DVD Reviews of The 4400 - The Complete Fourth Season

DVD Review: The 4400 complete 4th season
Summary: 5 Stars

The 4400 is a fantastic series and the final season just reinforces that. I love the character interaction and the special effects are fantastic.

DVD Review: The 4400 - The Complete Fourth Season
Summary: 5 Stars

Would you take the promision shot? This is the season when some took the shot and manifested 4400, special, abilities. The series could have continued after this season but the ending of this season made it a great send off and ending.

DVD Review: Still worth watching
Summary: 4 Stars

This the fourth and final season of 4400, unless the network brings them back. The only reason I did not give this five stars is the ending. Be forewarned, seasons 1-3 were good, season for is very good, but ends mid-story.

Other than that, if you enjoy Sci-Fi, give this show a viewing. The premise of the series is pretty cool; 4400 people (almost all Americans, ironically) were abducted from various times and returned at the same time with special gifts.[powers]

By season four the characters are getting developed in way that is defineately interesting, however one can tell that the writers are making some up on the fly. They probably were not sure if they were getting one or two more seasons; anyway it is worth watching. If you do, make sure you at least send an e mail to the network ( I think it's CBS) to request another season. They end it when it[storyline] is going real good.

Do not start with season four, start with first season.

DVD Review: A Worthy End to an Interesting Series
Summary: 4 Stars

The 4400 has had a bumpy ride. Canceled, given a reprieve, and then done to death by low ratings and the writer's strike, it hits its stride at last in the fourth and final season and delivers a satisfying send off. Season four is not without its problems, however.

This last season focuses on the crisis caused by the widespread dissemination of the Promicin shot. Anyone willing to risk their lives can have a 50/50 chance of receiving a power...but those that don't get a power, die. While NTAC struggles vainly to put the Promicin genie back in its bottle, Jordan Collier's movement transforms into a true cult of personality.

The plots in the fourth season finally move away a bit from the "mutant of the week" format that plagued earlier episodes. Unfortunately, there is one very silly plot arc about body snatchers from the future called the Marked that takes up a lot of screen time, and is almost completely uninteresting. Couldn't the writers have come up with better villains than this? Oh well. The real excitement in season 4 comes from watching Jordan Collier's machinations and his conflict with the more moderate Shawn Baldwin. Bill Campbell once again steals the show as Jordan Collier. He is both menacing and charming, and leaves viewers genuinely unsure of his intentions right up to the end of the show. Patrick Flueger also does a good job as a conflicted leader trying to walk a middle path. Other actors are fine, with no particular standouts.

Another gripe with the 4400 is the tendency of actors to quickly be written out of the show, with little explanation or aftermath for their departure. Billy Campbell took time off from the show to sail around the world in an earlier season, and the show suffered for it. The main character's wife disappears this season, and after an episode of moping, he's in bed with a new beautiful female lead. That was fast. Richard and Lily Tylor re-appear to almost no purpose late in the season, and are gone just as fast. Why bother bringing them back at all? They don't move the story forward.

Minor complaints aside, I enjoyed this last season. The show ends on an ambiguous note, and I hope a TV movie can be worked out to clear things up for fans.

It's a pet peeve of mine when watching television on DVD that sometimes clicking the "next" button not only skips the, "previously on" recap at the beginning of each episode, but also the beginning of the new episode. That doesn't happen here. I don't know who worked on putting the actual DVD together, but the chapters are logical, and easy to navigate. Thanks!

DVD Review: getting better
Summary: 4 Stars

This season is much better than the other three, darker and more vicious! Hoping that the 5th season will be even better!

Description of The 4400 - The Complete Fourth Season

Over the last century thousands of people have gone missing. Suddenly and inexplicably 4400 missing people are returned all at once exactly as they were on the day they vanished. Unclear what this world-altering event means the government investigates the 4400 to piece together where they've been and why they've been returned. It quickly becomes apparent that their presence will change the human race in ways no one could have foreseen.System Requirements:Running Time: 561 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 097368525047 Manufacturer No: 852504

There's nothing like a psych-out to shake things up. In The 4400's fourth season opener, everyone has taken the medicine Jordan Collier (Billy Campbell) distributed in year three, and all's right with the world. Then he wakes up from his dream. In truth, promicin helps some and harms others. Soon, Shawn (Patrick Flueger) emerges from his coma and Isabelle (Megalyn Echikunwoke), who tried to kill him, escapes from prison. As for NTAC, agents Tom (Joel Gretsch) still mourns the missing Alana, while Diana (Jacqueline McKenzie) returns to work when she finds out her sister, April (Natasha Gregson Wagner), has taken the shot. As the season continues, promicin-related strangeness accelerates, like the outcast (Cameron Bright) who becomes a messiah--and insists his followers only listen to TV on the radio--or the librarian (Constance Towers) who can astral project. An attractive new NTAC supervisor, Meghan Doyle (Jenni Baird), joins Tom and Diana to monitor the positives and those they affect, including Tom's son, Kyle (Chad Faust), who helps Collier establish Seattle's Promise City, an all-positive community. As ever, shades of grey dominate, and anyone can change at any time. Even an NTAC agent can become one of the Marked.

The fourth year ends with a viral outbreak, followed by the death of a key character. For the most part, though, the conclusion holds out hope for relations between the positives and the rest of the population--if they can stop the Marked in time. Because the USA Network chose not to renew the show, some questions may never be answered. Fortunately, The 4400 went out with both humor and heart. Extra features include deleted scenes, featurettes, a blooper reel, and commentary from creator Scott Peters on "Till We Have Built Jerusalem" and the director's cut of final? "The Great Leap Forward." --Kathleen C. Fennessy
