Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Jimbeau4 Not much to add to all these glowing reports, other than to say that I agree with them. Like many other shows that I hadn't seen for forty five years, I had bits and pieces of memories from this one, all of them pleasant. Now that I'm watching them again, I'm really enjoying them. Because this series was targeted at adults, it hasn't lost any charisma, even though the quality of the prints is erratic and some of them are downright poor. The show holds up better than any other from the distant past. All a viewer has to do is be able to immerse themselves into the world of the fifties. Science was just starting to take off and we were all filled with wonderment. At the time this show was filmed, man hadn't yet launched a satellite, transistors were so new that there were no radios available yet, polio had just been cured, the cold war and fear of the bomb was front & center, etc. In the stories presented, the betterment of mankind is the theme. They are haunting, but good wins over evil. I'm grateful that they were saved for viewing. Truman Bradley is the perfect host and the music rings in my ears.
freki-2 I have lived in a science fiction universe (I should say multi-verse) all my life. I have very fond memories of this series which I found to be, for the most part based on real science, or at least that's how I remember it. Recently I began trying to find a down-loadable copy of the theme. The format doesn't really matter. I think my computer can handle most formats. In my searches, I have been able to find numerous other themes that I remember with great nostalgia, but not the main subject of my search. I did find it on another occasion, but didn't download it at the time. And naturally, I neglected to bookmark the site. If anyone can help I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance.
Coffymix When this show came out I was in the 3rd grade and we would make sure to watch it.The reason being is that our teacher would ask us questions about it the following day.This show was so ahead of it's time that everybody in our school room wanted to be a scientist.the show itself did not last long,but it left a big impression on all of us.Even the theme song was nice to listen to,it made you feel that it was written especially for it.I wish they'll bring back that show like they,ve done with so many other shows as reruns.I miss those shows very much.
bjhsurfers This terrific, imaginative sci-fi anthology TV series was the first intelligent, dramatic sci-fi anthology series made for television, and lasted two seasons, 1955-1957. It was produced by legendary sci-fi and nature film producer Ivan Tors, for Bernard Ziv, of ZIV-TV Productions, and featured well-written half-hour episodes, many based on sci-fi short stories from sci-fi pulp magazines of the 1940s and 1950s; what it lacked in visual effects was often made up for by fine writing, acting, production values and direction. Host Truman Bradley was perfect to announce each eerie story of the week, as well as add a few words at the end of each program on how science could solve a mystery. Underrated by today's standards, this was one of TV's finest dramatic series of the 1950s, featuring many famous B-movie stars in fascinating roles. Highly recommended!
