Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

mccready-906-458193 The Outer Limits was an incredible science fiction series. A lot of people compare it unfavorably to The Twilight Zone (and I mean the original Twilight Zone from the same era as this show, not the movie or remake series that are quite honestly very inferior to the original). But this show is in my opinion as good (or at least almost as good, so much so that it's practically equally) to Rod Serling's classic. Definitely check this show out, it's on DVD now. And the remake of The Outer Limits is also fantastic (not as good as the original but much better than say the remake of Twilight Zone). Check them both out if you like dark TV sci-fi.

suze-4 Yes I watched this sometimes but I was 13 and I was overdue to see it again and appreciate it more now than I am nearly 70. Suddenly, ME TV has brought it back. I happened to see an episode with Martin Landau and I was utterly dumbfounded by its excellence. I was shocked to see the beautiful and young Shirley Knight as well (the mother in As Good As It Gets). The episode was about a time conundrum and it was gripping and heartbreaking.The Outer Limits was at the time considered a gimmick, a Twilight Zone imitator, but I see clearly now 50 years later: it was not. Unlike the cynical, tongue in cheek typical Twilight Zone, this is dark and brooding and frightening. It is not a little half hour playlet; it is a one hour long drama, relentlessly upsetting, disturbing and uplifting all at the same time. I have set it to record all episodes now. They are just showing two per week on Saturdays.I was dismayed to look it up just now and find it was cancelled in the middle of the second season because it didn't draw in viewers after it was moved to another day.Great actors, great scripts, a noble TV show, totally underrated!

chrisart47 James Camerons AVATAR owes a debt to The Chameleon from the OLD outer limits! Robert Duvall portrayed the spy who's DNA was combined with aliens to produce an Alien-like being who then infiltrates an alien hideout to spy and kill the alien beings. The spy eventually sides with the alien-enemy and becomes one of them and leaves the earth to explore new horizons. Avatar is a composite of A man called hoarse. Dances with wolves. Fern-gully. This episode was a classic. The producers also gave us PSYCHO and FORBIDDEN PLANET! James Camerons AVATAR owes a debt to The Chameleon from the OLD outer limits!

mackaroni I,like many of these other IMDb reviewers loved "The Outer Limits" and consider it my all-time favorite show. Like them, I was a very young kid probably about 8 or 9 years of age when I saw the original episodes and they scared me half to death. The atmosphere of the show was incredible unlike anything I had ever seen on television before and the special effects were way ahead of their time for television of that period with such a limited budget. Now as I sometimes get to watch the reruns of the show, I am amazed at how creative and thought-provoking the scripts were and what an outstanding series it really was. This was science fiction at its finest with incredible acting, a haunting musical score and phenomenal writing. I have probably watched all of the episodes more than once and regret that they don't show reruns on television anymore. The new remake of the show was nothing like the original "Outer Limits" and I long for the original episodes again from "The Galaxy Being" and "The Sixth Finger" (two of the finest episodes ever written for TV) to "Nightmare" which gave me a few nightmares after viewing it and the two-part episode "The Inheritors". This was a show way ahead of its time and probably will never be recreated again in this day and age.
