Rating: - Very good film and the wide screen anamophic is available!
Stay away from this ugly pan and scan and instead consider MGM's European PAL region 2 version (if your DVD player can handle it) - The PAL 2 is a near perfect, beautiful, anamorphic wide screen.You can find the PAL copy at Amazon UK or I bought mine from xploitedcinema.com.Colossus's plausible plot combines three elements - the cold war, computers running amuck, and a doomsday scenario.Many similar elements can be found in War Games, Star Trek (VGER), Andromeda Strain, Doctor Strangelove, ...

Rating: - Underrated gem
There was a time, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when science fiction films seemed to be emerging from their cult status, and into the mainstream as films that could express the deepest and highest aspirations of mankind in ways that mere literary sci fi could not. There were a plethora of intelligent films in that era. Yes, there had been intelligent sci fi in the decades before. In the 1930s, there was William Cameron Menzies' Things To Come, based upon the H.G. Wells tale. The 1950s saw such ... Read More
Rating: - "This is the voice of world control..."
"Colossus: The Forbin Project" is a sci-fi feature based upon the 1969 novel by Dennis Feltham Jones.

The movie's premise reminded me of "Demon Seed", another movie where a supercomputer tries to assume ... Read More
Rating:  - Service review + brief abt film
No problems whatsoever. Arrived promptly and in perfect condition.As for the actual film, it's part of what inspired Terminator and the Matrix series, being one of the first to examine the theme of an A.I we create taking over.The other film of note in this regard, again pre-terminator, is Demonseed.
Rating:  - Long before the recent "Greenin o' America" mentality hit our
brainwaves, back in the old days, the late 60's early seventy's, we had "Earth Day" this movie is an off shoot of that.The "eco" people were still wearing "earth shoes" and dressing in overalls.Now they are more fashionable and wearing "Prada".Anyway, the movie wasn't all that bad, but very slow and I never did like Bruce Dern.But it was a cute idea which we may have to use someday, I did however, like the 3 little pre-r2d2's, which Bruce named Huey, Duey, and Louie, ya know, Donald Duck's nephews? ...
