Synopsis: In the year 1999, a spectacular explosion at a lunar nuclear waste dump sends the moon out of Earth’s orbit. In this seminal sci-fi series from producer Gerry Anderson (Thunderbirds, UFO), the men and women of Moonbase Alpha are suddenly propelled on a treacherous journey across the universe in search of extraordinary new worlds. Left with no way home, the Earthling citizens are forced to embark upon the greatest adventure of their lives, encountering bizarre life forms and strange phenomena as they struggle to survive among the awe-inspiring wonders of outer space.

All 24 first season episodes of this acclaimed space adventure have been restored in stunning high definition and presented with newly-created 5.1 surround soundtracks, and hours of brand-new bonus features.

With its progressive plotlines, an outstanding cast, and astonishing special effects from Oscar® winner Brian Johnson (Alien, The Empire Strikes Back), SPACE: 1999 has secured its place as one of the most thought-provoking series of the 20th century—and beyond.

Review: Space: 1999 was a mid-1970s science fiction television show.   This british television drama was a bit ahead of my time and across the pond, so this is my first time watching it, though I had heard of it before through the grapevine.  The series had a very high production value, due to its high budget for the time.  The stories were very grim and taken seriously and the ship models were fantastic for the pre-Star Wars era.    This show was the first true space opera.   The show looks fantastic in blu-ray high-defintition.  There are only two seasons of the show, so you can get the first half of the complete series now.  This one would make a great Xmas gift for the sci-fi fan in your life.
