Review of The Starlost

The Starlost (1973–1974)
3/10
Interesting for its time
6 August 2012
I took the time to watch the series and I understand why Harlan Ellison distanced himself from the project. The production was similar to a cross between Saturday morning's "Land of the Lost" and "Doctor Who" during the Tom Baker era. It is too bad that the budget was so low. The show could have been so much more. With the technology we have today using computer graphics it could be amazing. The most noticeable "bad graphics" are with the Color Separation process or "green screen." That technology alone has become pretty seamless today in such programs as the current Doctor Who, Sanctuary or Warehouse 13. Harlan Ellison was a brilliant writer and the story has great potential today if someone would produce it.
