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, ... Read More

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.

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? ... Read More
