Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

borismk-38942 While the visuals are fairly jawdropping and the action deserves a lot of credit, it's a shame the characters spoil the story. While you can see that there are a few attempts at nuance the fact that much of this boils down the teens being right and the adults being bad destroys this for me. The moral approach to alien culture is fairly human-centric (starfleet would be appalled)to the point where one of the characters does the alien equivalent of blackface and then has a go at an alien when they get offended. Defiance is aptly named since it quite clearly defies logic

Miroslav V. This show has lots of potential: great post apocalyptic world, few good characters, many alien races but I think writers and directors RUINED show. some dialogues are too bored and crucial scenes seems like shortened.(fast paced) First and second seasons are average BUT I think this TV show worth watching because final season!

SnoopyStyle It's 2046 and over 30 years since aliens travel to Earth. Failed diplomacy, a devastating war and mysterious destruction of the alien ships known as Arkfall led to the planet transformed and human civilization battered. Survivors from different alien species are trying to coexist uneasily in Defiance, what once was St. Louis. Joshua Nolan (Grant Bowler) and his Irathient adopted daughter Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas) arrive. He's put in charge of security of the town run by mayor Amanda Rosewater (Julie Benz). Datak Tarr (Tony Curran) and his wife Stahma (Jaime Murray) are manipulative and ambitious with their rebellious son Doc Yewll. Doc Yewll is an Indogene who tends to have superior technological knowledge.This is an unabashed sci-fi show. That's its strength as well as its weakness. It's overloaded with aliens, technology and futurism. The only thing missing is space travel. I would have preferred fewer kinds of aliens. It's questionable how such an alien menagerie could survive together before arriving on Earth. The future technologies require a lot of CGI and it pushes the limits for a TV show with budget limitations. The story is more in-line with an old fashion western. It has some interesting bits but this is for sci-fi fanatics only.

steefan-92 This show started as every other low budget sci-fi show as of last couple years.It began as average TV show with same old style in different colors, that we had seen few dozen times.However, since sci-fi shows were so rare I kept watching it for just sake of it.Second season though took turn for better and surprised many of us.Show kept pushing limits and outcome was pleasant,decent TV sci-fi show, which kept you wonder what is going to happened next.Ending was in my opinion, very well laid out and it gave this show opportunity for richer, more intense plot and we received that.Third season started slowly but it escalated around 4-5 episode.Last 3 episodes were nothing less short than excellent.I can't wait to see how will this all turn out in the end, since season is not over and I don't want to spoil anything for those who didn't watch it.In the end , my verdict may be affected by rarity of sci-fi shows, however I honestly think that this is one among the best that is currently airing and if you like this genre you shouldn't miss it.Edit: With season 3 over I think this show had gotten a definite ending in big bang way (well I don't know idiom exactly but you will understand if you keep reading, meaning of this).So this TV show had rough time during season 3, because even though from half of season number of viewers increased, it was nothing compare to second season viewers rating.So Sci-fy decided to lead this season to grand ending, so even if they don't renew for season 4 , shows gets what it deserve in very enjoyable and memorable way.What I am saying is this, ending has left me speechless,I am so used to average or terrible season finales or endings that this caught me by surprise and that's common opinion of anyone who watched this show since it start with airing (well not everyone of course but vast majority)My personal wish and opinion is that they should leave at season 3 and move on, besides some loose ends that couldn't be wrapped in one episode, there really isn't anything worth or if you prefer to hold water, I simply have a feeling that 4th season would be sufficient but then again is not up to me to say, so from 8 I will give this show 9 because it simply deserves it.
