Lost - Season 1 - Part 1 on DVD (2004)

Big Geordie from Geordie Land , 17/10/2005

I too bought this on region 1 from america and it is good, but not that good. I honestly dont think they know where they are going with the plot. I think most will be made up as they go along. The region 1 release was the complete series for about £32.00. Yet they release the region 2 version in two halves each costing about £28.00, (do the maths). We should not stand by and get ripped of like this. Rent the series first and if you enjoy enough buy the complete 24 episodes on region 1.

Only seen the first 3 episodes on TV, but the tv 'breaks' are driving me nuts! It somehow reminds me of 24 and thats not a bad thing. Everyone has a story here that you can't wait to see unfold. It's much, much more than a bunch of people on a desert island. Enjoy!

The problem with these stories is that the whole story is not written with a start AND an end. So to the cutomer from Hull , watch the extra disc with the interviews and then you will understand that it is made up as it goes along. Dont get me wrong I am a fan and I am enjoying the story so far. But from experience I feel I will be let down by the desire to make the thing last as long as say the X files. Ultimately they lose the plot along the road at some point. For example spielberg's Band of brothers was ten episodes, written with a start and an end. Taken was the same. When you look at Lost, they do not even know what is beneath the hatch until it gets written for season 2. I just wish that they would say this story is 3 seasons long , written with a start and end. Instead they try to bleed the story to death.

Thank you to who ever came up with the idea for Postal DVD rental. Because there is no way i'm buying a Season 1 - Part 1 DVD box set. Least with DVD rental i can watch Lost again at a later date for a faction of the price. Anyways the thing about Lost is it came out of the blue for me, there wasn't much promotion for it. So i've found that alot of people like me thought this was going to be a short series based on the plot. So i became obsessed with it. Now that i know it's going to be a long series, i'm gonna wait for the future DVD releases. Far better than annoying adverts and having to wait seven days for the next clue. So if you haven't seen it yet and you like mystery, fate, character links, polar bears, whispering vioces and plot clues that dangle on the end of a stick like a carrot and a donkey, then renting the DVD is the best way to watch Lost.

LOST became one of the most popular and critically acclaimed programs of the 2004-2005 season. Utilizing a ripe premise and well-drawn and acted characters, LOST attracted a huge following and was proclaimed the saving grace of a television year otherwise marred by derivative reality programming. The story concerns the survivors of a terrible plane crash, who find themselves stranded on a tropical island with seemingly little chance of a rescue. Medical doctor Jack takes a position of leadership, helping to rally the survivors and prepare them for a period of difficulty as they learn how to survive on the paradisiacal island. But everything is not as it seems, as the island offers potential danger in the form of a large, mysterious creature, and evidence is found that the plane crash may not have been an accident. As they struggle to survive, each of the characters forms alliances and makes enemies, all while dealing with the unresolved issues of the lives they've left behind. LOST distills the difficulties of society down to their essence, exploring these problems with compelling characters and with a setting that's equal parts paradise and mystery.

Initially this series seemed quite good but after a while it became apparent to me that the espisode writers were just making it up as they went along. There's talk of them stretching Lost out into 6 series. Every episode adds more mystery without answering any questions. This, I believe, is to keep people tuned in and thus create more advertising revenue for the TV stations.

If you don't mind watching hours of a story that never goes anywhere then Lost is for you. If not then steer clear.
