4.0 out of 5 stars Dark Skies is Nostalgic, August 9, 2008

By 

Irishman65 "irishman65" (NYC, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dark Skies (DVD)

Eric Close was excellently cast in this period piece. He is reminiscent of a combination Fox and Scully from X-Files, first more like Scully, not believing the alien cover-up and being shocked and then evolving into Fox, who believes. The shows special effects left something to be desired considering when it was produced but had the vintage feel of classic science fiction. The plot was executed in an uneven fashion and stayed surprisely dark in tone. The series never really evolved into what it had the potential to be but is worth a look if you remember The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and to a more limited degree, The X-Files fondly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Creative Ideas, September 14, 2008

This review is from: Dark Skies (DVD)

Dark Skies was one of the most creative Sci Fi series, with the writers tying real historical events into the story line. The most appealing thing about the story lines, was the fact that Dark Skies' explanation of the events were usually about as plausible as any other explaination of what happened. It left you wondering "if there is any truth in it". Since the whole concept was a period piece, I never had a problem with special effects, as I am sure the idea was to make it in the form of a 50's-60's Sci-Fi piece. There are numerous scientists and investigators, who believe that there is a lot of truth to some of the stories. I found it to be a lot more interesting than any of the other Sci-Fi efforts in the last several years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wher is it?, August 2, 2006

By 

Khaadim One "MZHAB" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dark Skies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

One of the most enjoyable sci-fi programmes ever made has two real-life amazing mysteries:
1) That it never made it inot a second series, and
2) That it is impossible to purchase.
As far as I can tell, there is no DVD version and the VHS is seemingly impossible to track down. If anyone reading this can help in any way to point me in the right direction or to speak to anyone in the know who could possibly get this wonderful piece of tv history put onto DVD and released, then PLEASE let me know.
Anyone who's never seen it - you're missing out on something fabulous.
