Lost The Complete Collection - 36-DISC BD [Blu-ray]

Whether you loved or hated it.. LOST was a show for the masses. It IS one of the greatest narrative stories that I've ever experienced.
I let myself get completely taken in by LOST and all its mysteries.
Yes there are MANY questions I have, many mysteries yet to be revealed. People need to realize 2 things:

1) LOST is a character DRIVEN show. It would not have successfully run 6 seasons on "mystery" alone. Therefore it is only fitting they end the show piecing together all the CHARACTERS and where they end up. The mysteries of the island are left to be discussed, and to be researched by the viewer if they want to find out more.

2) This is a REVIEW OF THE LOST COMPLETE COLLECTION. Don't taint this items integrity by making this a place to post your opinion of the ending.

The previous user's rating was based on their OPINION of the show alone, not the item. Safe to say he is an idiot. Not onto the item.

This 36 disc Blu Ray collection is one for the ages. Packed with over 18 hours of extra content (which I am SURE will shed light on more of the islands mysteries) as well as all of the episodes.
If anyone is a avid lover of LOST like I am, all the extra items in this collection are exciting. An island replica, an Ankh (the cross type object from ancient Egyptian times), which will surely be hung in my car, as well as a real Senet game that Jacob and the Smoke Monster played.

I'm surely going to pre order this as it is packed with extras and goodies that any LOST fan can appreciate.

It's a vast mass of mysteries, bizarre twists and supernatural occurrences -- and it's brilliant. "Lost: The Complete Series" has some bumps along its way (particularly in the second season), but it blossoms once it finds its footing, and starts working towards a brain-bending, epic clash between the forces of light and darkness. Think of it as "Swiss Family Robinson" by way of Stephen King.

A plane crashes on a remote tropical island, leaving a terrified band of survivors including a doctor named Jack (Matthew Fox), a spoiled brother and sister, a single dad and his strange son, an Iraqi ex-soldier, a Korean couple, chubby lottery winner, an escaped prisoner, a hostile con-man, a man cured of paralysis, and a junkie rocker.

Unfortunately, the island has countless perils that crop up as the survivors try to survive there, and strange people are hidden in its depths. What's more, the island has a history that stretches back countless years -- there are remnants of a powerful organization called Dharma, a collection of "Others" living in a luxurious modern village, a metal hatch with a button that MUST be pushed, and ancient statues and temples from ancient times.

The survivors do their best to keep alive and to fight back the Others, but they lose many of their number as they struggle to survive. And when a small band of them do escape the island, they find that they have somehow disrupted the island's primal forces, and even the fabric of time itself. But even when they fight their way back to the island, they find that not all is as it should be. In an effort to set things right, they must take the ultimate risk... or the evil force imprisoned on the island will destroy them all.

Yes, it's a weird show -- "Lost" might make more sense if you're drunk or stoned, because it can swing wildly from the downright surreal to the mundane. But in the midst of shallow sitcoms and endless reality TV, it's refreshing to see a twisty-turny show like this one -- religious symbolism, horror, science fiction, and a mythic storyline that stretches through the centuries.

The lush landscape is a contrast for such a dark storyline, although the writers do stumble occasionally (the first half of the second season is a total misfire). Adams never reveals everything, which keeps up the suspense, and he twines together dozens of mysteries -- the island's nature, its prior inhabitants, and its countless mysteries. Every time Adams unravels one puzzle, it just reveals a new one -- and while he fails to answer all the mysteries (Walt and the animals!), the answers to the main ones are truly spellbinding.

And "Lost" is truly an ensemble show -- every character gets to shine (including some we don't care about), and flashbacks (and flash-forwards) reveal what makes them tick. Some like Jin, Sun and the haunted, smart-alecky Sawyer evolve into whole new people.

Matthew Fox is given a lot of attention, and he is a good actor... even though the self-righteous Jack eventually gets kind of annoying. Fortunately, there's a brilliant supporting cast -- Dominic Monaghan, Jorge Garcia ("Dude, that was a Jedi moment!"), Terry O'Quinn, Evangeline Lilly, the brilliant Naveen Andrews and Josh Holloway, Yunjin Kim, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Daniel Dae Kim. Michael Emerson is awesome as the creepy-eyed Other leader, as is Henry Ian Cusick as ex-soldier/monk Desmond.

"Lost" is a well-written, well-acted show that brings a bit of mystery back into prime-time television. Creepy, funny, romantic, tragic and sometimes just weird.

I just got home home from holidays to an Amazon delivery of the LOST complete series BluRay collection. Wow. From the initial images I had seen online I was expecting much of this set to be cheaply made trinkets, but that is not the case. This is a very solid gift set. The box weighs a ton, and is made from very thick, very sturdy material. There is some nice texturing throughout the packaging, especially along the outside of the box. The lid turns over and has an island map on the back. Even the small bonus items feel tough and well-built.

The complete set includes: Six individual season cases inside one larger disc box featuring 36 discs spanning each season as well as bonus features, a copy of a page of the journal of one of the Black Rock crew members, an ankh that opens to reveal a secret message, a complete senet game (tokens, white rocks, black rocks, and game board), a dharma blacklight keychain, episode guide book, and a larger box to contain the entire set with a removable lid and magnetic compartments to hold the set's smaller items. What it doesn't have, as far as I can tell, is a list of the bonus features anywhere, which may make locating The New Man in Charge a bit of a task.



Two thoughts. The "secret messege" inside the ankh appears to be a sort of "Konami code" to find some sort of easter egg using the remote control. I'll have to do more investigating to try to figure out which disc it is on, and how to access it. Also, the included mini blacklight would (based on the content of the show itself) suggest some invisible messages somewhere in the set as well. I poked around with it for a minute (mostly on the journal letter) but so far haven't been able to find anything.

It's clear that this set will satisfy fans who are looking for the definitive LOST experience. The Black Rock journal entry answers one nagging question that fans were wondering about after Season 6, and who knows how many others are addressed within.

If you're a fan, or a collector, you won't want to be without this set.

The DVD set is nicely laid out.

Overall, worth the price!
