Space: 1999: Super Space Theater [BLU-RAY].

[John Green]

Capitalising on the success of the first two Space: 1999 movies (episodes edited together as cinema features in the wake of Star Wars) ITC created what would ultimately become thirteen full-length movies for cable and home video under the banner Super Space Theater. Four of these were made from episodes of Space: 1999, though they included new music in places and (for Alien Attack) additional scenes.

Each of these four movies has been rebuilt from the High Definition restorations created for the series episodes – they are presented here in their original 4:3 fullscreen aspect ratio alongside new 16:9 widescreen special editions, with both Alien Attack and Destination Moonbase-Alpha featuring enhanced special effects. All four special editions have been re-edited, restoring scenes and adding material not in the original presentation.

Also included in this set is a rebuild of the Italian theatrical movie Spazio: 1999 – debuting several months before TV transmissions began and featuring an idiosyncratic score from the legendary Ennio Morricone, it was the first time Space: 1999 was seen anywhere in the world.
