Product Description:
Amazon.com:
The science fiction series Space Above and Beyond, which enjoyed a brief run in the 1995-96 season, was created by X-Files producers Glen Morgan and James Wong as a revision of the classic war series Combat!. Set in the not-too-distant future, Space Above and Beyond follows the adventures of five inexperienced Marines of the 58th Squadron, who are involved in a war against the Chigs, a race of aliens bent on conquering the Earth. Morgan and Wong gave their main characters intriguing personalities--Nathan West (Morgan Weisser) has joined the Marines to save a girlfriend captured by the aliens, while Rodney Rowland's Cooper is an artificially created human whose service is inspired by a desire to escape the violent prejudice he faces on Earth. The action and stories are gritty and dramatic, and put a fresh spin on traditional wartime stories--highlights include "The Enemy," in which the 58th is stranded behind enemy lines; "Toy Soldiers," in which West's younger brother is serving under a dangerously reckless lieutenant; and the two-part "If They Lay Us Down to Rest…" and "Tell Our Moms We Done Our Best," which brought the series to a close with the Earth on the verge of peace talks with the aliens as the military launches a perilous operation. Commentary by Morgan and Wong and the cast would have been welcome, especially if the plans for the unseen second season could've been revealed, but unfortunately, no supplemental features are included in this slickly produced, no-frills set. --Paul Gaita

I've been waiting so long for this DVD release after watching some of the series back when it was first shown in Australia. What I saw, I enjoyed back then, but I saw only a minority of the episodes. This boxed set allowed me to enjoy ALL the episodes. It's a real disappointment that the series was never continued beyond the first season; there was so much potential for a great sci fi series.

Overall this is worth watching.
I find it tough to watch in 4:3 format (it really makes it feel old and it hard for me to fall completely into the action when watching on a 16:9 screen)
I had slight trouble with the first dvd getting it to play during the final chapter of the first episode. All other dvd's have had no problem.
The play quality on my dvd player is not perfect. I think its because my player is not a region 1 player (its multi-region). Basically there is a slight ... Read More

Ordinary people thrown into an extradordinary circumstances change. Some for the good, others for the bad, still others bond together with the mutual trauma of things constantly faced. They don't have to go to a therapy group; a look, a shrug, a hand on the shoulder says it all. I've read many reviews where folks have compared the make-believe space command ranks and procedures to real military protocals and ranks. It was a TV show. A Fantastic one. A realistic one from a human stand point. Some have ... Read More

It,s a very good show, but you sometimes have to remind yourself that it is a tv series not a movie. I think they should make a Movie though its a great idea.

BSG got a some or more ideas from this series...
Its a good movie. Its only weakness is that is focusing to much on US Marines instead of inventing a common earth force.. (since i am from europe). But it is a good, action driven sf movie.
It has a lot the feeling of Starship Troopers..
