"The Questor Tapes" by Gene Roddenberry is an imaginative pilot for a television series that was unfortunately never picked up by network executives -- probably the same nitwits who wouldn't renew the original "Star Trek" after 3 seasons (while it's still in reruns 50 years later, with a number of tv spin-offs, and numerous feature films). "The Questor Tapes" is sci-fi at its best -- creative, intelligent, well written, at times humorous, and emotionally engaging. It would have made a great series. At least it's a great pilot.

A classic tale told by Star Trek's creator and writer Gene Roddenberry. I didn't correlate that my favorite scifi guy was responsible for this story when I first saw it in 1974. Well done and well acted, it takes us into a journey that begins and ends with questions about technology and society. Like Star Trek, Roddenberry saw a vision that speaks volumes about the present times, as well as a very accurate look into our future...

being a vaulted movie, it is higher price than what I usually pay for a movie, but it was a favorite of mine from the 70's and a Ray Bradbury original. It made it worth my while to purchase it. I have tried a couple of other times and received movies "out of region" this one worked perfectly. I watched it immediately and again enjoyed the movie.

Probably the best thing Rodenberry did post original STAR TREK. Also, one of Robert Foxworth's best roles, with he and Mike Farrell exhibiting great chemistry. Fine score by 70's-80's electronic whiz Gil Melle. This remains a lot of fun and would have made a great series. The DVD quality is quite acceptable considering it was a made-for-tv film from the early 70's, being relatively sharp, with accurate colors, and a clean sounding soundtrack.
Another offering from Gene Roddenberry that's not Star Trek related. Good viewing, but didn't seem to catch on as a TV series.
