Wordiezett So much average

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

GUENOT PHILIPPE OK I prefer OUTER LIMITS as a sci-fi genre TV show. This one I am talking about today is a genuinely interesting one too. I would say it's a sort of domestic science fiction kind show. A way to describe the improvements made by the scientists for the human kind. And all the negative effects that they can also bring. The characters are shown as ordinary citizens, so that the audiences may feel very close to them. Most of the leads work in their homes in the suburbs, most of the épisodes look like the other ones. No aliens here, or space opera here. But it's not boring at all. I just prefer OUTER LIMITS, that's all. The music theme is riveting.I really don't regret to have found it.

Joe I've noticed lately that Science Fiction Theater is available on DVD for the entire run of the show. But it does look as if it's made from available sources. That usually means it could have a lot of poor quality images by being made from old VHS recordings. Just wondered if anyone has purchased the set, and if so, is it worth the money? I've seen it advertised at $49.99 from the source, which doesn't seem to be a mainstream distributor, and also on e-bay for prices about $29.99 stating that it is for new un-opened sets. But I guess at that price it would be worth it even if it isn't great quality.It was always a treat to watch it back in 1956 and 1957. I think it was the first show of it's type that I had encountered. Watched it once and I was hooked. Had to see it every chance I got after that. Being only 8 years old in 1956, I still have fond memories of it. And as someone else mentioned the parabolic disc antenna, yeah, it caught my eye too. There was one almost exactly like it atop the Southern California Edison building in Pomona, California. I gazed at it every time my parents would drive past that building. Wondered what secrets it held!

bill-790 Science Fiction Theater (1955-1957) stands out as perhaps the most intriguing and intelligent of all TV science fiction shows. I remember watching the series as a 13 or 14 year old when it first aired. Only recently have I obtained a DVD of the entire series, and I am happy to say that I have not had to change my original opinion of SF Theater.The stories are solid, the actors, easily identifiable from duty in many feature films, are excellent. And, as an added bonus, it turns out that the series was filmed in color! SF Theater was not the only 50s series to be filmed in color, but it was nevertheless among a very small minority in that respect.As someone else pointed out, the intelligent introductions by Truman Bradley are a real plus and add an air of authenticity to the stories. (Compare that aspect of SF Theater with the idiotic stories and tone of "Lost in Space" a decade later!) Finally, I would submit that these excellent shows are a good example of what can be done to tell a complete story in just 25 minutes. Too bad so many of today's movie makers need 120+ minutes to make their points.

bjhsurfers This terrific, imaginative sci-fi anthology TV series was the first intelligent, dramatic sci-fi anthology series made for television, and lasted two seasons, 1955-1957. It was produced by legendary sci-fi and nature film producer Ivan Tors, for Bernard Ziv, of ZIV-TV Productions, and featured well-written half-hour episodes, many based on sci-fi short stories from sci-fi pulp magazines of the 1940s and 1950s; what it lacked in visual effects was often made up for by fine writing, acting, production values and direction. Host Truman Bradley was perfect to announce each eerie story of the week, as well as add a few words at the end of each program on how science could solve a mystery. Underrated by today's standards, this was one of TV's finest dramatic series of the 1950s, featuring many famous B-movie stars in fascinating roles. Highly recommended!
