Customer Reviews of Colossus - The Forbin Project
Serious disrespect for an under-rated film Universal should really be ashamed. "Colossus: The Forbin Project" is one of the most under-rated science fiction films of the seventies, and I've seen hand made DVDs of amateur home movies presented with far greater care and respect. The tragedy begins right on the cover, where whatever art-school reject who made the cover proves that English is his/her second language by titling the film *Colossus "The Forbin" Project*. The apparently random use of quotes is duplicated in every instance of the title on the box. <

>I can understand a lack of "special features" for this movie, it was made at a time when the studios didn't obsessively document the making of a film. But this disc doesn't even have a menu screen, or the ability to select and navigate to a specific scene! That's not a *special* feature, it's a standard interface, and Universal just couldn't be bothered. <

>I too am disapointed in the pan-and-scan format, but I'd rather see that than no version at all. But to see such blatant disrespect for the movie, that Universal clearly wanted to get this out to market without spending a single dime to present it in even a *merely adequate* format, is almost worse then them not having released it at all.
Colussus - The Forbin Project
This telling movie gives a very good reason for being careful about how much power humans give computers to run their lives. Specifically, give an invulnerable powerful computer control of all the nukes, and what does the computer do???

>This is an excellent movie, well worth the watching.
A cult classic still entertains

>In this classic from the 70's, a solution to Turing's conjecture, a computer programmer programs better than he thinks.

>A period piece, to be sure, but still quite entertaining.
