4.0 out of 5 stars Outer Limits 45th Anniversary Edition, October 26, 2008

By	FranticInFresno "Fresno14" (Fresno, CA USA) - See all my reviews

A single release of this 60's SciFi series was a welcome addition to my DVD video collection.

A recent visit to the local best buy clocked the series at nearly $100 for the three individual volumes. BB had this new single set priced at a savings of 50%.

I was impressed with crisp clean EZ to use menus. The B/W video and Mono audio quality was excellent.

I did miss bonus extras, and the lack of closed captions for those of us with less than perfect hearing was also sorely missed.

Others have mention problems with the double sided discs. My toshiba DVD player had NO such troubles. Either disc quality has improved, or maybe these other people just need to upgrade their hardware.

While the "monster" FXs are very dated, the stories have held up well over the years. All in all, enjoyable to watch.

4 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an amazing 45 years, October 20, 2008

By	D. Allen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When my father first watched this, he would have been about eight or nine years old. Growing up myself, Outer Limits has been one of my classical favorites. What's even more amazing, is that after forty five years, this show is still considered great. Now my father is in his fifties and I'm in my twenties, and quite amazingly we still enjoy this show even after all this time. It's even more amazing that you can watch this movie nearly anywhere, from your laptop computer, to your dvd player at home. If anything, the very fact that you can watch this anywhere would have been science fiction at the time when Outer Limits first appeared. Outer Limits was very close to Twilight Zone, with the exception that it was an hour long (although Twilight Zone had a few hour long episodes), and most of the episodes were based on alien concepts, robots, or dimensional concepts. Like Twilight Zones, you see many famous actors/actresses appearing on the show. One comes to mind would be Leonard Nimoy in "I, Robot" which was a great episode.

I highly recommend this collection. You will enjoy it a lot. It is in the original black and white, and each episode is about fifty minutes long and you get forty nine episodes in total, the entire collection. There is one problem though, and that is the dvds are given in double sided dvds. Which is fine and all, but after so many usage, you get a lot of finger prints on one side or the other.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful journey!, January 11, 2009

By	Jim Boy C (Silver Spring, MD) - See all my reviews

This is the real deal. The original series and a wonderful journey into creative story telling science fiction.
As a kid I was not allowed to see this show. Too "scary" I guess. But I was able to sneek in a couple of episodes when the sitter was watching us. I never forgot what a show it was. So now I have the whole set and it is a treasure to watch. In all it's wonderful black and white tight, artistic stories and camera work. Who cares if it was low tech, frankly that made it even scarier! For hard core fans you must get the Outer Limits Companion by David J. Schow. There you will find the behind the scenes info and pictures on all the episodes and how it was born by creative gurus Leslie Stevens and Joseph Stefano. For any creative type you will appreciate the determination by this team to get it on the air and fight for budget and script quality. Add this to your collection of classics.I have viewed most episodes and the disc quality has improved over other OL collections of the past. You are about to participate in a great adventure!
