Man From Atlantis: Complete Television Series (Remastered, 4 Disc)

A trip through a time when fast editing didn't have to grab our attention,Patrick Duffy (DALLAS) gives a sensitive performance as the last survivor of Atlantis, Belinda Montgommery,is VERY WELL SUITED as the Doctor providing moral and emotional support for Mark Harris, perhaps a lesson for some of those in the Real World to emulate. My memories of this TV series are a little vague but non-the-less fond ones, my only critism is that the 13 part TV series has been sold seperatly. I feel this is missleading of Warner Archive to advise us that, it says, "The complete TV series," so be advised when purchacing that item, it would certainly make more sence to release the 4 TV movies & Complete TV sereies as one package as other TV series have done.The visual quality is a little impaired for the TV Movies, however, I think this adds to the nostalgia, and besides I grew up in the UK and watched it on a Black & White TV, when a teenager.Complete Nostalgia.

Want to resubmit my review. The person the package was handed to forgot to tell me it was delivered. I received it on time and in great shape. Thanks.

Watching Patrick Duffy swim made me want to learn to swim -underwater. Never quite learned to come up for air but could last a long time submerged

Man From Atlantis was a show I half-remembered from my childhood. I loved it as a kid but I found it a little difficult to watch as an adult. If nothing else, watching these DVDs showed me how much live video feed has helped the production of television shows and films. I could not help but shake my head when the water tank Patrick Duffy's character was in clearly showed water stains on the outside of the glass when he was supposed to be in the ocean, or the scurrying fin of one of his support divers who was not supposed to be there, or an underwater light showing up on-camera, or the blatant continuity glitches between wet hair/dry hair and so on. In modern filming, many of these problems could have been caught during filming with the help of live video feeds rather than having to wait until the film was processed -- when time and money restrictions caused them to become permanent goofs. As a child, I marvelled at Duffy's amazing (and changing) eye colors because I didn't know f/x lenses existed. As an adult, I see how bloodshoot his eyes are and respect what he endured with those glass contacts. As a child, the silliness of the plots and the sometimes wooden acting never bothered me. As an adult, it makes me chuckle that I could have ever been so naive. Still, there were moments when I was pleasantly surprised by the acting, a humorous line in the dialogue, the hint of an unexpected depth in a message(that may or may not have been deliberate), Mr. Duffy's endurance of eyes and lungs, and, for the era, the quality of the transfer to DVD for both sound and video. Also in the plus column was the ability to wistfully admire the handsome Mr. Duffy's lean, young, authentic swimmer's body forever captured at the height of his prime and the fact that, to this day, in the rare times I go for a swim, I STILL occasionally use the undulating body method of swimming underwater because it captured my imagination as a child and it actually does work as a means of propulsion.In short, I'd have to call it enjoyable - though flawed - fluff from a bygone era.

PHENOMENAL COLORS! The attention to detail in the pilot is ADMIRABLE with blues & greens used throughout including complimented by actors with blue eyes ....green eyes! It's OBVIOUS to see whey the pilot TV MOVIE spawned 3 more TV MOVIES and a series! Patrick Duffy has an EXTRAORDINARY build & slim body as we see right off the bat in the Pilot TV MOVIE with admirable underwater scenes swimming ... and very handsome. Belinda Montgomery's acting tops ALL. GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY! INCREDIBLE PRODUCTION VALUES! Spectacular care was taken in the PILOT especially in ALL areas deserving MORE than 5 STARS! VERY happy I purchased this (4) TV MOVIES DVD set! :)

Watched this when I was a kid. Brings back good times. Old shows don't have all the animations and underlying things that the current shows have which makes them better.

had the goodtimes vhs pilot for years, got the comics. now its on dvd. great picture..oh memory lane was never so clear. TAKE A chance and get your gills and webbed feet wet. order the man. THE MAN FROM ATLANTIS. THE MOVIES ARE GREAT CLEAR, NOW TO GET THE REST OF THE TV SERIES. Take note: the movies were 4 stand alone movies before the series . So you have 4 movies 1-4. Then 13 episodes on the second set. It’s not misleading if you know the layout of the shows original airing.

Since both product sets are combined as a common product according to Amazon...Man From Atlantis: The Complete TV Movies Collection - The reason for the low review is that my first set I received had a bad 1st disc. I am returning it and hope my second set will be good. This set has the FIRST 4 TV MOVIES which aired the year before the TV SERIES began. So if you want a complete collection, you will need to buy both the movies, and the series.Man From Atlantis: Complete Television Series - I was very surprised to receive what seem to be properly manufactured pressed DVDs instead of DVD-R media for the Series Collection. I had no issues with it in my players at all.Both sets seem to have transfers that are really good, and the shows are still enjoyable when taken in the context set in the show. Do not expect any deep thinking and you can just sit back and enjoy it, much like the old Batman TV series from the 60's, or the Buck Rodgers TV series from the 70's-80's

Will play on region 2

UNA SERIE DE CULTO, LÁSTIMA QUE NO TIENE SUBTÍTULOS NI EN FRANCÉS, INGLÉS O ESPAÑOL COMO FIGURA EN LA INFORMACIÓN DEL PRODUCTO.SÓLO EL AUDIO ES EN VERSIÓN ORIGINAL: INGLÉS.LE DOY 2 ESTRELLAS POR INFORMAR MAL SOBRE EL PRODUCTO!!!

Would have enjoyed it more if the Pilot episode was included.

yes i would have to say that half the reason i bought MAN FROM ATLANTIS is because i remembered just how beautiful Belinda Montgomery is but the fact that Belinda Montgomery is beautiful aside another big reason i bought the MAN FROM ATLANTIS is because i used to watch it and i have been hopping to relive those old memory's again and because of amazon i can do just that so i say thank you very very much to amazon for helping me there
