Crash of the Moons - This version without the fun of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 guy and his robots is not much fun and the video and sound quality is pretty bad.

Thinking is the best way to travel

"Let's get the "down side" out of the way immediately:



Video quality on budget-priced DVD sets is not always suitable for hi-def or big screen TVs. These discs work best on standard size tube sets.

Audio levels from this manufacturer have in the past been somewhat low-- yet not unlistenable if you have a decent sound system.



And now the "up side":



A hundred unusual selections for 30 cents apiece!

Compact packages. Especially with MILL CREEK sets, thousands of movies can easily fit on a single shelf.

Lesser-known films and genuine obscurities-- great for avid collectors.

Months of entertainment in a single box.



The SCI-FI 100 MOVIE PACK doesn't offer anything not previously released by this manufacturer. It does however convienently bring together several genres of American, Japanese and European 'B' movies. Besides science fiction this set also contains horror, fantasy, swords & sandals and mystery films.



An example of a non-sci-fier would be "How Awful About Alan." This Aaron Spelling TV movie is more of a mystery-drama than anything else. It's the story of a man with psychosomatic blindness due to guilt over his father's death. Alan is convinced someone is trying to harm him, and he just may be right.



There's not room to comment on the other 99 movies here. You can see from the list below that this is an unusual gathering, to say the least.



Another mammoth MILL CREEK item is their HORROR 100 MOVIE PACK (24pc). It'll keep you screaming for many a full moon!

and one more I can't find the name to. As with most of mill Creek's release the transfers are average at best. There are some repeats on this set with other set, as with most of them but still for the price you're going to get enough new titles to make it a value."

Great value for b-movie fans.

"This collection would be more suitably named something other than "Sci-Fi Classics" 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."
