I bought this DVD on a whim not expecting much during amazon's sci fi dvd sale. This is actually a great serial. The quality of the DVD is really really good considering i've read that many of the episodes were destroyed in the 70's for its silver content. Great fun for the whole family if the kids can stand cheesy effects compared to tv today. But this show is clean and fun for all ages and you can't beat the $13 price tag for 2 DVD's. Also from reading many reviews of the VCI logo that appears in the corner of the screen, they must have re-released these DVD's because the logo has not popped up on my screen ever. The back of the box states copyright 2007 and it was originally released in 2005. Buy this collection you won't be disappointed! Best quality picture I've seen! October 17, 2007 Kirk Nelson (Seattle, WA) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful I've seen several other different videos and DVDs of this same serial and even if the tinted sequences weren't there, this is still by far the best quality picture of any of them! Speaking of the tinted sequences, it was nice to see those again since I hadn't seen them except for when I initially saw the serial when it first played at the Saturday matinees at our local theatre back in 1952. This is probably the closest approximation there has been to any serial being in color! I've always found it to be quite enjoyable and entertaining and I thought they made remarkable use of the special effects considering the minuscule budget they had to work with! One interesting footnote: this was the ONLY theatrically released serial that was actually based on a television program(it was usually the other way around) and I'm quite sure that at the time of its initial release back in 1951, Hollywood was beginning to acknowledge the growing power of television! First TV Show to Become a Theatre Feature? September 13, 2009 William A. Lewis (Oak Park, Illinois United States) I was a big fan of space shows when I was a kid. I wanted to add some of those primitive old shows to my 'good old days' DVD collection. Most of this stuff is verly badly acted, written, and directed. But that's what I see with adult eyes. I'm reviewing this as the kid I was. "with evil forces from Planet Atoma our hero vows to protect Earth ~ Captain Video" September 18, 2005 J. Lovins (Missouri-USA) 13 out of 20 found this review helpful VCI Entertainment and Columbia Pictures present "Captain Video: Master of the Stratosphere" (1951) (digitally remastered), 15 Chapters of a sought after vintage serial loaded with action sequences...there is a great deal of entertainment here for the cliffhanger fans out there...finally for the first time on video the really great Columbia Serial that broke the mold...we have everything a serial fan would want...the tinted sequences by Cinecolor and unique inventions that were unlike any other serial out there in the '50s...now to the plot as the Planet Atoma looks dusty, unlivable and is ruled by despot Vultura...looks like a sequel to the "Buck Rogers" serial...will the Planet Atoma rule the universe beginning with our planet Earth...can Captain Video and his Ranger sidekick stop this mad scheme...how can his technology overcome this vast weaponry of Vultura...be prepared to watch the different tinted scenes which at that time was really something ...don't pass this one up or Captain Video will be hot on your trail. Under director's Spencer Gordon Bennet and Wallace Grissell with screenplay by Royal K. Cole and Sherman L. Lowe...the cast include Judd Holdren (Captain Video), Larry Stewart (Ranger), George Eldredge (Tobor), Gene Roth (Vultura), Don C. Harvey (Gallagher), William Fawcett (Alpha), Jack Ingram (Aker), I. Stanford Jolley (Zarol), Jimmy Stark (Ranger Rogers), Skelton Knaggs (Retner), Rusty Wescoatt (Beal)...another great serial provided by Columbia Pictures during their heyday in the early '50s.. this serial is one of the best...stuntwork is outstanding and the special effects were astounding for its time...must make mention to keep your eyes peeled for B-Western and Serial veterans Jack Ingram and I. Stanford Jolley, who in my humble opinion were the pioneers of evil gamblers, sheriffs, henchman and all around villains from the early '40s and '50s. CHAPTER TITLES: (Disc One) 1.

Great job by VCI Entertainment for releasing the first time on video a tinted sequences by Cinecolor digital transfere with a clean, clear and crisp print...special thanks to Jack Theakston, Jon Hildreth, L. Gravy for their assistance....and a big thank you to Clifford R. Wimer for his detailed liner notes that give all the "Sci-Fi Serial Fans" a glimpse of those thrilling yesteryear adventures...looking forward to more of the same from the '50s vintage serials vault...order your copy now from Amazon or VCI Entertainment, stay tuned once again with hard-to-find releases from VCI...just the way we like 'em! Total Time: 287 mins on 2 DVD's ~ VCI Entertainment 8428 ~ (8/30/2005) CAMPY, CORNY, CUTE AND HILLARIOUS November 5, 2006 Fancy Pants (Burbank, California USA) 5 out of 8 found this review helpful My opinion is not without bias, my father was the Video Ranger...but when we played this series of DVD's for all our friends, laughter was continuous. To think that in that day they thought what they were doing was "the cutting edge" for special effects, is hysterical all by itself, but then some of the lines they speak even take it to the next level of funny. It's the perfect slumber party DVD, popcorn, pepsi and Captain Video, your sides will ache from laughing so much. Showing reviews 1-5 of 11 1 2 3 Next »
