The Starlost Ratings & Reviews

flavo435d ago
The Starlost may have been well before my time, but when I finally discovered it, I was surprised by how deeply the story grabbed me. Despite its reputation for production troubles and limitations, the core concept is immensely compelling: a massive generation ship gone astray, its isolated domes unaware of their true situation, each with its own culture, mysteries, and dangers. The characters, the unpredictability of each episode, and the mix of action, exploration, and existential discovery made it feel like a true model of what mystery-driven science fiction should be. Even with its dated effects, the imagination behind the series shines through. It’s one of those hidden gems that feels ripe for a modern reimagining—streaming platforms today could do wonders with its premise, budget, and serialized storytelling. And honestly, I’ve noticed more than a few modern shows quietly borrowing elements from it. The Starlost deserves recognition as a precursor to many sci-fi ideas that came later.
