Welcome to the Science Fiction DVD Review Page.
The world is full of great science fiction DVDs
that I could list here (like Star
Trek, Farscape,
Stargate
SG1, or whatever...) but I'm going to try to stick with the
unique and unusual -- things that you might not have heard of, or
might not be aware exist. So let's get started...

Land of the Lost was a cartoon that I watched back
when I was a kid. Some of the concepts that I used in
the Land of Devastation door game came from Land of
the Lost (if you've ever played Land of Devastation
and wondered where the 'pylons' came from)....
Anyhow, the DVDs (there is a season 1 and season
2 available) are very well done and true to what I recall
of the original series. The acting and special effects
are rather primitive, and the cartoon is of course geared
toward the child level, but it's still kinda fun to
watch!

Planet of the Vampires is cool 1960s era scifi movie
that is a little bit reminiscent of Alien. It starts
when a pair of space ships are diverted and crash land
on a strange planet. The story focuses on the second
of the two ships, which lands to find the first ship's
crew slaughtered and possessed by aliens.

This is the original 1970s TV series, not the new
Battlestar Galactica series on SciFi. I love the new
Battlestar Galactica, but in my opinion the new series
doesn't quite have the charm that the original had.
The cylons are the good ol' tin-can looking guys with
the ominous red eye that pans back and forth, and Dirk
Benedict is perfect in his pre A-Team days as the adventurous
and somewhat over the top Starbuck.

Buck Rogers was one of my favorite weekly series
back when I was a teenager (or was it even earlier?
I can't really recall...) Gil Gerard plays Buck Rogers
in a manner much reminiscent of the way that Ben Browder
played John Crichton in Farscape -- lot's of humor
and over-the-top heroic action. Erin Gray as Wilma Deering
is Buck Rogers straight-shooting sidekick. Of course,
in my opinion, the series would have been much better
without the cartoonish Twiki, but every sci fi series
needs it's cliche robot sidekick.
