5.0 out of 5 stars ORIGINALLY MADE IN 1.85 WIDESCREEN, January 25, 2009
By Paul Scott (CENTRAL COAST,, N.S.W. Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Fantastic Films of Ray Harryhausen - Legendary Science Fiction Series (It Came from Beneath the Sea / Earth vs. the Flying Saucers / 20 Million Miles to Earth / Mysterious Island / H.G. Wells' First Men in the Moon) (DVD)
These films,were in fact filmed in either 1,85 or 1,66,both Widescreen for the cinemas.
Being a Projectionist working in the 50's I can vouch that these films were all presented in Widescreen.
So as one reviewer puts it,these are not fake Widescreen'but are being presented as they were originally filmed.
Had to clear that up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Before Star Wars & LOTR, December 8, 2004
By James D. Porter (Waco, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Fantastic Films of Ray Harryhausen - Legendary Science Fiction Series (It Came from Beneath the Sea / Earth vs. the Flying Saucers / 20 Million Miles to Earth / Mysterious Island / H.G. Wells' First Men in the Moon) (DVD)
I saw these films on those rainy Saturday afternoon movie presentations on tv during the 60's & 70's when I was growing up on a farm in central Texas. I liked em then and I still like em in spite of all the cgi efx we now enjoy on film. There was something special about these movies that you just have to experience to appreciate. Like OZ and King Kong- the old efx are sometimes the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars FX Genius, January 11, 2005
By Gary E. ERTMAN (Kissimmee, Fl) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Fantastic Films of Ray Harryhausen - Legendary Science Fiction Series (It Came from Beneath the Sea / Earth vs. the Flying Saucers / 20 Million Miles to Earth / Mysterious Island / H.G. Wells' First Men in the Moon) (DVD)
I have every Ray Harryhausen film on VHS...now I am near completion of the DVD versions. Here is a man who did not
need computer graphics to achieve his incredible goals of
excellent special effects. He was able to entwine fact and fiction in scenes you have to see many times to appreciate
the pain staking stop motion (I've read 8 hours for just a few moments on film)that is presented. This SCI FI set is a very good indication of his genius. The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms was his first screen credit. The last known film I have is Clash of the Titans. If you want to enjoy old movies that deliver great
special effect punch...get The Fantastic Films of Ray Harryhausen
They are a credit to his profession.

Don't waste your money if you're looking for a colorized version of these movies. Three of the five are black and white. What a disappointment!

3.0 out of 5 stars Awful, yet fun
It's important to recognise that these are 1950s/early 60s sci fi, and not the best sci fi, either. But at $6 a disk you get several hours of silly fun for your money; and the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Harryhausen
A wonderful representation of Harryhausen creativity. Stop-motion gives a more surrealistic and fantastic presentation, than the CG technical marvels of today can give.
