A Pretty Decent Effort, March 25, 2002
This review is from: Y2K Family Survival Guide [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I tend to procrastinate quite a bit, and just got around to watching this. It gives a sobering perspective of what happened just two short years ago. Now that society has essentially broken down, the advice in this video is a must have. I deducted two stars because Nimoy didn't wear Spock ears. I would have taken it much more seriously, as Spock never engaged in hyperbole. Also, without the Spock ears, Nimoy was unable to calculate probabilities with any substantive accuracy. Had Nimoy engaged in such shoddy work aboard the Enterprise, Kirk would have been dead early in the series, and there would have been no one available to gallavant through space kissing alien women while speaking in halting dramatic speech.

Leonard Nimoy Saves My Life...Twice!, September 11, 2011
This review is from: Y2K Family Survival Guide [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Thank God I had bought this movie in 1999 before it was too late, and heeded it's words with unwavering reverence. Having followed the advice of this film to the letter, and being still alive today, I wonder sometimes what would have come had I not been enlightened. And now, the Rapture is upon us again. On December 21, 2012, we face the same imminent crisis, and there is no better a time to review the vital survival points outlined in this invaluable program. I have already begun to stock up on trash cans for toilet water, but remember, DO NOT use plastic bags for your toilet. JUST DON'T, okay?!
Thank you, Leonard Nimoy and company, for not only ensuring my survival eleven years ago, but again next year when Michele Bachmann is elected President of the United States.

WHAT AN INGENIOUS PRODUCTION !!!!!!, March 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Y2K Family Survival Guide [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video could not be a more objective review of Y2K issues to be faced in the following months. The creativity of production is in itself an award winner and an absolute visual adventure! The fact that the content can be watched by the entire family displays the intent to educate and not alarm. The directors make great strides in showing progress of various major industries, while calling attention to those companies that are not ready, one being the IRS. A must for everyone's video library!!!

This is a necessity for the months ahead., March 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Y2K Family Survival Guide [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Fantastic! A friend recommended this video to me and he was right. It was right on target. Most of us are just now starting to look at the Y2K problem and this video helps put it in perspective, where it began and where we go from here. Now I know what to do to ensure my family's well-being next year. This should be required viewing for anyone who wants to be ready for 2000.

a definite must for everyone who is concerned about y2k, March 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Y2K Family Survival Guide [VHS] (VHS Tape)
this is one of the best videos on y2k that I have seen. It is informative yet not alarmest. The explanations of the various problems that y2k can cause are easy to understand as well as the kinds of preparations that can be made. This is a very good video for the whole family to watch. Leonard Nimoy is the perfect narrator and this is coming from someone who never was a Star Trek fan!

visually awesome, non-alarmist, philosophical and practical, February 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Y2K Family Survival Guide [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Because Y2K is of real concern to me, I've seen about 5 different Y2K videos so far, and nothing comes close to this one. Maybe I'm biased because this one's hosted by Mr Spock, but this video covers everything -- history, the good, the bad, the ugly, and what to do about it. It's both philosophical and practical at the same time.

I was able to see the video and was impressed by the specific information provided on the Y2K crisis and also for the practical survival and preparedness guidelines. I loved the photography and "Spock", as always, does an excellent presentation.
