Ray Harryhausen Collection (+ BD Live) (20 Million Miles to Earth, Earth vs. Flying Saucers, It Came from Beneath the Sea, 7th Voyage of Sinbad) [Blu-ray] Review

This is a great set of movies that have never looked better.
I really am grateful for the colorized versions of these classic
sci fi movies from the age of stop motion animation mixed with live people. These movies were always alot of fun to watch and now they look really good with fine remastering. Although this is not going to look like a more recent movie looks on blu ray. As the previous reviewers said it is not a good thing that the previously available '20 million
miles to earth" is on this set too. As many of us bought that one already; a different movie should have been included. Among the films here the weakest is 'it came from beneath the sea" but that doesn't mean that it's a bad movie at all. These movies were top notch for their day and still remain works of art due to the masterful animation techniques of Ray Harryhausen. You don't have to be from the past to enjoy earlier movies with their non computerized effects as these movies were top notch
sci fi flicks from their era. If you can relate to this fact and not act like a snob who complains about the not realistic effects by todays standards you can sit back and let the fun begin.

Ray Harryhausen Collection (+ BD Live) (20 Million Miles to Earth, Earth vs. Flying Saucers, It Came from Beneath the Sea, 7th Voyage of Sinbad) [Blu-ray] Overview

20 Million Miles to Earth
When an American spaceship crash-lands off the coast of Sicily, a rescue team discovers that the crew has brought back a gelatinous mass that soon hatches and evolves into a strange bi-ped creature which increases in size rapidly. Soon 20-feet tall, the creature rampages through Rome before being destroyed as it seeks refuge in the Colosseum.

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad
It's an incredible cinematic adventure as the legendary Sinbad sets off on a dangerous journey to the mysterious Island of Colossus. His quest is to break the spell cast over his beloved princess by a diabolical magician. But before he can save her, Sinbad must battle an awesome collection of mythical monsters, the man-eating Cyclops, a saber-wielding skeleton, a ferocious two-headed bird called the Roc and a fire-breathing dragon. Starring Kerwin Mathews, Kathryn Grant, Torin Thatcher and highlighted by the stunning visual effects mastery of Ray Harryhausen. Now in a pristine, hi-definition transfer that captures the magic of Harryhausen's "eye-popping" special effects in dazzling Technicolor.

It Came from Beneath the Sea
A giant stop-motion-animated octopus (with six arms) attacks San Francisco. A pair of scientists and a nuclear sub captain try to stop it before it tears down the Golden Gate Bridge.
