Plots(1)
Like the classic 1960s series of the same name, each episode is a celebration of the human imagination in which humanity's exploration of new frontiers in technology, outer space and the human experience reveal our greatest hopes and darkest fears. Stories on The Outer Limits have explored the consequences of such controversial and thought-provoking topics as genetic manipulation, alien visitation and life after death.

The Outer Limits (1995)
Twilight Zone wannabe. It is a great shame that The Outer Limits used up almost all of its potential immediately in the opening, feature-length episode where they adapted a perfect novelette by G.R.R. Martin, “Sandkings". The episodes that followed were just regular episodes where the high point is always the unforgettable theme tune. Unfortunately, it happened too often that the intro scene before the opening credits is outstanding and works as a teaser, but when the credits end we get a half an hour of boredom, and things only start to get going again toward the end. There were a lot of good episodes of The Outer Limits, but only very few of them are episodes of genius, while we get dozens of mediocre ones.

Sandkings (1995) (S01E01)
I'm not too sure if this is supposed to be the opening feature film for the short story series The Outer Limits. If so, it is an almost perfect adaptation of G.R.R. Martin's brilliant short story "Sandkings". Paradoxically, right from the start, this is the best that The Other Limits has ever offered.
