more...Franciscan Quinn Mallory (Jerry O'Connell) has devoted his life to physics, and works on his own experiments when not studying for his university courses. His latest invention works on the concept of a wormhole, intended to transport a person between dimensions. When he invites his professor and a friend to witness a demonstration, everything goes awry, and the wormhole pulls in Quinn, his friend Wade (Sabrina Lloyd), Professor Maximillian Arturo (THE LORD OF THE RINGS' John Rhys-Davies), and an innocent bystander, washed-up singer Rembrandt 'Crying Man' Brown (Cleavant Derricks). As the group struggles to find a way home, they find themselves in various incarnations of San Francisco still the same city, but with completely different people and political and cultural situations. The ensuing mix of adventure, time travel, and alien encounters brings together the best aspects of the sci-fi genre and makes for a fast-paced, involving series.

Full review
Sliders was a great concept where a student scientist creates a sliding device where he can teleport to various parallel universes where its the same year but where certain events being different the outcomes in that world reflect that.

I enjoy seeing where the gang end up next, and getting John Rhys-Davies to play as proffesor Arturo was just ingenius. You can't help but think your watching Lord of the Rings by mistake. The episodes get better as they move along, and you follow malory closely to see if he ever manages to get back home again.

In this set you get both series 1 and series 2 which is a great bonus, and the story will keep you hooked like any good tv series. Sliders isn't great with modern days special effects, but in its day it was right up there with effects and i still think its a great watch and will always be remembered as a classic.

There are 6 discs which contain a total of 22 episdoes. There are also Bonus features such as the making of sliders, and a photo Gallery
Audio commentary from the creaters is also a bonus option

This film would suit people who like adventures as this is one big one, and is also very exciting with no way of knowing what is going to happen in the next episode. This will definetely keep you wanting to see the next episode.

A great series and a great buy
