Guyana Tragedy: Jim Jones Story

The only reason this doesn't get five stars is because of the quality. I've been looking for this movie for years so bought it anyway despite the warnings about the lousy DVD quality. I had taped this from TV and the tape basically disintegrated. I'm glad I bought this CD but the quality is just as bad as on VHS. My recommendation is that if you have a decent VHS copy don't buy this. If you don't have it, buy this and wait for the release of a better quality DVD.

Talk about no effort. This is really a terrible transfer. It really looks like someone had an old vhs tape of this 2 part tv movie and they just recorded it as is onto dvd. From the first minute to the last, you are treated to a dark, scratchy, hissing and popping movie. This is a terrific film, with an all star cast. Such an interesting story wasted with an awful dvd. This is one I truly hope someone would put out the right way.

I purchased this movie and couldn't wait to get to get it. As a kid, this movie used to come on a lot and I use to watch it all the time with my mother. At first, I was a little skeptical to get it, but I took the chance. I was a skeptical because most of the user reviews stated how bad the quality was. Now, I'll admit, the quality on this is not your typical DVD quality. It does look like it was transferred from VHS, but it's still watchable. It just looks like you were watching it on tape. If they ever re-release a better quality version, I'll buy that, also. For now, though, this version is perfect enough for anyone who wants to see it again or for the first time. As a kid, though, I didn't understand that this was really real, but now that I am older, I understand how sad this was. Anyway, this is and has always been a wonderful fim.

It was quite a moving movie and so heartbreaking. And to think this actually transpired!

This movie is so good, I do hope that other people watch this movie... All the actors, and actresses were great....
