EFC Season #1 is Available!


Finally!!!!!!! At my semi-monthly check at Amazon for Earth Final Conflict, they are finally taking orders for Season #1, to be shipped on May 11th. If you preorder, it is 29.99, and qualifies for Amazon's free shipping! Now, all we have to do is wait for season #2! Hooray!

Yes, I hope the rest of the seasons will be re-released on DVD as they are not currently available.

That may be true.... Amazon did say that it would ship as soon as available. They had May 11th as the ship date, but it might be earlier....It would be nice to get the others back in print. I bought Seasons 3-5 when they were originally released a few years ago, but I notice the eBay and Amazon used prices have gone sky high! Season 5 still stinks though..... ;)

I ordered mine. I can't wait to see season one. It was so good too bad things went south, but still it is a great story and Zo'or makes the later seasons worthwhile.

UPDATE: Mine shipped from Amazon today 4/29/09.

I got my set yesterday. As you may expect it is bare bones. There are five episodes per disk and not much in they way of extras. There is an introduction by (Rod Gene's son) it sucks looks like they did it in one take and somr cast commentary but I have not listened to those.

They have not re-mastered the picture or sound so on my TV 53 inch Sony Bravia XBR6 it looks about as good as it can. It looks a bit washed and has a video tape quality to it. I have noticed that I can see a lot more detail when the Talon’s are in their Talon form. The sound is very low I had to turn up my receiver just to hear Boone speak. I might try to fool around with my audio settings to see if I can get it any better, it might just be on my end.

I am just happy to have season one. I watched the first two episodes last night and I was both happy and sad. I am happy to be watching this fantastic show again but sad because I know that it's potential was wasted and its conclusion a bit lackluster.

Anyway, it's well worth it if you are a fan. I cannot wait for season two to come out so I can have the complete series.

I got mine today.... I havent even opened it yet, but we are planning an EFC-fest for this weekend. My wife has never seen the show, and wont watch any of the later seasons (I have 3,4 and 5 already) until she sees Season 1!... now, is there any word on Season 2's DVD availability??

reply

No word on season two I suspect we could see it in as short as a few months or as long as a year.

They know the numbers will not be huge for this so they will either want to get it out fast and be done with it, or they will sit on it and get it out in their sweet ass time.

Seasons 3,4, and 5 have been discontinued I wonder if they will reissue them. I am sure there will be people picking up season one who do not have 3,4, and 5.

If you're especially eager to have the later seasons, Season Two was recently released here in Australia, and Season Three is out in July. I figure the exchange rate should be fairly favourable for you folks in the US. Online retailers like EzyDVD and JbHiFi will have them, should you be interested.

Are those seasons like the new Season 1 DVD that just came out? Do they have commentary with the actors and crew? That's what I'd like to see for all the seasons.

I wonder why they are being released in Australia? Is there a market for the show there?

Btw, I'm not sure if the DVDs for Australia are compatible with North America, are they?

reply

Just a note.... I went to EzyDVD's site, and they have Season 2 for around $45US. BUT, it is in PAL format. Not all DVD players can play PAL DVD's (NTSC is the prevailing US format), so be sure to check your DVD player....

reply

Season One of EFC in Australia has no extras, and as far as I know, neither does S2. Can't say regarding Season Three as yet, as the local distributor has only just announced it (www.madman.com.au/viavision), or as to whether they intend to release S4 and 5. I think certain rights to the show belong to different owners, hence why S1 and 2 have been released here, and only S3-5 have been previously available in the US.

I got a S2 set a few days ago. It's in PAL, but it plays on the PC very well. Actually, I think PAL has slightly better color and resolution than NTSC. So if you don't mind sitting in front of the PC, it's a decent price and worth it.

S2 is quite a trip. They turned on the T&A and the rancor between Zo'or and Da'an something fierce. Most of the action moves from the streets of Toronto to Liberation headquarters, the Taelon ship, and someplace out in interdimensional space. Oh and the costumes get pretty rad along with the plot lines. More battles and conflict and far less cerebral in S2.

Season 1 zone 2 available in France on December 4th, 2013 !!!
I saw it on Amazon.

reply

I own it!

reply

Was the reasoning behind releasing the later seasons earlier than the first (and i think second) ever explained? that just makes no sense to me

reply

I've seen it happen before; a need to re-do some kind of licensing agreement or litigation resolved before an older season can be released! ;-)

Netflix has Season One. Will they evwe get the other seasons?

reply

Luckily I still have it on tape after all these years! I should put them to disk, but it got cheesier and hard to watch as time went on; esp. the final seasons with the ATIVUS!  
