3 out of 5 stars Fiction is stranger than truth.......2007-06-29

In the 3-DVD set, TALES FROM THE FUTURE, the three oldest films (including two silent features) are without question the best known of the lot. What's left over is obscure and deservedly so.

Fritz Lang's masterpiece, METROPOLIS, always manages to look futuristic, even 80 years after its initial release. THE LOST WORLD has primitive special effects compared to modern cinematic techniques. It does however offer us a chance to see the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself. The work of another famous British author, H.G. Wells is adapted for the screen in THINGS TO COME. The man's prescience was uncanny-- he foresaw a decade long second world war-- and turned out to be wrong only in the cataclysm's duration, and not by much.

Speaking of cataclysm-- the less said about the remainder of this collection, the better. These stinkers were near-cataclysmic career moves for Mark Hamill, Bill Paxton, Paul Petersen (of the DONNA REED SHOW) and Dorothy Malone, among others.

For a much larger sample of public domain futuristic films, the SCIFI CLASSICS 50 MOVIE PACK is simply out of this world!
