MASTERS OF SCIENCE FICTION (2007)

Plot

A double disc extravaganza of science fiction adapted from some of the most respected names in the genre including Robert A Heinlein, Harlan Ellison and Walter Mosley. With each episode lasting for 45 minutes it feels much like a series of The Outer Limits and unfortunately, unlike the Masters of Horror series, this release does not include documentaries and other such extras to satisfy the salivating pallets of sci-fi hounds, but it's well-made, well-performed and thoroughly entertaining; 1) An embittered doctor refuses to believe that her patient can recall nothing of the last 25 years of his life 2) An anthropoid enters the life of a rich couple 3) A dire X-Files does God episode 4) Justice goes robotic 5) Robots police the streets 6) Refugees adrift in space.
