This cult sci-fi tv series was made by Stephen Spielberg’s
Amblin Entertainment in 1994 and arrives on DVD
in the UK on 28th May 2012.
In the year 2192 Earth has been rendered inhospitable by
pollution and war. Surviving humans now live in various space stations but an
infection known as “The Syndrome” leaves many stricken.
A rogue group of survivors head to a seemingly habitable
planet and attempt to begin a new life…….but not all is as it seems.
The cast includes Clancy Brown and Debrah Farentino with
appearances by Terry O’Quinn and Virginia Madsen but with little background the
viewer is thrust into what feels like an already ongoing story. The special
effects are very poor, looking more like something from a sixties sci-fi show
instead of a nineties one.
This 22 episode box-set will only appeal to those who are
already fans of the show and fondly remember it although this could be a case
of childhood memories being sullied.
Ric’s Rating: Dodgy.
I remember when it came out but never watched the show.
