  The best Alien/UFO mini-series yet
Review created: 09/27/05

Wether you believe in Aliens and UFO's or not, this is the best mini-series (on the topic) of all time. Speilberg did a fantastic job! Too bad Lucas hasn't been paying attention all these years!

  Awsome Mini Series!!!
Review created: 06/07/06(updated 02/21/08)
12 of 14 people found this review helpful.

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.

  Spielberg at his best

I had been trying to find this series at a reasonable price for sometime. I've never seen alien abductions (outside of "the X-Files") done better. It is without a doubt Steven Spielberg's work. As far as I know he has never done anything that's not first class and "Taken" is no exception. At times I found Dakota Fanning talking like she was 40 a little irritating, but I got over it. On the whole this series is a must for all Sci-Fi fans. I am glad to have it in my collection.

This masterpiece is perfect for everyone, skeptics and believers alike. Setting aside the obvious content, this series is still exceptional and emotional. The development of Taken's complex characters is done wonderfully, and the story is one that should captivate anyone. I've shown this film to many of my friends and family, everyone who watched couldn't stop watching. They've given up sleep just to see what happens next. Highly recommended!

Quite simply one of the best Sci-fi series produced. Not surprising given the source. The acting is well done. The story line diverges and converges in a manner that is at once entertaining and easy to follow. 10 DVD's sound like a challenge? Don't be surprised if you find yourself in front of the T.V. at 4 am putting yet another DVD in your player, following the Clarke's, Keyes and Crawfords on the greatest journey of discovery ever. And you will fall in love with Dakota Fanning whose talents belie her then tender years.

I accidently stumbled upon this series when they showed it recently on the Sci-Fi Channel. I didn't watch much TV back in 2003. I was immediately hooked from the first episode! Not Surprising...This DVD is the result of what you get when you combine Steven Spielberg's brilliance with our history of unaswered questions about the secrey within our government, history and the possibility of Aliens & UFO's existence in our society...This is the best series I've ever seen on TV!!! The great writing, the amazing actors, the story line and connection between all the characters...SUPERB! I only wish the series was longer!!!

This was indeed the best story on the abduction mystery that as ever been done. There is no shortage of literature on this topic and it is not just another lame attempt to explain it. Interwoven through out the 10 parts of this series contains some abduction information that was not widely reported until this series came out. I would call to your attention episode 4, "Acid Test". With out giving too much away it concerns the telepathic powers of the aliens and thier ability to "reflect" back fear and strong emotion. Well done!

This is an awesome series, kept us spellbound all Christmas vacation! We saw the series before on Sci Fi and really enjoyed it. The multi generational facet to the story just keeps you coming back for one exciting episode after another!

this series was entertaining in that it followed the different generations in the same families for several decades; from WWII up to the present. i purchased this series because it was interesting and not your typical alien film.

I had never heard of this series as I don't have cable. But with the name Spielberg I figured it had to be good. It didn't disapoint. I just wish it had been longer. Very well written and excellently acted. Very glad I bought it.

I was very impressed with the service and delivery. The product was as described. However, the first DVD of the set skipped and was very annoying to view. The vendor offered me only a small portion of the return cost. To return the product was going to cost me more because certain return services are not offered to Canadians.

Since the problem was with the product it should be up to the vendor to ensure a working copy arrives or returns are paid regardless of where they sell to.

I decided to keep the DVD and put up with the problem in order to watch the series. That was my decision and my choice.

Caution to anyone purchasing a DVD until you inquire about return policies beforehand.

Taken is the best mini series on aliens and the "truth" that has ever been made. Truly outstanding story and characters making a believable argument for what "THEY" want.

Love this kind of quality. Love the speed of service. The box was in good shape. Was packed for postal mailing. I work for the post office. If other people would pack items in the manner the movies TAKEN was packed there would be no damaged mail. Also the price I payed for the movies was priced well below other movies I have gotten in a series.

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!
