1 out of 5 stars A Great Disappointment   June 29, 2009
Robert Gonzalez (Tampa, FL USA)
A two-part docu-drama that I remember to have been quite striking when first broadcast. Dramatically, it holds up fairly well, although I found it a bit more heavy-handed than I remember it. Some great performances by Powers Boothe, Randy Quaid, Albert Hall, Levar Burton, Veronica Cartwright, Brad Dourif, Meg Foster, and others. But this print is horrendous! Terribly grainy to the point of being out of focus, colors are over-saturated, and full of dust, dirt, pops, jumps and skips. And the sound is muffled, subject to irregular dropouts, and often distorted. I will not keep it in my library. It's a shame because it would have been worth watching again sometime. I guess the studio didn't think it worth digitally cleaning up the original.


5 out of 5 stars Super story   May 24, 2009
Robert McDowell (Gig Harbor, WA USA)
So sad that people need God so bad they'll follow any idiot who claims to be God's emmisary.


4 out of 5 stars Took about 2 weeks   February 24, 2009
Crystal E. Harris
Took about 2 weeks to receive the movie, but was satisfied when I finally got a chance to watch it. The movie imaging wasn't perfect but was nothing like some of the reviews I read.


3 out of 5 stars GREAT MOVIE - lousy transfer   August 25, 2008

2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The only reason this doesn't get five stars is because of the quality. I've been looking for this movie for years so bought it anyway despite the warnings about the lousy DVD quality. I had taped this from TV and the tape basically disintegrated. I'm glad I bought this CD but the quality is just as bad as on VHS. My recommendation is that if you have a decent VHS copy don't buy this. If you don't have it, buy this and wait for the release of a better quality DVD.


2 out of 5 stars 5 for the Movie, 0 for the dvd quality   July 7, 2008

Talk about no effort. This is really a terrible transfer. It really looks like someone had an old vhs tape of this 2 part tv movie and they just recorded it as is onto dvd. From the first minute to the last, you are treated to a dark, scratchy, hissing and popping movie. This is a terrific film, with an all star cast. Such an interesting story wasted with an awful dvd. This is one I truly hope someone would put out the right way.
