Title: solid scifi, but this is excessively expensive for all but collectors
Product review: This is good hard scifi, told as an adaptation to the Defoe classic. The sole survivor realistically struggles to survive and finds some interseting ways of doing so, such as his chance discovery that certain rocks gave off scarce oxygen. He sets himself up pretty well, then is surprised to discover slaves arrive with a seemingly technologically superior race.While the arrival of the alines was a bit puzzling to me - where are they from? Why don't earthmen know about them? Whey do they keep themselves hidden from humans? Are they a race of men? it is tantilizingly never made clear, also a mark of good scifi. There is nothing that ruins the mystery of it, which is fun and had lived in my imagination since my father took me to see this when I was 8.Thus, I would recommend this, but the superdeluxe price is a bit out of range, to say the least.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
