Loses something in hindsight.

Quatermass (1979) TV Mini-series 3h 24m Years after the original mass stories, an older Professor Bernard Quatermass is searching for his estranged granddaughter. It is easy to see why the ratings for this TV Quatermass vary widely. It looks like there was no effort at cleaning up the view. This leaves the original resolution that may add to the experience. The dialogue seems stilted. Come on, it is a TV teleplay; do you want Shakespeare? Ridiculous environment: you got me there. I was surprised to find Simon MacCorkindale, who played Simon Doyle one year earlier in “Death on the Nile,” plays Dr. Joe Kapp in four of the episodes. It took some time to recognize the actor with extra hair and a mustache. In a ratty future (past) environment full of nasty people and corrupt governments, a group of people seeks a way out. They move to a circle of stones where they see the light. What does this mean? Purchase this series and find out. ------------------ For people who want a product review, this package has two DVDs. The first DVD is the complete four-part series (including a positive end instead of a cliffhanger. The second DVD is the same series, chopped to half the time and called the Quatermass “Conclusion.” It also contains an interesting History Channel documentary on Stonehenge.
