Advantages: It's a B sci-fi movie, cheesy action and cheesy violence Disadvantages: it's a B sci-fi movie and some people might not like it
film had any success back in the days but it can still deliver some entertainment, it also features some famous faces (Malcom McDowell for one, famous for A Clockwork Orange in the 70's and more recently for the tv series Heroes). Lot's of violence but nothing too disturbing... it's all cheesy so do not worry. Special effects were actually quite good (for a b movie).
The film is a sort of "reversed" sequel of the more famous "Class Of 1984" where the teachers were the victims.
If you can find if for a few quids I think it's worth it but don't spend a lot on it or you might be disappointed.
Complete lack of special features or extras in the DVD. Good picture quality though.

SPACE 1999

Here we are again with another memorable sci-fi series from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson whose other 'Hits' included Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds and UFO.
Space 1999 was set on the Moon where a Moon base has been built and nuclear waste from the Earth was stored, but things are not well and soon the nuclear waste explodes blowing the moon out of earths orbit and sets it on a course out of the solar system.
The series then follows the crew left alive the Alpha moon base as the travel around the universe and as they meet many strange aliens and come across other civilizations and weird planets.
The program aired from 1975 - 1977 and actually only lasted for 2 series but with 24 episodes in each series it seemed to go on for a lot longer.
The crew consisted of some well known ...
Advantages: Still fun to watch Disadvantages: A bit dated
. The Bringers Of Wonder part 2
19. The Lambda Factor
20. The Seance Spectre
21. Dorzak
22. Devil's Planet
23. The Immunity Syndrome
24. The Dorcons
I remember as a kid having a toy ?Eagle? and really enjoying each episode. You can get it on DVD or catch the repeats on ITV4, daily.
At the time the sets where clever and innovative and the scripts fresh and different. The special effects where not up to much but then it was 1975, oops sorry, 1999.
The acting was ok and the introduction of Maya as a shape changer added new ideas and possibilities to the adventures each week.
As with Star Trek the main crew never died, except for Victor, see below, and so you could easily see who was going to die and it was usually the new face sitting next to a main cast member.
Worth a watch even if only for the nostalgia.
