Blu-ray Review: Lost - The Complete Sixth and Final Season

Lost: The Complete Sixth and Final Season
Special Features:  The Man in Charge, The End: Crafting A Final Season, A Hero's Journey, See You In *** ********* (edited for spoilers), Brotha, LOST on Location, Lost in 8:15 - A Crash Course; Lost Bloopers, Deleted Scenes, Audio Commentaries, Lost University, SeasonPlay, Seamless Menus, and more.

Well, at last, here it is.  The story that captivated (and confused) millions of viewers has reached its conclusion.  The journey of those on Oceanic flight 815 has reached an ending.  For better or for worse, Lost is over.

It's fan base does remain insatiable as this release has shot straight to the top of the DVD sales charts.  With good reason of course, it is a pretty stellar season, at least to me.  I enjoyed the ride Lost has taken me on since the beginning right on up to the final scene.  So then we've reached the conclusion.  The fates of the characters we've loved are revealed and now we can say goodbye again with this set.

Lost has never looked better.  The picture is gorgeous, the colors rich and deep.

The real draw though are the features, well at least one of them.  The coda to the show, the "epilogue" featuring Ben and Hurley.  I'm of course not going to tell you a thing about it except to say I enjoyed it.  I'm not sure it's entirely necessary but it's an okay addition.

As a whole the set is a must own for fans of the show and for those hoping to see how it all ends before (miraculously by now) nothing is spoiled.

I think it is a bit overpriced though considering it's a truncated season but clearly people are willing to pay since it is selling rather well so far.

If you're a Lost fan you're going to buy this no matter what I say and if you aren't a Lost fan, well, you probably aren't even reading this.

Believe me, for picture and sound alone you should get this.  It really does look great on Blu-ray.

No matter where you stand on its final moments, Lost's impact on television and popular culture cannot be denied.  It was (some might say still is) a hugely important show and it's final episodes deserve a home on anyone's shelf.

Whether you think the producers had it all laid out at the beginning (personally, I don't) or that it was all spur of the moment, the shows final season delivers.  You get answers and in typical Lost fashion more questions but in the end you know the fates of everyone involved and you feel like the journey is over.

I still find myself wishing it wasn't but at least I can relive every moment with the Blu-rays!

Lost: The Complete Sixth and Final Season is available now.  You can also pick up Lost: The Complete Collection on DVD and Blu-ray.  if you ask me this is the way to go if you don't have any of the other seasons!

  1. Lost was good at the first few episodes of the first season but then, it just got really boring. Dunno.
