Good selections at a good price, May 31, 2009
This review is from: The Ultimate Sci-Fi Collection (DVD)
Good selections, but not great. While these 14 films include bona fide, must-see masterpieces of the genre, there are a couple of rather cheesy choices: Irwin Allen's "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" and the similarly shlocktastic "The Neptune Factor." Still, you're getting value for money in the other dozen movies. If you want to build a science-fiction DVD library, this is a fine, economical place to start. It's frequently available from Amazon Marketplace sellers for under $50. There are double-disc sets for six of the films: "The Abyss," "Independence Day," "Escape from New York," "Planet of the Apes" (the 1968 original), and both "Alien" and "Aliens" (a rare instance of a sequel surpassing the initial film). "Mad Max" is the special edition. The remaining films are "Rollerball," "Fantastic Voyage," "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (the 1959 original), "The Fly" (the 1958 black-and-white horror classic), and "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (the 1951 black-and-white Cold War classic).

buyer beware, February 11, 2010
This review is from: The Ultimate Sci-Fi Collection (DVD)
A good collection, and some first rate movies. So far as I know, however, The Abyss has yet to be remastered in anamorphic format, thus, it's more than likely that the copy of the film in this collection is the same old transfer that was first released nearly a decade ago. On a big, new monitor, it will look pretty poor, and, unless you zoom in, it will be a small little picture in the centre of the screen. Better to wait for the inevitable blu-ray of the film, and the equally inevitable re-mastered DVD release.
