Description:
A&E Home Video proudly presents more episodes of world-renowned producers Gerry & Sylvia Anderson's seminal sci-fi adventure series...Space:1999. When Earth's moon is blasted out of orbit by a spectacular series of nuclear explosions, the men and women on Moonbase Alpha embark on the greatest adventure of their lives. In each episode, they must fight to survive amid bizarre life forms, undreamed-of civilizations, hostile environments and mystical phenomena. Premiering after Star Trek and before Star Wars, Space: 1999 offered TV audiences cinema style special effects, grand set design and sleek, ultra-modern costumes. Starring Academy Award winner Martin Landau (Ed Wood), three-time Emmy Award winner Barbara Bain (Mission Impossible), and featuring an international cast of guest stars, Space: 1999 was the most expensive and lavishly produced sci-fi series of its day. Set contains the following episodes: Missing Link Guardian Of Piri Force Of Life
Amazon.com:
The third video set of Space: 1999 contains three more first-season episodes from Thunderbirds creators Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's 1975 British series. The premise of this sci-fi cult classic is that Earth's moon was blasted out of orbit, sending the crew of Moonbase Alpha on an unexpected interplanetary journey, looking for a place they can call home. The castaways on Moonbase Alpha, led by Commander John Koenig (Martin Landau), continue their drift through the universe, where they encounter fantastic planets, oddball races, and cataclysmic perils. In 'Missing Link' Koenig is abducted by aliens; 'Guardian of Piri' has Alpha's computers reporting to a skeptical crew that Piri is the planet they've been searching for; and in 'Force of Life' a strange power begins leeching energy from both man and machine. Space: 1999's then state-of-the-art special effects hold up well, less so the deliberate pacing. But these fan-favorite episodes are a must for all earthbound Alpha devotees. --Jenny Brown

Rating:  - classic sci-fi!
I've always loved the space 1999 series for its fabulous sets and its exceptional special effects-even by todays standards. The show casts a certain "atmosphere" unlike any other, like a sense of "erieness," and its fun!
