There is nothing wrong with your DVD player: the creative minds behind the 1995-2002 version of The Outer Limits offer you six volumes of imaginative science fiction culled from the series to entertain and astound you. Viewers should know that this boxed set does not compile the complete series, but rather it takes 36 episodes from the show's full run and groups them by theme; also, two of the six volumes have been previously released as single discs (Time Travel and Infinity and Sex and Science Fiction were released in '02),but Aliens Among Us, Mutation and Transformation, Fantastic Androids and Robots, and Death and Beyond are brand new (and are also available as single discs).But that shouldn't stop both first-time travelers to The Outer Limits and veteran explorers from picking up this set, because it contains some of the program's most intriguing episodes, including the Emmy- and Gemini-winning "A Stitch in Time" with Amanda Plummer; "I, Robot," a remake of an original Outer Limits episode, and starring Leonard Nimoy; "The Grell," with Star Trek: The Next Generation's Marina Sirtis; "Double Helix," with Ron Rifkin and Ryan Reynolds in an unorthodox exploration of genetics; and "Beyond the Veil," with Michael O'Keefe in a story about alien abduction. Each disc offers "Origins of The Outer Limits," a talking-heads interview with the show's creators, as well as featurettes on the making of the episodes compiled on each disc (the Sex and Sci-Fi and Aliens Among Us discs offer slight variations on this format by offering a multi-part featurette and a documentary on a single episode, respectively). --Paul Gaita

 Si-Fiction July 21, 2008

If you like Science Fiction, you should enjoy the Outer Limits. This is a newer TV Series and it is just as good as keeping in line with the older Series Show. But not everyone likes the Outer Limits. As for me, I do enjoy the Series and I give it 5 Stars & 2 thumbs up.

Some Good Episodes mixed with some real duds August 21, 2007

This is a six disk anthology set of the Outer Limits series that reloves around certain themes. As many reviewers have already stated I would definately recomend that you wait and save your money for the season disk sets instead of wasting your money on this. Out of the 36 episodes on this collection maybe 10-15 are of high quality, the rest seem to be put in as filler episodes just make this set look beefy.
Please wait for the season disk sets...

This pack is a bargin vs. purchasing each theme individually.
Six episodes to each 'themed' dvd. There are only a few outstanding episodes. You will get bored watching same themed episode after episode.
Wait for each season to be released.
 Cop-chop issue June 13, 2007

I think making theme chop-chop's is an unintelligent way of issuing a series. It must be the works of a marketing manager having no clue about quality.
I haven't seen the series but is very intrigued and want to buy it. But when I buy something I want to get the complete works. Not a minced leftover by some surely ignorant editor (annoying those with a different taste). Any series issue ought to start chronological and be complete. If the studio wants to serve the low quality market segment, then by all means chop it up - afterwards. Please have a little self-respect, dear friends at the studio !!:o)
 Great Series However September 5, 2006

I love this series; ok it's not the original, however some of the plots and themes are as good as the original. Some of the plots are very predictable and formulaic, I can forgive this, its Sci-Fi and sometimes going along for the ride is part of the fun.
What I have trouble forgiving is the way the set is packaged-the themes idea sucks-I want to be able to have it broken up so that I watch one about aliens and then maybe a time travel and a twisted robot one. Why are they not packaged like they were screened? It seems bizarre to me and some of my favourites are missing altogether-the one with Charlton Heston as a judge on time travel etc, no idea of the name- and the double sided discs are a bit of a minor pain, err which side is which again?
All up its great Sci-Fi, some of it is tried and predictable, some of it thought provoking, some just a blast, enjoy!
