5.0 out of 5 stars
Great show, dreadful DVD,
By Mountie McLuhan (Northwest Territories, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lost Room (Mini-Series) (DVD)
The Lost Room proved to be a gripping and inventive mini-series. Filled with clever and engaging writing, humourous quips and dark portent, and a cast of fabulous actors led by Peter Krause and Julianne Margulies. The show is fascinating from the first scene, and the central concept is mysterious without being Lynchesque in its impenetrability. The tale revolves around an unjustly accused cop's search for his daughter who has gone missing in a mysterious motel room, but that just provides the platform for an exploration strange and powerful Objects that allow a user to bend reality and the colourful cast of characters who seek to possess these Objects.
The region 1 DVD production, hownever, is an exercise in frustration. First of all the subtitles are stuck on all the time - the disk won't even accept a turn off subtitles order despite having the option in the setting menu. Secondly, the picture quality is not really up to DVD standard either. The disk is quite inexpensive for six hours of show, but I would rather have paid another $5 and gotten the quality I expect from a DVD, espcially one that deserves repeat viewing like this one does. My advice - wait a year for Lion's Gate to fix the DVD, then watch it in its full glory.

One of the best miniseries I have EVER seen :),

This review is from: The Lost Room (Mini-Series) (DVD)
I stumbled upon this DVD by accident one day in Blockbuster. I had never heard of it, but had seen the main actor in the hugely popular series Six feet under (of which I was utterly hooked for years!!). I thought it might be nice to see what he had been up to since six feet under had finished, and the plot line seemed entertaining enough from the back cover.
Well, my husband and I started watching it, and after the second episode we were absolutely HOOKED! It is so fascinating, and entertaining!! It feels like you are playing an old video fantasy game from when I was a kid...with secret codes, places and combinations. You will understand when you watch it. I have never been a sci-fi fan, but this is truly different and unique and I absolutely enjoyed every moment. It is worth every penny, and I know that young and old alike will really enjoy it. I don't want to spoil all the surprises so I will leave it at that...hopefully you will take my word for it, and take a chance on it....this miniseries should be better known!! It is FABulous!! ENJOY!

From the first scene of the movie, I knew I was hooked. That could be because I love just about anything that is unique and original; with plots that seem implausible and stories that really get me thinking. This mini series was all of that and more. I hope they come out with a sequel.
