Customer Review: Didn't Really Enjoyed It
Seems like a good idea at the time. I'm a big movie buff. Even bigger sci-fi movie buff. 100 of these suckers all in one small box. And for outrageously low price! What can go wrong? Plenty. For one thing, if you're not a B-Movie fan, you gonna hate everyone of these. The word "classic" here is not meant to be gem or all-time favorite as it is doubtful you will find any of these movies in the top sci-fi movie list. In this context, "classic" is meant oldies or in this case B-movie oldies...somewhat deceptive marketing, but I guess they figure you can look at the list of movies on the back of the box. I'm not an oldies film expert, so I'm clueless and took their word for it, but after watching one dvd (6 movies), I realized these are going to be B-movies and I'm not going to enjoy the 94 other movies! Just watching 6 is painful enough. I have to force myself to watch one after another...figure I should at least watch one dvd, but just thinking I have another one to watch is not a good feeling. I think I'm just going to stick with what I know from now on.
Customer Review: Great value for b-movie fans.
This collection would be more suitably named something other than "Sci-Fi Cassics" None of the films here are classics in any sense of the word and many of them aren't even sci-fi, but the set does cover an awful lot of territory for a very reasonable price. There is everything here from an early silent movie to 1950's cold-war paranoia alien invasion films, and from Steve Reeves Hercules escapades all the way to Amazon warrior women and giant spiders. I've always been a fan of these kinds of movies and there are a few unexpected gems buried here. As someone mentioned, the transfer quality is iffy and sometimes truly horrible in that some of the films appear to have come from second or even third-generation VHS copies. Nevertheless I'm looking forward to spending the occasional Sunday afternoon with a bag full of popcorn happily viewing something from this rather eclectic collection.
