Rating:  - Poor collection
A disclaimer: I haven't actually finished the set yet. And may never.
On the plus side, the reason for two stars, you get a LOT of movies for cheap.
On the negative side, it's a huge collection of One-star and Two-star movies, some of which are completely unwatchable. The Two-star films are few and far between, and I have lost hope of discovering a Three-Star movie in the set.
Additionally, not only are the films bad, but the presentation is very poor. No educational materials about these films or their histories. Many are NOT science fiction films. And the sound and picture quality is very low.
Rating:  - ""CLASSIC"" in the sense of your ex-wife.
Or my 1973 Chevy Vega...
which I replaced with a
1975 Pinto... then a AMC
Pacer... yeah! Classics
all... though the cars WERE
a little easier to SEE. Come to
think of the aluminum-block
in the Vega... the MOVIES do
SOUND better!
Rating: - A good instant collection of sci-fi films
Altought the image isn't very good (All the movies are in fullscreen and some have a bad image), this collection worths if you want an instant collection of sci-fi films. The majority of titles are from 50's but there's also some good movies from 70's and even 90's. For 12 bucks it worths a lot!
Rating:  - Best $13 I ever spent, period!!!
I am a big fan of B-movies and this collection has some of the most notorious, and many, many other fun discoveries! I've had so much fun popping them in randomly after work, cracking a beer and having a bunch of laughs and adventures. The picture and sound are the exact same quality as you would get if you bought these films individually, so the value you get here is phenomenal. These are not Sci-fi classics on the order of "The Day the Earth Stood Still," my friends, these are classics of an entirely different order.
Rating: - even those who are into "MST 3000" material should avoid paying full price for this
Not a lot here, folks. Some are okay, some are just bad. Real Film Buffs (tm) might get a kick out of seeing one-time big stars such as Claude Rains and Basil Rathbone at the nadirs of their respective careers; but really it's just a bore. At the other end of the career arc are folk such as Peter Lupus and Peter Graves, both of Mission Impossible. Only die-hard sci fans should even consider this collection, and even they ought to look for it on sale. Caution: no close captioning (apparently missing from the entire "50 Movie Pack" series).
