- 4:3!!!!
I knew going in that this was a 4:3 NOT 16:9 movie but I remember this movie from years ago and enjoyed it. Only 1 star because of the aspect ratio, 4 stars for the movie.
Note to studios: The dual sides DVDs with 4:3 on one side and 16:9 on the other side are bad enough but this is the 21st century. Get those movies out in their original formats!!!
Rating: - Talk about Big Brother!
While I'll admit that I haven't bought the film, I taped it when it was on t.v. a few years back, and reading the criticisms that it's not on the advertised wide screen, I won't buy it.
What I find most interesting about this film is that reviewers don't seem to notice the reality about Colossus which I believe is a Big Brother version of Government as a whole.

It was truly interesting to see Eric Braeden so young. ... Read More
Rating: - Very good film and the wide screen anamophic is available!
Stay away from this ugly pan and scan and instead consider MGM's European PAL region 2 version (if your DVD player can handle it) - The PAL 2 is a near perfect, beautiful, anamorphic wide screen.You can find the PAL copy at Amazon UK or I bought mine from xploitedcinema.com.Colossus's plausible plot combines three elements - the cold war, computers running amuck, and a doomsday scenario.Many similar elements can be found in War Games, Star Trek (VGER), Andromeda Strain, Doctor Strangelove, The ...
