The consequences of time travel are the thematic framework for this compilation of episodes from the revamped Outer Limits anthology series, produced for the Showtime network. The six stories compiled here are indicative of the new version's competent but uneventful nature; scripting, performances, and direction (all hampered by the program's low budget) rarely live up to the plots' potential or the drama and suspense of the original series. Amanda Plummer's Emmy-winning turn as a scientist who travels 50 years into the past to commit a murder in the Season Two episode "A Stitch in Time" is the highlight of the disc; the rest (culled from the series' seven-season run) offer well-worn variations on time travel themes. The full-frame disc includes "The Outer Limits Story," which offers talking-head interviews with executive producers Pen Densham and Mark Stern, as well as featurettes on each episode. --Paul Gaita
Description

When an FBI agent discovers the astonishing truth, will past and present collide?Tribunal:An attorney obsessed with his father's treatment in a concentration camp has finally discovered the identity of the Nazi responsible for his imprisonment. But without proper evidence ? or a direct link to the past ? will he be able to bring this homicidal man to justice in the present?Gettysburg:Two friends re-enacting the Battle of Gettysburg unwittingly find themselves transported back in time and taken prisoner by a deranged Confederate colonel (Meatloaf) who might not only endanger their future...but the future of the country as well!Time to Time:A history major can't believe that she's been recruited as part of a time-travel team...until they send her back to a crucial turning point in her life. But will she alter history by trying to change her traumatic past...or prove her worthiness by making the ultimate sacrifice?Déjà Vu:Dr. Mark Crest (Kevin Nealon) is in charge of a military experiment transporting test animals through time. But when something goes terribly wrong and events begin to repeat themselves, Crest is the only one who can stop it...before time itself runs out for good!Patient Zero:A deadly plague will wipe out civilization unless Becket (Michael Rooker) can go back in time and find the one person who started the outbreak to prevent the epidemic. Is it a shot in the dark or can he contain the virus before it spreads throughout the world?

 Excellent, and intellectually challenging September 23, 2007

These stories are very entertaining, and actually have an intellectual content, in sharp contrast to much of the pablum that exists on television these days. Some of these stories are truly excellent.
"A Stitch in Time" is a superb episode that satisfactorily addresses the paradoxes inherent in time travel, and tells a compelling yarn to boot. "Patient Zero" is a suspensful and touching story that also deals with the paradox of time travel.
"Gettysburg" is a good story, but was too political for my taste. "Tribunal" was simply excellent.
This collection is several cuts above what one normally finds on television, and successfully upholds the reputation of "The Outer Limits" both the original series and this new series, in that regards. This DVD is a terrific entertainment value to which the discerning viewer will repeatedly return.
Good show. October 16, 2006

Like some other reviewers, I've always been fascinated by the concept of time travel. That's perhaps the first reason this series appealed to me.
The there was, of course, that it IS "The Outer Limits," the best use of Sci Fi as a story/mythtelling means I've ever come across.
This has a lot of elements you'd like in a story, a certain degree of sentiment, history, in short, humanity.
Indeed, the spouse and I enjoyed "Gettysburg" after we returned from another weekend in Gettysburg.
I recommend it.
