Rating:  - Outer Limits 45th Anniversary Edition
A single release of this 60's SciFi series was a welcome addition to my DVD video collection.
A recent visit to the local best buy clocked the series at nearly $100 for the three individual volumes. BB had this new single set priced at a savings of 50%.
I was impressed with crisp clean EZ to use menus. The B/W video and Mono audio quality was excellent.
I did miss bonus extras, and the lack of closed captions for those of us with less than perfect hearing was also sorely missed.
Others have mention problems with the double sided discs. My toshiba DVD player had NO such troubles. Either disc quality has improved, or maybe these other people just need to upgrade their hardware.
While the "monster" FXs are very dated, the stories have held up well over the years. All in all, enjoyable to watch.
4 stars.
Rating:  - What an amazing 45 years
When my father first watched this, he would have been about eight or nine years old. Growing up myself, Outer Limits has been one of my classical favorites. What's even more amazing, is that after forty five years, this show is still considered great. Now my father is in his fifties and I'm in my twenties, and quite amazingly we still enjoy this show even after all this time. It's even more amazing that you can watch this movie nearly anywhere, from your laptop computer, to your dvd player at home. If anything, the very fact that you can watch this anywhere would have been science fiction at the time when Outer Limits first appeared. Outer Limits was very close to Twilight Zone, with the exception that it was an hour long (although Twilight Zone had a few hour long episodes), and most of the episodes were based on alien concepts, robots, or dimensional concepts. Like Twilight Zones, you see many famous actors/actresses appearing on the show. One comes to mind would be Leonard Nimoy in "I, Robot" which was a great episode.
I highly recommend this collection. You will enjoy it a lot. It is in the original black and white, and each episode is about fifty minutes long and you get forty nine episodes in total, the entire collection. There is one problem though, and that is the dvds are given in double sided dvds. Which is fine and all, but after so many usage, you get a lot of finger prints on one side or the other.
Rating:  - Same Old Same Old
This is merely another repackaging of the same double-sided discs foisted on us twice before. Read their press release. In "honor of the 45th anniversary" they're releasing a single box of seven double-sided discs with NO new bonus materials for a list price of $59.99. Hell, I just bought all three boxes of the last "new release" from the dust bin at Best Buy for $12 each!
Rating: - The Outer Limits Complete Series Box Set
This short-lived anthology series ran from 1963 to 1965 and featured many memorable episodes. Martin Landau stars in the sixth episode, titled "The Man Who Was Never Born", it tells an imaginative tale of an astronaut who goes through a time warp into the year 2148 and finds Earth a barren desert. He soon discovers that Mankind had been mutated by an alien microbe that had been released into the world centuries before by a scientist named Butram Cabot, Jr. In order to prevent future disaster, the astronaut brings with him one of the mutated survivors(Landau)and travels back to 1963. One of them doesn't make it through the time barrier and its up to the sole survivor to alter the future.
"Nightmare" is one of the strangest episodes of The Outer Limits. It's also one of the best, with many fine character performances by the likes of John Anderson(starred in several "Twilight Zone" episodes), James Shigeta, and Martin Sheen. The tone of "Nightmare" is dark and spellbinding. Its atmosphere sparks the imagination with silohuetted imagery and shadows that seem to stretch to infinity. The prosthetic make-up of the gargoylian Ebonites was unsurpassed by any other episode of the original Outer Limits. Joseph Stefano, the screenwriter of the Hitchcock classic Psycho, wrote and produced this terrific episode. The weird music by Dominic Frontiere and the strange sound effects help convey the other worldly "feel" of the episode.
"The Forms of Things Unknown" is the last episode written ... Read More
