![Alien Nation [DVD] [1988]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
It's an alien invasion mixed with the old good cop/bad cop routine (starring James Caan as the bad cop and Mandy Patinkin as the good cop) in the sci-fi thriller Alien Nation. Presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, this transfer of the film looks sharp and very well defined. While a small amount of grain and edge enhancement shows up in a few key scenes, overall this is a very pleasing image with natural flesh tones and solid colors/black levels. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 4.1 and sounds good to moderate. There are a few Surround effects to be found in this mix, though they're mainly utilized with ambient noise or background sounds. Otherwise this is a fine mix which includes no distortion or hiss in the mix. Also included on this disc are English and French 2.0 soundtracks, as well as English and Spanish subtitles. The extra features on Alien Nation are sadly close to the bare minimum -- fans will be disappointed to see only a short six-minute "behind-the-scenes" feature with a few scant cast and crew interviews, a three-and-a-half-minute montage of production footage from the film, a theatrical trailer, and three TV spots for Alien Nation.

The start to a great series.

It was the start to a great series, albeit with other actors playing the lead characters. Was also the first time my wife and I had seen Mandy Patinkin in a great performance as the main Alien. Great story and it got it all off to a great start.

One of the great series.

Not the same as the earlier Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits but Night Gallery stands on it's own. Saw it as a kid with some of the stories staying in my mind for all these years. Serling was not as involved in this series as he was with TZ, nor was he as fond of it, but I've always enjoyed it. Scary without the need to be gory... suspense, fear... great viewing when you're in the mood for that sort of thing.

An early B movie but a classic.

I've loved this movie since I first saw it when I was a child. I've seen it many times and always pick up on things I didn't see on the previous viewings. A good story, with for the time great special effects. I think it's held up quite well over time.

I use them with my laptop most of the time, when my wife is in the same room and wants to listen to something else... or I just want to enjoy something without disturbing her. The sound is great, they're comfortable to wear for long periods of time and they appear to be well made and have lasted a good while.

Sound is great... crystal clear. Even has a pause built into the wire. I carry them with me all the time to use with my Ipod, phone, tablet or laptop. Hoping to pick up another pair or two on my next trip to Bestbuy.

Not the one I grew up with, but I do like it.
on October 31, 2019
Posted by: Hauptmann
Verified Purchase:Yes
As I say in the summary, it's not the series I grew up with in any way, shape or form. I'm still in the process of watching it but so far it's got action, adventure, a devious underhanded Dr. Smith but the character is a woman now and much more vicious than Jonathan Harris ever was. I was rather upset that instead of the loving and devoted couple that were John and Maurine Robinson in the original, this pair was on the verge of divorce, and she treats him very poorly... a man shown to be a U.S. Marine Officer, serving his country and providing for his family through great sacrifice. But in this version she's the boss... the head of the family and he's more or less along for the ride. With the original John Robinson played by Guy Williams was strong, a top scientist, a great father, husband and someone who could get them out of difficult situations in every and every episode. He and his onscreen wife Maureen played by June Lockhart were devoted to each other. They shared in raising their family and looking out for them. Yet so things have changed in all the years since the original aired. But I do miss the way it was. Although I am happy to see this one being played seriously, without the camp that the original played to for ratings. It's been renewed so they must be doing something right. Here's hoping it will continue to be better and better and become a classic in it's own right.

Great series but the studios have done it again!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had Seasons 1-4 of Sliders for years... having picked them up here and there along the way. Although for many season 5 was not that great, to me it was still part of the series and it's history and so I wanted it to complete the set. Finally the studio released the complete series in one set, which is what I wish they'd do with series that are complete. But here I was lacking the one season... yet this set was cheaper across the board than it was to buy season 5 by itself. I'm thankful to finally have it all but now I'm stuck with four separate season sets that I spent good money for. But the series itself is well worth owning and watching.

Loved it... BUT...
on October 31, 2019
Posted by: Hauptmann
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is great for fans of Dan Curtis, Dark Shadows... primarily the original but with some good coverage of the 90's remake, as well as Winds of War and War and Remembrance. However I was extremely disappointed that there was nearly nothing but a brief mention of the TV movie The Night Stalker. As far as Kolchak The Night Stalker... either more on the movies (including The Night Strangler) or the series would have been most welcome and expected. Although the series only ran for one season the first movie was the highest rated/most watched TV movie till that time and for a long time after. The second movie did very respectfully and the series had some excellent and extremely memorable episodes. Without Kolchak The Night Stalker we would not have had The X-Files and so much more. Why none of this was included I cannot imagine but I hope in future something can be done to rectify this.

A romance between a young widow and a sea captain's ghost weaves a magical tale of immortal love. Determined to live her life the way she wants, newly widowed Lucy Muir (Gene Tierney) declines her straitlaced in-laws demand that she live with them and moves with her daughter (a young Natalie Wood) to the seaside into a cottage haunted by the handsome, blustering Captain Gregg (Rex Harrison). a deal is struck between the two in the wee hours of the morning allowing Lucy to stay in the house and the captain to materialize only in the master bedroom. As they gradually get to know each other better, Lucy's spunk and stubbornness gains first the captain's grudging respect, then his heart. But when another man woos Lucy, both must face that her future lies with the living, not in the spirit world.

Have loved this movie since I first saw it as a child. It was also the inspiration for the comedy series of the same name. Wish the would do a release of that. If you love sea stores, romances and just good old fashioned great film making this is for you. Plus how can you go wrong with Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney? One of the great ones!

Is this what I need to add memory to my Xbox one ie to install more games
Yes it is. It's made for just that, although it can be used as is (prior to formating) on computers, etc. But when you get it, you plug in the cable to the drive, the other end (USB) to the port (you'll see two of them... pics in the documentation) on the back of the Xbox One. I'd recommend doing this when the system is off. Mine was on and didn't recognize the drive... I did a restart and there it was.
How to transfer Xbox games to an external hard drive
Open the Settings app on Xbox One.
Navigate to the System tab.
Select Storage.
Scroll over to the right to select the internal drive.
Select Transfer. ...
Select items you plan to transfer. ...
Choose Copy selected to copy the items between drives.
During this process you'll get a prompt re: formatting the drive which only takes about a minute or so.
Very simple and will give you tons of space for more games. Good luck!
