Alien Dawn

I watched Alien Dawn for the first time last week, and I thought it had a great storyline (clever). Kids will enjoy this and no sex/ drugs/ violence! Aaron Sauter's performance (Aaron plays 16 y.o. "Cameron Turner," the main character) was first rate and in my opinion he carried the show.....his character is believable and held my attention (Kudos to the casting director!). I also enjoyed actress Hilary Greer's performance as the character "Ruby Turner," the mother of Cameron Turner; her veritable Tina-Fey-plays-June-Cleaver presentation was both unexpected and fun, and truly in keeping with a comic book persona. Will I watch this again? Absolutely, I am hooked on the storyline.

Finally a kids show I can get excited about. This is the first live action series in decades that got my attention. I just hope the rest of the season is as good as the pilot. If it is, this show is going to be a classic. I loved the characters and the fact that it was shot in New York. I love that it's not dumbed down to children. Kids are a lot smarter than the industry gives them credit for! I would have killed to have a cool show like this when I was a kid. I watched it at a friends house and he has an eleven year old son. He recorded it and watched it again the next day. He got super excited about the little clues that seem to be in it. I know he's going to watch it next week to see if the clues pan out. If they do, this show is going to be like the next Star Trek. On a side note, I can't understand why anyone would give this show one star. That's just crazy. They must of thought they were voting on the movie from a which is completely different thing.

Both my husband and I enjoyed the show very much. The comic book set up going back and forth with reality really kept it interesting. The characters (teen boys) were cute and believable. Boris was the perfect friend who knows what to do even though he was a bit of a nerd. He is very likable and adorable. I think there was a movie called Alien Dawn done a few years back and this show might be confused with that mediocre movie... I hope not. I don't usually watch Nick Tunes but we saw a preview and decided to check it out. Glad we did! I was a little confused at the beginning of the show but then figured out who the speaker was and then understood what was going on. I loved the geek friends of Boris... they had all the answers. The only thing I wasn't really good with was the music playing during the skateboarding scenes. It reminded me of that Flight of the Bumble Bee music. My husband is a little deaf and had the TV volume up too high so that music got on my nerves. If the volume was down, I probably wouldn't even have noticed that much. We are looking forward to the next episode!

I viewed the new NickToon series Alien dawn last night. It was the pilot episode but set the stage for the series. I am quite excited to have a show with some suspenseful intrigue combined with real life school situations. I look forward to the show now each Friday night. Boris really made the show for me with his true to life emotions and expressions. It was comical how he kept up the resistance to the bully while being placed head first into a garbage can! True passion! The story line narrated through the comic strip is a great concept. Not sure what to expect in each scene. The story was developing throughout the show. Can't wait for the next episode.

First thoughts: this kids/teens show has no business being this good. I would have loved it as a teen and enjoyed still as an adult. Discovered this gem on Tubi in 2024. I loved the artwork, the special effects, and the storyline was engaging. I appreciated how it let me escape our current global woes and imagine a battle to save Earth (rather than our current direction with Earth). It's a serious enough topic, but done in a way that doesn't feel so heavy. I laughed and caught myself wanting more, not caring to guess what should happen next. The artwork is quite impressive and is one of the reasons I turned to IMDB for more information on this show, 'Alien Dawn'. This show could be a precursor to a youth's love for sci-fi. These past few years, shows thought to be forgotten have gotten reboots or their stories completed. Would be nice to see this one get the same treatment. We're streaming more these days and changing the landscape of which motion pictures are filmed and presented and consumed. Kudos to this team for making this story and letting me check out of reality for a bit.
