality that only Fox would cancel it after a mere 1 1/2 seasons. TSCC turned out to be smart, tense, disturbing, and surprisingly emotional in ways that reminded me more of genre classics like Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell than the litany of StarTrek and StarGate spin-offs. Briefly (and like I said, it looks wonky on paper) - John and Sarah Connor find themselves once again the target of the SkyNet program they had thought they had 'un-made' at the end of T2 (we'll ignore T3 and T4 here, as everyone should), which has <gasp> sent a terminator back in time to kill John Connor. They are saved by another reprogrammed terminator sent back by future John Connor to protect past John Connor, and subsequently time-travel forward to 2007 in order to go on the offensive and try to destroy SkyNet before it can be created (also conveniently skipping over the 3rd movie and setting up an 'alternative timeline'). They aren't the only ones with this idea though (ignore the time-travel paradox, really, please do) and rapidly discover that the war against the machines is being fought across time, with both the human resistance and SkyNet sending back teams in order to alter the past and gain a strategic advantage in the future. The result is a show that is part mystery, part action, part coming-of-age, and part character study. Oh, and part creepy psycho-sexual tension (i'm not giving any more away on that one).

The real heart of the show is the characters, and the cast (and writers) of TSCC really do a superb job. Lena Headey has the biggest boots to fill as Sarah Connor, and manages to acquit herself well against the iconic Linda Hamilton. She takes full advantage of the TV format to flesh out Sarah Connor as a person, and seems to really enjoy asking the question "what is Sarah Connor like when nobody is shooting at her." Thomas Dekker takes over from Edward Furlong as a 15 year old John Connor, and despite my initial reservations he makes some very smart choices with the character. His angsty, guyliner victimized grungy teenage John Connor really gets under my skin a few times during the first season, but in the same way that an actual angsty, guyliner victimized grungy teenager would. This is a John Connor that needs to grow up, and the initial frustration I have with the character makes his maturation later in the series much more rewarding as a viewer. Derek Reese, brother of John Connor's deceased father Kyle, makes his way into the show in the middle of the first season portrayed by none other then Brian Austin Green. I really didn't think the guy had it in him, but he does an excellent job with a gritty and morally complicated character, so much so that I actually forget he was in 90210 most of the time I'm watching him. They are backed by a supporting cast including the fantastic Richard T Jones as an FBI agent struggling to reconcile his religious faith with the discovery that Sarah Connor might not be crazy after all, and Dean Winters as Sarah's paramedic fiance she left at the alter but whom John brings crashing back into their lives at a moment of crisis.

The real stand-out though is the terminator Cameron, played by the much-loved geek princess Summer Glau. While it's perfectly reasonable to assume high praise for Glau is just collateral Whedon-worship from Firefly, I must object in this case and recommend actually watching the series to see why. Glau has the difficult task of stripping as much human texture and expression from Cameron as possible, then turning right back around and serving as the emotional flash-point for most of the major character drama in the series. Where most science fiction falls woefully short is by anthropomorphizing the 'other' (alien, robot, whatever) into a completely human character that just looks physically different. A prime example is the mega-hit Avatar, or as I like to call it "Dances with Wolves in Space." Where I think Glau (and the writers) really stand out in TSCC (and what I don't think the series gets nearly enough credit for) is never letting the characters or the audience forget that Cameron is not human, and never will be. She is simultaneously curious, naive, and lacking in malice, yet capable of shocking violence and the kind of sociopathic problem solving that values human life only as it relates to John Connor's survival. Glau's performance as Cameron is critical to most of the really interesting things that happen as the story unfolds, and she walks a very fine line with near perfect balance. I can't imagine the show working with anyone else.

So having heaped praise on Glau, you might guess that the relationship between John and Cameron (and it's affect on everyone else) is the big character conflict in the story, and you would be correct. TSCC manages to eschew or outright mock just about every bad coming-of-age story cliche, and moreover they use Cameron to ask a lot of existential questions that fly under the radar if all you are doing is watching for the explosions. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of explosions, gunfights, and enough general mayhem to suit an action franchise, but that's only half the story, and the less interesting half at that. The show manages to weave carefully from touching and hopeful to disturbing and sinister with surprising agility, and thankfully never plays any of the character relationships for cheap gags or contrived attention-grabbing scenes. If anything, it's the really subtle moments between characters that have the most impact, which is a rare thing in sci fi TV.

In terms of episode quality, I will warn you that the first season starts out a bit inconsistently. Every episode has at least a few scenes in it that really shine, but there is definitely an adjustment that goes on in the first half of the season before the writers and actors really settle into the characters in a way that feels completely consistent. After that though, there is a solid trajectory that propels the series straight through to the end, with only the occasional squabble between the producer and the network about including a few 'stand alone episodes' that seems to plague every serialized TV show.

I'd highly recommend TSCC to just about anyone with even a passing interest in science fiction storytelling, though I suspect that your enjoyment of this series may have an inverse relationship to your enjoyment of T3/T4.

This is one of the very good shows out there. Also a very good example of how an actor change should be made when you have no other choice. Each members of the cast is an absolute homage to the first portrayal of their characters, not only as concepts, but as developing ones. And while many will tell you this does not take in account the events of T3 and T4, in a certain way it does. I strongly recommend you listen to the 4 previous movies before going back in time with Cameron to this one.

All will make more sense then. And if it doesn't, then listen carefully to the Chronicles and Gynesis for time travel explanations.

Carefully. And then it will make more sense.

I was half expecting a complicated show with lots of time travel... this was not it. It's a decent follow-up on the "Judgment Day" era. Meaning that it concentrate itself with "how do you live your life when you know you must save a world that does not care and acts hostile towards your efforts?". No fan service either. Cameron and John having a love interested would have been too easy... And this shows plays with that rather well.

Terminator : SCC is the utmost tentative to tell the story of the humans in the franchise. It's the tale of a broken family which in many ways is saner than society wants them to be. But it also is tech savvy with it's apocalyptic theories, pulling on real-world computer science for it's debates while proposing believable post singularity cyborgs. A few inconsistencies in this first season, but not much. And certainly far less than many shows of the first decade of the 2000s. (Terminator parts surviving time travel without skin and cosmetic surgery done perfectly in a few hours to go from 3rd degree burns like to perfect fit for a known actor.)

It does also good to expand the universe to a point where a good RPG campaign guide could have been created.

And does it while serving a decent amount of action scenes, nice close-combat fights, well thought out sci-fi and naked time-travellers.

Muy buena serie, aunque las historia se desvia un poco de la trilogia original de terminator. Pero esta muy bien lograda. Ya espero conseguir la segunda temporada.

Aucun acteur / actrice n'est apparu dans un film de la franchise. Néanmoins leur jeu à l'écran, soutenu par de très bons effets spéciaux, collent le spectateur (dont moi) devant la TV.

Tu "hésitais".... ben plus maintenant, vas-y !!

Ottimo ! Adoro questa serie peccato che non l'abbiano continuata :c

Aveva un buon potenziale davvero spero la riprendano prima o poi
