Taken (DVD, 2003)

I really hadn't heard much about this mini series until I got it. It look to have a lot of good actors in it and a interesting story line. I was blown away by the story, acting, and everything else!

The story is of three families. The mini series goes through three generations of each family and how they know each other. You have the Keys family who have been "taken" over and over by the aliens. The Clarke family who was visted in the 40's and the mom got pregnant from one of the aliens. Then you have Crawford family who is part of the Government that has been trying to figure out what the aliens want.

The story is a long one but they do it in such a way you hardly notice the time flying by. You just want to keep watching more and try to figure out how all these people fit together.

The set comes with 6 DVDS. The first five DVDs each have two episodes on it and the last DVD has extra features. Most of the extra features are looking into the making of this series.

My husband came in while I was on the 3rd disc and he said it was pretty straight forward and easy to catch up on. Even though he didn't see the whole series he still enjoyed it greatly.

This is just a great movie to watch but it does take some time to get through the whole series. I would recommend it to anyone.

I rented this series one disc at a time and I LOVED it! I loved watching the characters change over the years. Taken isn't just a snapshot in time, it's truly the whole picture, starting with three separate families who converge closer together with each generation. I must say I was disappointed with where it leaves you at the end. But really that's only a small portion of the whole; I still bought a copy for myself!
