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

Customer Reviews

Mixed Feelings, Not a Mixed Review
I do not believe in reviewing something that has not yet been released, but I have to express my dismay that the release of these Outer Limits episodes is a strong indication that we devoted fans of the series will be deprived of full season releases, at least for the foreseeable future.

We are truly between a rock and a hard place. If these episodes sell well, then we are endorsing this method of releasing episodes by theme. If they do not sell well, then the danger is no more Outer Limits releases.

I can only submit this with the slight and vague hope that someone with some influence may read this and reconsider.

Not everyone is a fan of the new Outer Limits series, but I believe it was generally well done, at least when it was on Showtime. In a perverse way, the move to the Sci-Fi channel parallels the original series season two, where a new production team compromised the show, yet still produced some episodes of quality.

May someone please take "Control" of MGM DVD production and give us full seasons. I'll be glad to stand by.

More themed discs coming out
According to the MGM site, this will be a 6 discs set that includes the previously released Sex & SciFi and Time Travel discs, along with 4 new themed DVDs also available seperately:

Aliens Among Us Collection
"Quality of Mercy," "Afterlife," "The Grell," "Relativity Theory," "Alien Shop," "Beyond the Veil"

Fantastic Androids & Robots Collection
"I, Robot," "The Hunt," "Resurrection," "The Camp," "Glitch," "Small Friends"

Mutation & Transformation Collection
"The New Breed," "Descent," "The Joining," "Double Helix," "The Gun," "The Inheritors"

Death & Beyond Collection
"The Second Soul," "The Other Side," "New Lease," "Essence of Life," "Human Trials," "Black Box"

I give it a 3 stars mostly because I glad they're releasing some, but not a big fan of this "piecemeal" thing. There's a huge number of great episodes they're skipping over entirely.

i wish i recorded these when i had chance
MGM again shows their total lack of respect for the outer limits fans . as for me i will not buy this crap or any other MGM movies/shows until a true box set comes out . wish i recorded them all when i had chance. maybe its time we boycotted MGM sense money over fans seems to be the way they would have it. when they get poor FOX a outstanding example of how good things can be when u consider fans over profit, will buy them out and give us what we all want for some seven years now.
