Movie Reviews of The Outer Limits - The Original Series, Season 1
Movie Review: Very happy to see this series on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the first great sci-fi TV series, with excellent direction and writing. All black and white episodes, with a mix of good and not-so-good effects and production values (depending on budget at the time). Worth the time to watch.Movie Review: five stars for mayjor episodes six for the Sixth Finger, Man Never Born, and OBIT.
Summary: 5 Stars
The First season is the best and don't even bother with the second, it was nothing but a B&W "Night Gallery" crap shot. The funds ran out, why I cannot speculate as this was a high quality and believable(if at times campy-who cares!) Sci Fi series. It has stories of profound insite tugging on both emotions and sentiments. I can't think of a better way of telling or presenting short stories of pure science ficton than this.-Twilight Zone is of a different format all together-scocial science in reverse. Most actors are well known today and guest stars appeared regularly to gain the believablity it deserved. Such actors as David Macallum, Martin Landau, and Robert Culp as well as the depute appearenc of Sally Kellerman make these stories and characters outlast Time. Dominic Frontire's music is fantastic, depicting the theme's grim, yet grandeous vastness of space and the future to more minor subtile themes of the dim and vagueness of the eerie odd and alienly conventional behaviors of the future on a more day to day level. No odvious over the top stuff like today. No one noticed that Obit's court room had automatic sliding doors for example. Of course the New Outer Limits(1990's series) is just as good, sometimes even better, a rarity in a sci fi rehash the 90's sci fi sucking flies otherwise.Movie Review: excellent series
Summary: 5 Stars
There is incredible atmosphere in each episode. Sure you will chuckle at the often corny costumes but hey...this was cutting edge in the sixties!
It's creepy, serious, dramatic, and sometimes comical. The stories and dialogue are well thought out and the acting is well done. When the opening music comes on; I still get chills. It really does transport you to another place. Highly recommended!
Movie Review: Cheaply made DVDs or what?
Summary: 1 Stars
I sent the first DVD back because it kept stopping in the middle of scenes and getting stuck. After receiving the replacement DVD, it worked fine but then started doing the same thing. I think when mass duplicating these DVDs they must write them at very high speeds which may corrupt a few, or many for that fact. I've tried it in other DVD players and it does the same thing. My other DVDs work just fine. I think these must have been cheaply made (probably in Mexico like the Brady Bunch DVDs). I will not buy any more Outer Limits DVDs. Very disappointed.Movie Review: There is plenty wrong with your DVD.
Summary: 1 Stars
The irony of the first words "there is nothing wrong with your DVD player" is apparent minutes into the third episode on disc 3 where we get freeze, stutter, freeze, stutter so on and so on until the original enthusiasm for the series completely leaves you. Then your annoyance grows bigger and bigger when this happens to almost all the following episodes until you want to throw your DVD player across the room. "Now there is plenty wrong with your DVD player". These studios blow loud about piracy but don't give a damn about giving customers quality products. This is my second time around as I had the same problem with this set already and lost my money because I didn't get around to the third and fourth discs until months later. Once is bad enough, twice is..... I don't care about this series any more.
